Dataset.commits	Lists all the commits leading to the current dataset state.
Dataset.branches	Lists all the branches of the dataset.

Dataset Views

A dataset view is a subset of a dataset that points to specific samples (indices) in an existing dataset. Dataset views can be created by indexing a dataset, filtering a dataset with Dataset.filter(), querying a dataset with Dataset.query() or by sampling a dataset with Dataset.sample_by(). Filtering is done with user-defined functions or simplified expressions whereas query can perform SQL-like queries with our Tensor Query Language. See the full TQL spec here.

Dataset views can only be saved when a dataset has been committed and has no changes on the HEAD node, in order to preserve data lineage and prevent the underlying data from changing after the query or filter conditions have been evaluated.

Example

>>> import deeplake
>>> # load dataset
>>> ds = deeplake.load("hub://activeloop/mnist-train")
>>> # filter dataset
>>> zeros = ds.filter("labels == 0")
>>> # save view
>>> zeros.save_view(id="zeros")
>>> # load_view
>>> zeros = ds.load_view(id="zeros")
>>> len(zeros)
