In this post, you wil learn about how to use
Sklearn datasets for training
machine learning models. Here is a list of different types of datasets which are available as part of
sklearn.datasets - Iris (Iris plant datasets used – Classification)
- Boston (Boston house prices – Regression)
- Wine (Wine recognition set – Classification)
- Breast Cancer (Breast cancer wisconsin diagnostic – Classification)
- Digits (Optical recognition of handwritten digits dataset – Classification)
- Linnerud (Linnerrud dataset – Classification)
- Diabetes (Diabetes – Regression)
The following command could help you load any of the datasets:
from sklearn import datasets
iris = datasets.load_iris()
boston = datasets.load_boston()
breast_cancer = datasets.load_breast_cancer()
diabetes = datasets.load_diabetes()
wine = datasets.load_wine()
datasets.load_linnerud()
digits = datasets.load_digits()
All of the datasets come with the following and are intended for use with
supervised learning:
- Data (to be used for training)
- Labels (Target)
- Labels attriibute
- Description of the dataset
The following command can be used for accessing the value of above:
# Let's use IRIS as an example for reading different aspects of data
iris.data
iris.target
iris.target_names
print(iris.DESCR)
