# Add Dataset Add a new dataset loader to AReaL. ## When to Use This skill is triggered when: - User asks "how do I add a dataset?" - User wants to integrate a new dataset - User mentions creating a dataset loader ## Step-by-Step Guide ### Step 1: Create Dataset File Create `areal/dataset/<name>.py`: ```python from datasets import Dataset, load_dataset def get_<name>_sft_dataset( path: str, split: str, tokenizer, max_length: int | None = None, ) -> Dataset: """Load dataset for SFT training. Args: path: Path to dataset (HuggingFace hub or local path) split: Dataset split (train/validation/test) tokenizer: Tokenizer for processing max_length: Maximum sequence length (optional) Returns: HuggingFace Dataset with processed samples """ dataset = load_dataset(path=path, split=split) def process(sample): # Tokenize the full sequence (prompt + response) seq_token = tokenizer.encode( sample["question"] + sample["answer"] + tokenizer.eos_token ) prompt_token = tokenizer.encode(sample["question"]) # Loss mask: 0 for prompt, 1 for response loss_mask = [0] * len(prompt_token) + [1] * (len(seq_token) - len(prompt_token)) return {"input_ids": seq_token, "loss_mask": loss_mask} dataset = dataset.map(process).remove_columns(["question", "answer"]) if max_length is not None: dataset = dataset.filter(lambda x: len(x["input_ids"]) <= max_length) return dataset def get_<name>_rl_dataset( path: str, split: str, tokenizer, max_length: int | None = None, ) -> Dataset: """Load dataset for RL training. Args: path: Path to dataset split: Dataset split tokenizer: Tokenizer for length filtering max_length: Maximum sequence length Returns: HuggingFace Dataset with prompts and answers for reward computation """ dataset = load_dataset(path=path, split=split) def process(sample): messages = [ { "role": "user", "content": sample["question"], } ] return {"messages": messages, "answer": sample["answer"]} dataset = dataset.map(process).remove_columns(["question"]) if max_length is not None: def filter_length(sample): content = sample["messages"][0]["content"] tokens = tokenizer.encode(content) return len(tokens) <= max_length dataset = dataset.filter(filter_length) return dataset ``` ### Step 2: Register in __init__.py Update `areal/dataset/__init__.py`: ```python # Add to VALID_DATASETS VALID_DATASETS = [ # ... existing datasets "<name>", ] # Add to _get_custom_dataset function def _get_custom_dataset(name: str, ...): # ... existing code elif name == "<name>": from areal.dataset.<name> import get_<name>_sft_dataset, get_<name>_rl_dataset if dataset_type == "sft": return get_<name>_sft_dataset(path, split, max_length, tokenizer) else: return get_<name>_rl_dataset(path, split, max_length, tokenizer) ``` ### Step 3: Add Config (Optional) If the dataset needs special configuration, add to `areal/api/cli_args.py`: ```python @dataclass class TrainDatasetConfig: # ... existing fields <name>_specific_field: Optional[str] = None ``` ### Step 4: Add Tests Create `tests/test_<name>_dataset.py`: ```python import pytest from areal.dataset.<name> import get_<name>_sft_dataset, get_<name>_rl_dataset def test_sft_dataset_loads(tokenizer): dataset = get_<name>_sft_dataset("path/to/data", split="train", tokenizer=tokenizer) assert len(dataset) > 0 assert "input_ids" in dataset.column_names assert "loss_mask" in dataset.column_names def test_rl_dataset_loads(tokenizer): dataset = get_<name>_rl_dataset("path/to/data", split="train", tokenizer=tokenizer) assert len(dataset) > 0 assert "messages" in dataset.column_names assert "answer" in dataset.column_names ``` ## Reference Implementations | Dataset | File | Description | | ---------- | ---------------------------------- | ------------------------ | | GSM8K | `areal/dataset/gsm8k.py` | Math word problems | | Geometry3K | `areal/dataset/geometry3k.py` | Geometry problems | | CLEVR | `areal/dataset/clevr_count_70k.py` | Visual counting | | HH-RLHF | `areal/dataset/hhrlhf.py` | Helpfulness/Harmlessness | | TORL | `areal/dataset/torl_data.py` | Tool-use RL | ## Required Fields ### SFT Dataset ```python { "messages": [ {"role": "user", "content": "..."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "..."}, ] } ``` ### RL Dataset ```python { "messages": [ {"role": "user", "content": "..."}, ], "answer": "ground_truth_for_reward", # Optional metadata for reward function } ``` ## Common Mistakes - Returning `List[Dict]` instead of HuggingFace `Dataset` - Using Python loops instead of `dataset.map()`/`filter()` - Missing `"messages"` field for RL datasets - Wrong message format (should be list of dicts with `role` and `content`) - Not registering in `__init__.py` ______________________________________________________________________ <!-- ================================================================================ MAINTAINER GUIDE ================================================================================ Location: .opencode/skills/add-dataset/SKILL.md Invocation: /add-dataset <name> ## Purpose Step-by-step guide for adding new dataset loaders. ## How to Update ### When Dataset API Changes 1.
