# Dataset Creation Scripts |
|
|
|
Ready-to-run scripts for creating Hugging Face datasets from local files. |
|
|
|
## Available Scripts |
|
|
|
### π pdf-to-dataset.py |
|
|
|
Convert directories of PDF files into Hugging Face datasets. |
|
|
|
**Features:** |
|
- π Uploads PDFs as dataset objects for flexible processing |
|
- π·οΈ Automatic labeling from folder structure |
|
- π Zero configuration - just point at your PDFs |
|
- π€ Direct upload to Hugging Face Hub |
|
|
|
**Usage:** |
|
```bash |
|
# Basic usage |
|
uv run pdf-to-dataset.py /path/to/pdfs username/my-dataset |
|
|
|
# Create private dataset |
|
uv run pdf-to-dataset.py /path/to/pdfs username/my-dataset --private |
|
|
|
# Organized by categories (folder structure creates labels) |
|
# /pdfs/invoice/doc1.pdf β label: "invoice" |
|
# /pdfs/receipt/doc2.pdf β label: "receipt" |
|
uv run pdf-to-dataset.py /path/to/organized-pdfs username/categorized-docs |
|
``` |
|
|
|
**Output Format:** |
|
The script creates a dataset where each example contains a `pdf` object that can be processed using the datasets library. Users can then extract text, convert to images, or perform other operations as needed. |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from datasets import load_dataset |
|
|
|
# Load your uploaded dataset |
|
dataset = load_dataset("username/my-dataset") |
|
|
|
# Access PDF objects |
|
pdf = dataset["train"][0]["pdf"] |
|
``` |
|
|
|
**Requirements:** |
|
- Directory containing PDF files |
|
- Hugging Face account (for uploading) |
|
- No GPU needed - runs on CPU |
|
|
|
## Installation |
|
|
|
No installation needed! Just run with `uv`: |
|
|
|
```bash |
|
# Run directly from GitHub |
|
uv run https://huggingface.co/datasets/uv-scripts/dataset-creation/resolve/main/pdf-to-dataset.py --help |
|
|
|
# Or clone and run locally |
|
git clone https://huggingface.co/datasets/uv-scripts/dataset-creation |
|
cd dataset-creation |
|
uv run pdf-to-dataset.py /path/to/pdfs my-dataset |
|
``` |
|
|
|
## Authentication |
|
|
|
Scripts use Hugging Face authentication: |
|
1. Pass token via `--hf-token` argument |
|
2. Set `HF_TOKEN` environment variable |
|
3. Use cached credentials from `huggingface-cli login` |
|
|
|
## Examples |
|
|
|
### Create a Dataset from Research Papers |
|
```bash |
|
uv run pdf-to-dataset.py ~/Documents/papers username/research-papers |
|
``` |
|
|
|
### Organize Documents by Type |
|
```bash |
|
# Directory structure: |
|
# documents/ |
|
# βββ invoices/ |
|
# β βββ invoice1.pdf |
|
# β βββ invoice2.pdf |
|
# βββ receipts/ |
|
# βββ receipt1.pdf |
|
# βββ receipt2.pdf |
|
|
|
uv run pdf-to-dataset.py documents/ username/financial-docs |
|
# Creates dataset with labels: "invoices" and "receipts" |
|
``` |
|
|
|
## Tips |
|
|
|
- **Large PDFs**: The script handles large PDFs efficiently by uploading them as objects |
|
- **Organization**: Use subdirectories to automatically create labeled datasets |
|
- **Privacy**: Use `--private` flag for sensitive documents |
|
- **Processing**: After upload, use the datasets library to extract text, images, or metadata as needed |
