Interface GroupedDataset<KEY,DATASET extends Dataset<INSTANCE>,INSTANCE>

Type Parameters:

KEY - Type of dataset class key

DATASET - Type of sub-datasets.

INSTANCE - Type of instances in the dataset

All Superinterfaces:

Dataset<INSTANCE>, Iterable<INSTANCE>, Map<KEY,DATASET>

All Known Implementing Classes:

ATandTDataset, ClusterEvalDataset, MapBackedDataset, MusicSpeechDataset, ReadableGroupDataset, TextFileDataset, UKBenchGroupDataset, VFSGroupDataset, WineDataset

public interface GroupedDataset<KEY,DATASET extends Dataset<INSTANCE>,INSTANCE>
extends Dataset<INSTANCE>, Map<KEY,DATASET>

A Dataset that is grouped into separate classes or groups. Each group is represented by a key, and each key corresponds to a sub-dataset.

Sub-datasets can be any kind of Dataset, including GroupedDatasets, so it is possible to build tree structures.
