When I went to my directory to see if the files were downloaded, the folder was blank. Here is the error below: ValueError Traceback (most recent call last) Input In [8], in \() 1 from datasets import load\_dataset ----\> 3 dataset = load\_dataset(“TheNoob3131/mosquito-data”, split=“train”) File ~\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\datasets\load.py:1679, in load\_dataset(path, name, data\_dir, data\_files, split, cache\_dir, features, download\_config, download\_mode, ignore\_verifications, keep\_in\_memory, save\_infos, revision, use\_auth\_token, task, streaming, \*\*config\_kwargs) 1676 try\_from\_hf\_gcs = path not in \_PACKAGED\_DATASETS\_MODULES 1678 # Download and prepare data → 1679 builder\_instance.download\_and\_prepare( 1680 download\_config=download\_config, 1681 download\_mode=download\_mode, 1682 ignore\_verifications=ignore\_verifications, 1683 try\_from\_hf\_gcs=try\_from\_hf\_gcs, 1684 use\_auth\_token=use\_auth\_token, 1685 ) 1687 # Build dataset for splits 1688 keep\_in\_memory = ( 1689 keep\_in\_memory if keep\_in\_memory is not None else is\_small\_dataset(builder\_instance.info.dataset\_size) 1690 ) Is the dataset in the wrong format or is there some security permission that I should enable? ---

Seems like you got some malformed rows as explained here: [TheNoob3131/mosquito-data · Dataset is not loading](https://huggingface.co/datasets/TheNoob3131/mosquito-data/discussions/1#62d7adbd63583ad7bf1d00c8)
