Demos

Prerequisites

  • Recommend Python>=3.8,<=3.10
  • gcc >= 5 (at least C++14 support)

Installation

From Source

  • Run the following commands to install the latest basic data_juicer version in editable mode:
cd <path_to_data_juicer>
pip install -v -e .
  • Some OPs rely on some other too large or low-platform-compatibility third-party libraries. You can install optional dependencies as needed:
cd <path_to_data_juicer>
pip install -v -e .  # install a minimal dependencies, which support the basic functions
pip install -v -e .[tools] # install a subset of tools dependencies

The dependency options are listed below:

Tag Description
. or .[mini] Install minimal dependencies for basic Data-Juicer.
.[all] Install all dependencies except sandbox.
.[sci] Install all dependencies for all OPs.
.[dist] Install dependencies for distributed data processing. (Experimental)
.[dev] Install dependencies for developing the package as contributors.
.[tools] Install dependencies for dedicated tools, such as quality classifiers.
.[sandbox] Install all dependencies for sandbox.

Using pip

  • Run the following command to install the latest released data_juicer using pip:
pip install py-data-juicer
  • Note:
    • only the basic APIs in data_juicer and two basic tools (data processing and analysis) are available in this way. If you want customizable and complete functions, we recommend you install data_juicer from source.
    • The release versions from pypi have a certain lag compared to the latest version from source. So if you want to follow the latest functions of data_juicer, we recommend you install from source.

Using Docker

  • You can
    • either pull our pre-built image from DockerHub:

      docker pull datajuicer/data-juicer:<version_tag>
    • or run the following command to build the docker image including the latest data-juicer with provided Dockerfile:

      docker build -t datajuicer/data-juicer:<version_tag> .
    • The format of <version_tag> is like v0.2.0, which is the same as release version tag.

Installation check

import data_juicer as dj
print(dj.__version__)

For Video-related Operators

Before using video-related operators, FFmpeg should be installed and accessible via the $PATH environment variable.

You can install FFmpeg using package managers(e.g. sudo apt install ffmpeg on Debian/Ubuntu, brew install ffmpeg on OS X) or visit the official ffmpeg link.

Check if your environment path is set correctly by running the ffmpeg command from the terminal.

Quick Start

Data Processing

  • Run process_data.py tool or dj-process command line tool with your config as the argument to process your dataset.
# only for installation from source
python tools/process_data.py --config configs/demo/process.yaml

# use command line tool
dj-process --config configs/demo/process.yaml
  • Note: For some operators that involve third-party models or resources which are not stored locally on your computer, it might be slow for the first running because these ops need to download corresponding resources into a directory first. The default download cache directory is ~/.cache/data_juicer. Change the cache location by setting the shell environment variable, DATA_JUICER_CACHE_HOME to another directory, and you can also change DATA_JUICER_MODELS_CACHE or DATA_JUICER_ASSETS_CACHE in the same way:

  • Note: When using operators with third-party models, it's necessary to declare the corresponding mem_required in the configuration file (you can refer to the settings in the config_all.yaml file). During runtime, Data-Juicer will control the number of processes based on memory availability and the memory requirements of the operator models to achieve better data processing efficiency. When running with CUDA environment, if the mem_required for an operator is not declared correctly, it could potentially lead to a CUDA Out of Memory issue.

# cache home
export DATA_JUICER_CACHE_HOME="/path/to/another/directory"
# cache models
export DATA_JUICER_MODELS_CACHE="/path/to/another/directory/models"
# cache assets
export DATA_JUICER_ASSETS_CACHE="/path/to/another/directory/assets"

Flexible Programming Interface

We provide various simple interfaces for users to choose from as follows.

#... init op & dataset ...

# Chain call style, support single operator or operator list
dataset = dataset.process(op)
dataset = dataset.process([op1, op2])
# Functional programming style for quick integration or script prototype iteration
dataset = op(dataset)
dataset = op.run(dataset)

Distributed Data Processing

We have now implemented multi-machine distributed data processing based on RAY. The corresponding demos can be run using the following commands:

# Run text data processing
python tools/process_data.py --config ./demos/process_on_ray/configs/demo.yaml
# Run video data processing
python tools/process_data.py --config ./demos/process_video_on_ray/configs/demo.yaml
  • To run data processing across multiple machines, it is necessary to ensure that all distributed nodes can access the corresponding data paths (for example, by mounting the respective data paths on a file-sharing system such as NAS).
  • The deduplicator operators for RAY mode are different from the single-machine version, and all those operators are prefixed with ray, e.g. ray_video_deduplicator and ray_document_deduplicator. Those operators also rely on a Redis instance. So in addition to starting the RAY cluster, you also need to setup your Redis instance in advance and provide host and port of your Redis instance in configuration.

