HAM10000 dataset

What is HAM10000 Dataset?

The Human Against Machine with 10000 training images (HAM10000) dataset includes 10000 training images for detecting pigmented skin lesions. The images in the dataset were collected from different populations, acquired, and stored by different modalities. Cases included in the dataset include a representative collection of all important diagnostic categories in the realm of pigmented lesions. More than half of the lesions in the dataset are confirmed through histopathology, the ground truth for the rest of the cases is either follow-up examination, expert consensus, or confirmation by in-vivo confocal microscopy. The dataset includes lesions with multiple images.

Download HAM10000 Dataset in Python

How to use HAM10000 Dataset with PyTorch and TensorFlow in Python

Train a model on HAM10000 dataset with PyTorch in Python

Let’s use Deep Lake built-in PyTorch one-line dataloader to connect the data to the compute:

				
					dataloader = ds.pytorch(num_workers=0, batch_size=4, shuffle=False)

Train a model on the HAM10000 dataset with TensorFlow in Python

				
					dataloader = ds.tensorflow()
