MatlabDataset

MatlabDataset loads and saves data to MATLAB files.

kedro_datasets.matlab.MatlabDataset

MatlabDataset(
    filepath,
    save_args=None,
    version=None,
    credentials=None,
    fs_args=None,
    metadata=None,
)

Bases: AbstractVersionedDataset[ndarray, ndarray]

MatlabDataSet loads and saves data from/to a MATLAB file using scipy.io.

Warning

MAT v5 files can contain pickled Python objects. scipy.io.loadmat() will deserialize these, which can execute arbitrary code if the file is untrusted. Only load .mat files from sources you trust.

Examples:

Using the YAML API:

cars:
  type: matlab.MatlabDataset
  filepath: gcs://your_bucket/cars.mat
  fs_args:
  project: my-project
  credentials: my_gcp_credentials

Using the Python API:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from kedro_datasets.matlab import MatlabDataset
>>>
>>> data = np.array([1, 2, 3])
>>>
>>> dataset = MatlabDataset(filepath=tmp_path / "test.mat")
>>> dataset.save(data)
>>> reloaded = dataset.load()
>>> assert (data == reloaded["data"]).all()

Parameters:

  • filepath (str) –

    Filepath in POSIX format to a Matlab file prefixed with a protocol like s3://. If prefix is not provided, file protocol (local filesystem) will be used. The prefix should be any protocol supported by fsspec. Note: http(s) doesn't support versioning.

  • save_args (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    .mat options for saving .mat files.

  • version (Version | None, default: None ) –

    If specified, should be an instance of kedro.io.core.Version. If its load attribute is None, the latest version will be loaded. If its save attribute is None, save version will be autogenerated.

  • credentials (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    Credentials required to get access to the underlying filesystem. E.g. for GCSFileSystem it should look like {"token": None}.

  • fs_args (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    Extra arguments to pass into underlying filesystem class constructor (e.g. {"project": "my-project"} for GCSFileSystem), as well as to pass to the filesystem's open method through nested keys open_args_load and open_args_save. Here you can find all available arguments for open: https://filesystem-spec.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#fsspec.spec.AbstractFileSystem.open All defaults are preserved, except mode, which is set to wb when saving.

  • metadata (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    Any arbitrary metadata. This is ignored by Kedro, but may be consumed by users or external plugins.
