Issue: method to select columns
State: closed
Author: cccntu

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**

* There is currently no way to select some columns of a dataset. In pandas, one can use `df[['col1', 'col2']]` to select columns, but in `datasets`, it results in error.

**Describe the solution you'd like**

* A new method that can be used to create a new dataset with only a list of specified columns.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**

`.remove_columns(self, columns: Union[str, List[str]], inverse: bool = False)`
Or 
`.select(self,  indices: Iterable = None, columns: List[str] = None)`

Issue: Loading dataset throws "KeyError: 'Field "builder_name" does not exist in table schema'"
State: closed
Author: R4ZZ3

## Describe the bug
I have prepared dataset to datasets and now I am trying to load it back Finnish-NLP/voxpopuli_fi
I get "KeyError: 'Field "builder_name" does not exist in table schema'"

My dataset folder and files should be like @patrickvonplaten  has here https://huggingface.co/datasets/flax-community/german-common-voice-processed

How my voxpopuli dataset looks like:
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/25264037/144895598-b7d9ae91-b04a-4046-9f06-b71ff0824d13.png)

Part of the processing (path column is the absolute path to audio files)
```
def add_audio_column(example):
    example['audio'] = example['path']
    return example

voxpopuli = voxpopuli.map(add_audio_column)
voxpopuli.cast_column("audio", Audio())
voxpopuli["audio"] <-- to my knowledge this does load the local files and prepares those arrays
voxpopuli = voxpopuli.cast_column("audio", Audio(sampling_rate=16_000)) resampling 16kHz
```

I have then saved it to disk_
`voxpopuli.save_to_disk('/asr_disk/datasets_processed_new/voxpopuli')`

and made folder structure same as @patrickvonplaten 
I also get same error while trying to load_dataset from his repo:
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/25264037/144895872-e9b8f326-cf2b-46cf-9417-606a0ce14077.png)


## Steps to reproduce the bug
```python
dataset = load_dataset("Finnish-NLP/voxpopuli_fi")
```

## Expected results
Dataset is loaded correctly and looks like in the first picture

## Actual results
Loading throws keyError:
KeyError: 'Field "builder_name" does not exist in table schema'


Resources I have been trying to follow:
https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/audio_process.html

Issue: Fix flaky test of the temporary directory used by load_from_disk

The test is flaky, here is an example of random CI failure:
https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/commit/73ed6615b4b3eb74d5311684f7b9e05cdb76c989

Create Language Modeling task to be able to specify the input "text" column in a dataset.

This can be useful for datasets which are not exclusively used for language modeling and have more than one column:
- for text classification datasets (with columns "review" and "rating", for example), the Language Modeling task can be used to specify the "text" column ("review" in this case).

Add typing overloads to Dataset.__getitem__ for mypy

Fixes #3337 

**Iterable**
Iterable from `collections` cannot have a type, so you can't do `Iterable[int]` for example. `typing` has a Generic version that builds upon the one from `collections`.

**Flake8**
I had to add `# noqa: F811`, this is a bug from Flake8.

datasets uses flake8==3.7.9 which released in October 2019 if I update flake8 (4.0.1), I no longer get these errors, but I did not want to make the update without your approval. (It also triggers other errors like no args in f-strings.)

Comments:
Locally the `make quality` passes with the same dependencies. I would suggest upgrading flake8. (I can take care of it in another PR)

Thank you for fixing flake8! I think we are ready to merge then.

Issue: Support streaming zipped dataset repo by passing only repo name
State: closed
Author: albertvillanova

Proposed solution:
- I have added the method `iter_files` to DownloadManager and StreamingDownloadManager
- I use this in modules: "csv", "json", "text"
- I test for CSV/JSONL/TXT zipped (and non-zipped) files, both in streaming and non-streaming modes

Fix #3373.

Comments:
I just tested and I think this only opens one file ? If there are several files in the ZIP, only the first one is opened. To open several files from a ZIP, one has to call `open` several times.

What about updating the CSV loader to make it `download_and_extract` zip files, and open each extracted file ?

I have implemented the  glob of ZIP files in the packaged modules:
- csv
- json
- text

Also for streaming and non-streaming.

In https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/pull/3375/commits/c10275fe36085601cb7bdb9daee9a8f1fc734f48, there were 3 failing tests, only on Linux:

The test `tests/test_streaming_download_manager.py::test_streaming_gg_drive_zipped` passes locally.

I guess the issue is caused by those tests and has nothing to do with this PR.

@lhoestq my final proposed solution:
- I have added the method `iter_files` to DownloadManager and StreamingDownloadManager
- I use this in modules: "csv", "json", "text"
- I test for CSV/JSONL/TXT zipped (and non-zipped) files, both in streaming and non-streaming modes

> Note that at one point we might consider switching to using `iter_archive` for ZIP files in the json/text/csv loaders since it should be faster.

