class tlc.client.sample_type.SampleType(name: str)#

Bases: abc.ABC, typing.Generic[tlc.client.sample_type.ST, tlc.client.sample_type.RT]

The base class for all sample types.

A SampleType defines the type of a single sample. It can be used to create a Schema for a Table, and convert samples between their ML ‘sample’ representation and their Table ‘row’ representation. SampleType objects are structured like trees, with composite types (e.g. lists, tuples, dicts) as internal nodes and atomic types (e.g. ints, floats, strings) as leaves.

SampleType objects can be created in three main ways:

  1. From a Schema object, using SampleType.from_schema(schema).

  2. From a sample, using SampleType.from_sample(sample).

  3. From a ‘structure’, a simple declarative description of the structure of a single sample, using SampleType.from_structure(structure).

If you have custom types that you want to use in your Table, you can create a SampleType for them by subclassing the appropriate subclass of SampleType and registering it with the register_sample_type decorator.

Parameters:

name – The name of the SampleType. This will be used as the column name in the Table.

sample_type: str = None#

A string representing the type of the SampleType. This is used to identify the SampleType in a Schema.

rename(name: str) None#

Rename the SampleType.

Parameters:

name – The new name of the SampleType.

abstract sample_from_row(row: tlc.client.sample_type.RT) tlc.client.sample_type.ST#

Convert a row to a sample using the SampleType.

Parameters:

row – The row to convert.

Returns:

The converted sample.

abstract row_from_sample(sample: tlc.client.sample_type.ST) tlc.client.sample_type.RT#

Convert a sample to a row using the SampleType.

Parameters:

sample – The sample to convert.

Returns:

The converted row.

abstract property schema: tlc.core.schema.Schema#

A Schema object representing the SampleType.

Returns:

The Schema object.

classmethod from_schema(schema: tlc.core.schema.Schema, name: str = 'value') tlc.client.sample_type.SampleType#

Create a SampleType from a Schema.

Parameters:
  • schema – The Schema to create the SampleType from.

  • name – An optional name for the NoOpSampleType fallback.

Returns:

The created SampleType.

classmethod from_structure(structure: tlc.client.sample_type._SampleTypeStructure, name: str = 'value') tlc.client.sample_type.SampleType#

Create a SampleType from a structure.

A structure is a simple declarative description of the structure of a single sample. Instead of initializing SampleType objects for composite sample types, structures can be represented as nested lists, tuples, or dicts containing either SampleType objects, or simply a subclass of SampleType where you don’t care about the names of the columns.

E.g. ((Int, Int), String) is equivalent to:

HorizontalTuple("value",
    [
        HorizontalTuple("value_0", [Int("value_0_0"), Int("value_0_1")]),
        String("value_1")
    ]
)
Parameters:
  • structure – The structure to create the SampleType from.

  • name – The name of the SampleType.

Returns:

The created SampleType.

classmethod from_sample(sample: tlc.client.sample_type.ST, name: str = 'value', all_arrays_are_fixed_size: bool = False) tlc.client.sample_type.SampleType#

Create a SampleType from a sample.

This method is used to create a SampleType when creating a Table from a PyTorch Dataset, and the user has not specified a SampleType or a structure. Since a SampleType is needed to convert a sample to a row, the first sample of the dataset is used as a reference to create the SampleType.

Parameters:
  • sample – The sample to create the SampleType from.

  • name – The name of the SampleType.

  • all_arrays_are_fixed_size – If True, all arrays will be treated as fixed size arrays.

Returns:

The created SampleType.

ensure_sample_valid(sample: object) None#

Parameters:

sample – The sample to validate.

Raises:

ValueError – If the sample does not match this SampleType.

ensure_row_valid(row: object) None#

Raises a ValueError if the row does not match this SampleType. Does nothing otherwise.

Parameters:

row – The row to validate.

Raises:

ValueError – If the row does not match this SampleType.

Atomic sample types are sample types that contain a single value. They are used to represent atomic data structures like ints, floats, strings, and images. Atomic sample types have the value attribute, which is a ScalarValue required to create a Schema for the SampleType.

property schema: tlc.core.schema.Schema#
sample_from_row(row: object) NoReturn#

While the ‘sample view’ of a Hidden sample normally does not exist, this is a useful workaround for writing values with a “hidden” sample type in their schema to a Table using TableWriter

ensure_sample_valid(sample: object) None#

Bases: tlc.client.sample_type.StringKeyDict

A COCO-like list of bounding boxes.

Parameters:

name – The name of the SampleType. This will be used as the column name in the Table.

class tlc.client.sample_type.SegmentationMask(name: str, classes: list[str] | dict[int, str] | dict[float, str] | dict[float, tlc.core.schema.MapElement] = [])#

Bases: tlc.client.sample_type.AtomicSampleType[torch.Tensor, str]

A torch tensor representing a segmentation mask.

The tensor is expected to have shape (H, W) and contain integer values representing the class of each pixel.

Parameters:

name – The name of the SampleType. This will be used as the column name in the Table.
