hasdata

Determine if minibatchqueue can return mini-batch

Syntax

tf = hasdata(mbq)

Description

tf = hasdata(mbq) returns 1 (true) if mbq can return a mini-batch using the next function, and 0 (false) otherwise.

Use hasdata in combination with next to iterate over all data in the minibatchqueue object. You can call next on a minibatchqueue object until all data is returned. If mini-batches of data are still available in the minibatchqueue object, hasdata returns 1. When you reach the end of the data, hasdata returns 0. Then, use reset or shuffle to reset the minibatchqueue object and continue obtaining mini-batches with next.

Examples

Iterate Over All Mini-Batches

Use hasdata with a while loop to iterate over all data in the minibatchqueue object.

Create a minibatchqueue object from a datastore.

ds = digitDatastore;
mbq = minibatchqueue(ds,MiniBatchSize=256)

mbq = 
minibatchqueue with 1 output and properties:

   Mini-batch creation:
               MiniBatchSize: 256
            PartialMiniBatch: 'return'
                MiniBatchFcn: 'collate'
    PreprocessingEnvironment: 'serial'

   Outputs:
                  OutputCast: {'single'}
             OutputAsDlarray: 1
             MiniBatchFormat: {''}
           OutputEnvironment: {'auto'}

While data is still available in the minibatchqueue object, obtain the next mini-batch.

while hasdata(mbq)
    X = next(mbq)
end

The loop ends when hasdata returns false, and all mini-batches are returned.

Input Arguments

mbq — Mini-batch queue

minibatchqueue object

Mini-batch queue, specified as a minibatchqueue object.

Output Arguments

tf — True or false result

1 | 0

True or false result, returned as a 1 or 0 of data type logical.
