	<p>You have already seen how to load a dataset from the Hugging Face Hub. But datasets are stored in a variety of places, and sometimes you won’t find the one you want on the Hub. A dataset can be on disk on your local machine, in a Github repository, and in in-memory data structures like Python dictionaries and Pandas DataFrames. Wherever your dataset may be stored, 🤗 Datasets provides a way for you to load and use it for training.</p>
	<p>This guide will show you how to load a dataset from:</p>
	<ul><li>The Hub without a dataset loading script</li>
	<li>Local loading script</li>
	<li>Local files</li>
	<li>In-memory data</li>
	<li>Offline</li>
	<li>A specific slice of a split</li></ul>
	<p>You will also learn how to troubleshoot common errors, and how to load specific configurations of a metric.</p>

	<p>In the tutorial, you learned how to load a dataset from the Hub. This method relies on a dataset loading script that downloads and builds the dataset. However, you can also load a dataset from any dataset repository on the Hub <strong>without</strong> a loading script! </p>
	<p>First, create a dataset repository and upload your data files. Then you can use <a href="/docs/datasets/v2.2.2/en/package_reference/loading_methods#datasets.load_dataset">load_dataset()</a> like you learned in the tutorial. For example, load the files from this <a href="https://huggingface.co/datasets/lhoestq/demo1" rel="nofollow">demo repository</a> by providing the repository namespace and dataset name:</p>

	<span>Local and remote files

	<p>🤗 Datasets can be loaded from local files stored on your computer, and also from remote files. The datasets are most likely stored as a <code>csv</code>, <code>json</code>, <code>txt</code> or <code>parquet</code> file. The <a href="/docs/datasets/v2.2.2/en/package_reference/loading_methods#datasets.load_dataset">load_dataset()</a> method is able to load each of these file types.</p>

	<p>Even if you don’t have an internet connection, it is still possible to load a dataset. As long as you’ve downloaded a dataset from the Hub or 🤗 Datasets GitHub repository before, it should be cached. This means you can reload the dataset from the cache and use it offline.</p>
	<p>If you know you won’t have internet access, you can run 🤗 Datasets in full offline mode. This saves time because instead of waiting for the Dataset builder download to time out, 🤗 Datasets will look directly in the cache. Set the environment variable <code>HF_DATASETS_OFFLINE</code> to <code>1</code> to enable full offline mode.</p>

	<span>Slice splits
	</span></h2>

	<p>For even greater control over how to load a split, you can choose to only load specific slices of a split. There are two options for slicing a split: using strings or <a href="/docs/datasets/v2.2.2/en/package_reference/builder_classes#datasets.ReadInstruction">ReadInstruction</a>. Strings are more compact and readable for simple cases, while <a href="/docs/datasets/v2.2.2/en/package_reference/builder_classes#datasets.ReadInstruction">ReadInstruction</a> is easier to use with variable slicing parameters.</p>

	<span>Manual download
	</span></h3>

	<p>Certain datasets require you to manually download the dataset files due to licensing incompatibility, or if the files are hidden behind a login page. This will cause <a href="/docs/datasets/v2.2.2/en/package_reference/loading_methods#datasets.load_dataset">load_dataset()</a> to throw an <code>AssertionError</code>. But 🤗 Datasets provides detailed instructions for downloading the missing files. After you have downloaded the files, use the <code>data_dir</code> argument to specify the path to the files you just downloaded.</p>
	<p>For example, if you try to download a configuration from the <a href="https://huggingface.co/datasets/matinf" rel="nofollow">MATINF</a> dataset:</p>

	<span>Specify features
	</span></h3>

	<p>When you create a dataset from local files, the <a href="/docs/datasets/v2.2.2/en/package_reference/main_classes#datasets.Features">Features</a> are automatically inferred by <a href="https://arrow.apache.org/docs/" rel="nofollow">Apache Arrow</a>. However, the features of the dataset may not always align with your expectations or you may want to define the features yourself. </p>
	<p>The following example shows how you can add custom labels with <a href="/docs/datasets/v2.2.2/en/package_reference/main_classes#datasets.ClassLabel">ClassLabel</a>. First, define your own labels using the <a href="/docs/datasets/v2.2.2/en/package_reference/main_classes#datasets.Features">Features</a> class:</p>

	<span>Distributed setup
	</span></h3>

	<p>When you work in a distributed or parallel processing environment, loading and computing a metric can be tricky because these processes are executed in parallel on separate subsets of the data. 🤗 Datasets supports distributed usage with a few additional arguments when you load a metric.</p>
	<p>For example, imagine you are training and evaluating on eight parallel processes. Here’s how you would load a metric in this distributed setting:</p>
	<ol><li><p>Define the total number of processes with the <code>num_process</code> argument.</p></li>
	<li><p>Set the process <code>rank</code> as an integer between zero and <code>num_process - 1</code>. </p></li>
	<li><p>Load your metric with <a href="/docs/datasets/v2.2.2/en/package_reference/loading_methods#datasets.load_metric">load_metric()</a> with these arguments:</p></li></ol>
