Dataset Card for SYNTHETIC

The SYNTHETIC dataset is a part of the LEAF benchmark. This version corresponds to the dataset generated with default parameters that give a dataset with:

input (x) of length 60;
5 unique labels (y)
1000 unique devices (device_id).

Dataset Details

Dataset Description

Curated by: LEAF
License: BSD 2-Clause License

Uses

This dataset is intended to be used in Federated Learning settings.

Direct Use

We recommend using Flower Dataset (flwr-datasets) and Flower (flwr).

To partition the dataset, do the following.

Install the package.

pip install flwr-datasets

Use the HF Dataset under the hood in Flower Datasets.

from flwr_datasets import FederatedDataset
from flwr_datasets.partitioner import NaturalIdPartitioner

fds = FederatedDataset(
    dataset="flwrlabs/synthetic",
    partitioners={"train": NaturalIdPartitioner(partition_by="device_id")}
)
partition = fds.load_partition(partition_id=0)

Dataset Structure

The whole dataset is kept in the train split. If you want to leave out some part of the dataset for centralized evaluation, use Resplitter. (The full example is coming soon here).

Citation

When working on the LEAF benchmark, please cite the original paper. If you're using this dataset with Flower Datasets, you can cite Flower.