As far as the functionality is kept... ;)

Issue: Support streaming zipped CSV dataset repo by passing only repo name

Author: albertvillanova

Given a community 🤗 dataset repository containing only a zipped CSV file (only raw data, no loading script), I would like to load it in streaming mode without passing `data_files`:

ds = load_dataset(ds_name, split="train", streaming=True, use_auth_token=True)
item = next(iter(ds))

Issue: [SEO improvement] Add Dataset Metadata to make datasets indexable
State: closed
Author: cakiki

Some people who host datasets on github seem to include a table of metadata at the end of their README.md to make the dataset indexable by [Google Dataset Search](https://datasetsearch.research.google.com/) (See [here](https://github.com/google-research/google-research/tree/master/goemotions#dataset-metadata) and [here](https://github.com/cvdfoundation/google-landmark#dataset-metadata)). This could be a useful addition to canonical datasets; perhaps even community datasets.

I'll include a screenshot (as opposed to markdown) as an example so as not to have a github issue indexed as a dataset:

Issue: New: Americas NLI dataset
State: closed
Author: fdschmidt93

This PR adds the [Americas NLI](https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.08726) dataset, extension of XNLI to 10 low-resource indigenous languages spoken in the Americas: Ashaninka, Aymara, Bribri, Guarani, Nahuatl, Otomi, Quechua, Raramuri, Shipibo-Konibo, and Wixarika.

One odd thing (not sure) is that I had to set

`datasets-cli dummy_data ./datasets/americas_nli/ --auto_generate --n_lines 7500`

`n_lines` very large to successfully generate the dummy files for all the subsets. Happy to get some guidance here.

Otherwise, I hope everything is in order :)

e: missed a step, onto fixing the tests
e2: there you go -- hope it's ok to have added more languages with their ISO codes to `languages.json`, need those tests to pass :laughing:

Issue: [Audio] Allow resampling for audio datasets in streaming mode
State: closed
Author: patrickvonplaten

Many audio datasets like Common Voice always need to be resampled. This can very easily be done in non-streaming mode as follows:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("common_voice", "ab", split="test")

ds = ds.cast_column("audio", Audio(sampling_rate=16_000))
```

However in streaming mode it fails currently:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("common_voice", "ab", split="test", streaming=True)

ds = ds.cast_column("audio", Audio(sampling_rate=16_000))
```

with the following error:

```
AttributeError: 'IterableDataset' object has no attribute 'cast_column'  
```

It would be great if we could add such a feature (I'm not 100% sure though how complex this would be)

Comments:
This requires implementing `cast_column` for iterable datasets, it could be a very nice addition !


It can also be useful to be able to disable the audio/image decoding for the dataset viewer (see PR https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/pull/3430) cc @severo 

EDIT: actually following https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/issues/3145 the dataset viewer might not need it anymore

Just to clarify a bit. This feature is **always** needed when using the common voice dataset in streaming mode. So I think it's quite important

Issue: Use the Audio feature in the AutomaticSpeechRecognition template
State: closed
Author: anton-l

This updates the ASR template and all supported datasets to use the `Audio` feature

Comments:
Cool !

I noticed that you removed the `audio_file_path_column` field of the template, note that you also have to update all the dataset_infos.json file that still contain this outdated field. For example in the common_voice you can find this:
```
"task_templates": [{"task": "automatic-speech-recognition", "audio_file_path_column": "path", "transcription_column": "sentence"}]
```

Yes, will do that. I'm just busy with the bigscience task.

Issue: Add The Pile Free Law subset

Close bigscience-workshop/data_tooling#75.

CC: @StellaAthena

Comments:
@albertvillanova Is there a specific reason you’re adding the Pile under “the” instead of under “pile”? That does not appear to be consistent with other datasets.

Hi @StellaAthena,

I asked myself the same question, but at the end I decided to be consistent with previously added Pile subsets:
- #2817

I guess the reason is to stress that the definite article is always used before the name of the dataset (your site says: "The Pile. An 800GB Dataset of Diverse Text for Language Modeling"). Other datasets are not usually preceded by the definite article, like "the SQuAD" or "the GLUE" or "the Common Voice"...

Issue: to_tf_dataset() refactor
State: closed
Author: Rocketknight1

This is the promised cleanup to `to_tf_dataset()` now that the course is out of the way! The main changes are:

- A collator is always required (there was way too much hackiness making things like labels work without it)
- Lots of cleanup and a lot of code moved to `_get_output_signature`
- Should now handle it gracefully when the data collator adds unexpected columns

Comments:
Also, please don't merge yet - I need to make sure all the code samples and notebooks have a collate_fn specified, since we're removing the ability for this method to work without one!

Hi @lhoestq @mariosasko, the other PRs this was depending on in Transformers and huggingface/notebooks are now merged, so this is ready to go. Do you want to take one more look at it, or are you happy at this point?

The documentation for the method is fine, it doesn't need to be changed, but the tutorial notebook definitely looks a little out of date. Let me see what I can do!

@lhoestq I rewrote the last bit of the notebook - let me know what you think!

Cool thank you ! It's much nicer that what we had :)

I also spotted other things I'd like to update in the notebook (especially the beginning) but it can be fixed later