Users can also opt not to use RAY and instead split the dataset to run on a cluster with Slurm. In this case, please use the default Data-Juicer without RAY. Aliyun PAI-DLC supports the RAY framework, Slurm framework, etc. Users can directly create RAY jobs and Slurm jobs on the DLC cluster.

Data Analysis

  • Run analyze_data.py tool or dj-analyze command line tool with your config as the argument to analyze your dataset.
# only for installation from source
python tools/analyze_data.py --config configs/demo/analyzer.yaml

# use command line tool
dj-analyze --config configs/demo/analyzer.yaml
  • Note: Analyzer only compute stats of Filter ops. So extra Mapper or Deduplicator ops will be ignored in the analysis process.

Data Visualization

  • Run app.py tool to visualize your dataset in your browser.
  • Note: only available for installation from source.
streamlit run app.py

Build Up Config Files

  • Config files specify some global arguments, and an operator list for the data process. You need to set:
    • Global arguments: input/output dataset path, number of workers, etc.
    • Operator list: list operators with their arguments used to process the dataset.
  • You can build up your own config files by:
    • ➖:Modify from our example config file config_all.yaml which includes all ops and default arguments. You just need to remove ops that you won't use and refine some arguments of ops.
    • ➕:Build up your own config files from scratch. You can refer our example config file config_all.yaml, op documents, and advanced Build-Up Guide for developers.
    • Besides the yaml files, you also have the flexibility to specify just one (of several) parameters on the command line, which will override the values in yaml files.
python xxx.py --config configs/demo/process.yaml --language_id_score_filter.lang=en
  • The basic config format and definition is shown below.

    Basic config example of format and definition

Sandbox

The data sandbox laboratory (DJ-Sandbox) provides users with the best practices for continuously producing data recipes. It features low overhead, portability, and guidance.

  • In the sandbox, users can quickly experiment, iterate, and refine data recipes based on small-scale datasets and models, before scaling up to produce high-quality data to serve large-scale models.
  • In addition to the basic data optimization and recipe refinement features offered by Data-Juicer, users can seamlessly use configurable components such as data probe and analysis, model training and evaluation, and data and model feedback-based recipe refinement to form a complete one-stop data-model research and development pipeline.

The sandbox is run using the following commands by default, and for more information and details, please refer to the sandbox documentation.

python tools/sandbox_starter.py --config configs/demo/sandbox/sandbox.yaml

Preprocess Raw Data (Optional)

  • Our formatters support some common input dataset formats for now:
    • Multi-sample in one file: jsonl/json, parquet, csv/tsv, etc.
    • Single-sample in one file: txt, code, docx, pdf, etc.
  • However, data from different sources are complicated and diverse. Such as:
    • Raw arXiv data downloaded from S3 include thousands of tar files and even more gzip files in them, and expected tex files are embedded in the gzip files so they are hard to obtain directly.
    • Some crawled data include different kinds of files (pdf, html, docx, etc.). And extra information like tables, charts, and so on is hard to extract.
  • It's impossible to handle all kinds of data in Data-Juicer, issues/PRs are welcome to contribute to process new data types!
  • Thus, we provide some common preprocessing tools in tools/preprocess for you to preprocess these data.
    • You are welcome to make your contributions to new preprocessing tools for the community.
    • We highly recommend that complicated data can be preprocessed to jsonl or parquet files.

For Docker Users

  • If you build or pull the docker image of data-juicer, you can run the commands or tools mentioned above using this docker image.
  • Run directly:
# run the data processing directly
docker run --rm \  # remove container after the processing
  --name dj \  # name of the container
  -v <host_data_path>:<image_data_path> \  # mount data or config directory into the container
  -v ~/.cache/:/root/.cache/ \  # mount the cache directory into the container to reuse caches and models (recommended)
  datajuicer/data-juicer:<version_tag> \  # image to run
  dj-process --config /path/to/config.yaml  # similar data processing commands
  • Or enter into the running container and run commands in editable mode:
# start the container
docker run -dit \  # run the container in the background
  --rm \
  --name dj \
  -v <host_data_path>:<image_data_path> \
  -v ~/.cache/:/root/.cache/ \
  datajuicer/data-juicer:latest /bin/bash

# enter into this container and then you can use data-juicer in editable mode
docker exec -it <container_id> bash
