TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not dict

### Describe the bug

my dataset is in form : train- image /n -labels

and tried the code:
```
from datasets import load_dataset

data_files = {
    "train": "/content/datasets/PotholeDetectionYOLOv8-1/train/",
      "validation": "/content/datasets/PotholeDetectionYOLOv8-1/valid/",
      "test": "/content/datasets/PotholeDetectionYOLOv8-1/test/"
}
dataset = load_dataset("imagefolder", data_dir=data_files)
dataset
```
got error:
```

### Steps to reproduce the bug

as share above 

### Expected behavior

load images and labels , but my dataset only uploads images

### Environment info

colab pro 

Comments:
You should be able to load the images by modifying the `load_dataset` call like this:
```python
dataset = load_dataset("imagefolder", data_dir="/content/datasets/PotholeDetectionYOLOv8-1")
```

The `imagefolder` builder expects the image files to be in `path/label/image_file` (e.g. .`.../train/dog/image_1.jpg`), so the solution for the labels in your case is to create metadata files (one for each split; as explained [here](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/image_dataset#imagefolder)) that map the images to their labels.

I tried like this but only uploads images and not labels, Andyrasika/potholes-dataset

As explained in my previous comment, you need to define metadata files to load the labels or update the paths to be in the format `train/label/image` (`train- image /n -labels` is not supported by the loader).

I downloaded my file after annotating using roboflow . It gives train-
images, labels ,  test- images, labels , valid- images, labels . I hope it
gives you an idea of the dataset . Please advise on this dataset
