<p>At training and testing time, PaddlePaddle programs need to read data. To ease the users&#8217; work to write data reading code, we define that</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>A <em>reader</em> is a function that reads data (from file, network, random number generator, etc) and yields data items.</li>
<li>A <em>reader creator</em> is a function that returns a reader function.</li>
<li>A <em>reader decorator</em> is a function, which accepts one or more readers, and returns a reader.</li>
<li>A <em>batch reader</em> is a function that reads data (from <em>reader</em>, file, network, random number generator, etc) and yields a batch of data items.</li>
</ul>
<p>and provide function which converts reader to batch reader, frequently used reader creators and reader decorators.</p>
<div class="section" id="data-reader-interface">
<span id="data-reader-interface"></span><h2>Data Reader Interface<a class="headerlink" href="#data-reader-interface" title="永久链接至标题"></a></h2>
<p>Indeed, <em>data reader</em> doesn&#8217;t have to be a function that reads and yields data items. It can be any function with no parameter that creates a iterable (anything can be used in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">for</span> <span class="pre">x</span> <span class="pre">in</span> <span class="pre">iterable</span></code>):</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">iterable</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">data_reader</span><span class="p">()</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Element produced from the iterable should be a <strong>single</strong> entry of data, <strong>not</strong> a mini batch. That entry of data could be a single item, or a tuple of items. Item should be of <a class="reference external" href="http://www.paddlepaddle.org/doc/ui/data_provider/pydataprovider2.html?highlight=dense_vector#input-types">supported type</a> (e.g., numpy 1d array of float32, int, list of int)</p>

<p><em>batch reader</em> can be any function with no parameter that creates a iterable (anything can be used in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">for</span> <span class="pre">x</span> <span class="pre">in</span> <span class="pre">iterable</span></code>). The output of the iterable should be a batch (list) of data items. Each item inside the list must be a tuple.</p>
<p>Here are valid outputs:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="c1"># a mini batch of three data items. Each data item consist three columns of data, each of which is 1.</span>

</div>
<p>Please note that each item inside the list must be a tuple, below is an invalid output:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span> <span class="c1"># wrong, [1,1,1] needs to be inside a tuple: ([1,1,1],).</span>
 <span class="c1"># Otherwise it&#39;s ambiguous whether [1,1,1] means a single column of data [1, 1, 1],</span>
 <span class="c1"># or three column of datas, each of which is 1.</span>

<p>Always returning a single entry make reusing existing data readers much easier (e.g., if existing reader return not a single entry but 3 entries, training code will be more complex because it need to handle cases like batch size 2).</p>
<p>We provide function <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">paddle.batch</span></code> to turn (single entry) reader into batch reader.</p>

<p>In most of the case, train taking reader and batch_size as arguments would be sufficent. However sometimes user want to customize order of data entries inside a mini batch. Or even change batch size dynamically.</p>
