The Iris dataset is one of the most popular datasets used for demonstrating simple classification models. This dataset was copied and transformed from scikit-learn/iris to be more native to huggingface.
Some changes were made to the dataset to save the user from extra lines of data transformation code, notably:
removed id column
species column is casted to ClassLabel (supports ClassLabel.int2str() and ClassLabel.str2int())
cast feature columns from float64 down to float32… See the full description on the dataset page:
