Can someone point me to a tutorial, documentation/API, where I could see how to load my own data into a DataSet format so that I can use it for a text-classification task?

I’ve looked in tutorials and examples, but it’s always with an already prepared/baked standard dataset from the `datasets` package.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there! 🙂

The [Local and remote files](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/loading#local-and-remote-files) section of the documentation should help, depending on your data file format. For example, if you have just one `csv` file you can do:

```auto
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset('csv', data_files='my_file.csv')

```
