Dataset Card for CINIC-10

CINIC-10 has a total of 270,000 images equally split amongst three subsets: train, validate, and test. This means that CINIC-10 has 4.5 times as many samples than CIFAR-10.

Dataset Details

In each subset (90,000 images), there are ten classes (identical to CIFAR-10 classes). There are 9000 images per class per subset. Using the suggested data split (an equal three-way split), CINIC-10 has 1.8 times as many training samples as in CIFAR-10. CINIC-10 is designed to be directly swappable with CIFAR-10.

Use in FL

In order to prepare the dataset for the FL settings, we recommend using Flower Dataset (flwr-datasets) for the dataset download and partitioning and Flower (flwr) for conducting FL experiments.

To partition the dataset, do the following.

1. Install the package.

pip install flwr-datasets[vision]

2. Use the HF Dataset under the hood in Flower Datasets.

from flwr_datasets import FederatedDataset
from flwr_datasets.partitioner import IidPartitioner

fds = FederatedDataset(
    dataset="flwrlabs/cinic10",
    partitioners={"train": IidPartitioner(num_partitions=10)}
)
partition = fds.load_partition(partition_id=0)
