cleanlab-studio
Command line and Python library interface to Cleanlab Studio. Analyze datasets and produce cleansets (cleaned datasets) with Cleanlab Studio in a single line of code!
Installation
You can install the Cleanlab Studio client from PyPI with:
pip install cleanlab-studio
If you already have the client installed and wish to upgrade to the latest version, run:
pip install --upgrade cleanlab-studio
Quickstart
Python API -- run Cleanlab Studio from Python or Jupyter Notebook
from cleanlab_studio import Studio
studio = Studio(<your api key>)
dataset_id: str = studio.upload_dataset(<your dataset>, <your dataset name>)
cleanset = studio.download_cleanlab_columns(<your cleanset id>)
corrected_dataset = studio.apply_corrections(<your cleanset id>, <your dataset>)
The Python API offers significantly more functionality than is available in the Cleanlab Studio Web Application. Learn more via the tutorials and quickstart guide.
CLI -- run Cleanlab Studio from your command line
- If this is your first time using the Cleanlab CLI, authenticate with
cleanlab login
. You can find your API key at https://app.cleanlab.ai/account. - Upload your dataset (image, text, or tabular) using
cleanlab dataset upload
. - Create a project in Cleanlab Studio.
- Improve your dataset in Cleanlab Studio (e.g., correct some labels).
- Download your cleanset with
cleanlab cleanset download
.
Learn more about the Cleanlab Studio CLI from the quickstart guide.

Information on how to format your dataset can be found by clicking the tutorial on https://app.cleanlab.ai/upload or in the Datasets concept guide. We also provide tutorials for converting certain common Python image or text datasets.
Advanced Usage
Schema
Python API
All schema information will be inferred by default when uploading a dataset through the Python API. We provide some options to override the inferred schema if necessary:
- To override the dataset modality, supply a
modality
kwarg to studio.upload_dataset()
. Supported modalities include "text", "tabular", and "image" - To override the ID column, supply an
id_column
kwarg to studio.upload_dataset()
- To override column types in your dataset, supply a
schema_overrides
kwarg to studio.upload_dataset()
in the following format:
{
<name_of_column_to_override>: {
"data_type": <desired_data_type>,
"feature_type": <desired_feature_type>,
},
...
}
CLI
To specify the column types in your dataset, create a JSON file named schema.json
. If you would like to edit an inferred schema (rather than starting from scratch) follow these steps:
- Kick off a dataset upload using:
cleanlab dataset upload
- Once schema generation is complete, you'll be asked whether you'd like to use our inferred schema. Enter
n
to decline - You'll then be asked whether you'd like to save the inferred schema. Enter
y
to accept. Then enter the filename you'd like to save to (schema.json
by default) - Edit the schema file as you wish
- Kick off a dataset upload again using:
cleanlab dataset upload --schema_path [path to schema file]
Your schema file should be formatted as follows:
{
"metadata": {
"id_column": "tweet_id",
"modality": "text",
"name": "Tweets.csv"
},
"fields": {
"tweet_id": {
"data_type": "string",
"feature_type": "identifier"
},
"sentiment": {
"data_type": "string",
"feature_type": "categorical"
},
"sentiment_confidence": {
"data_type": "float",
"feature_type": "numeric"
},
"retweet_count": {
"data_type": "integer",
"feature_type": "numeric"
},
"text": {
"data_type": "string",
"feature_type": "text"
},
"tweet_created": {
"data_type": "boolean",
"feature_type": "boolean"
},
"tweet_created": {
"data_type": "string",
"feature_type": "datetime"
}
},
"version": "0.1.12"
}
This is the schema of a hypothetical dataset Tweets.csv
that contains tweets, where the column tweet_id
contains a
unique identifier for each record. Each column in the dataset is specified under fields
with its data type and feature
type.
Data types and Feature types
Data type refers to the type of the field's values: string, integer, float, or boolean.
Note that the integer type is partially strict, meaning floats that are equal to integers (e.g. 1.0
, 2.0
, etc)
will be accepted, but floats like 0.8
and 1.5
will not. In contrast, the float type is lenient, meaning integers
are accepted. Users should select the float type if the field may include float values. Note too that integers can have
categorical and identifier feature types, whereas floats cannot.
For booleans, the list of accepted values are: true/false, t/f, yes/no, 1/0, 1.0/0.0.
Feature type refers to the secondary type of the field, relating to how it is used in a machine learning model, such
as whether it is:
- a categorical value
- a numeric value
- a datetime value
- a boolean value
- text
- an identifier — a string / integer that identifies some entity
- a filepath value (only valid for image datasets)
Some feature types can only correspond to specific data types. The list of possible feature types for each data type is
shown below
Data type | Feature type |
---|
string | text, categorical, datetime, identifier, filepath |
integer | categorical, datetime, identifier, numeric |
float | datetime, numeric |
boolean | boolean |
The datetime
type should be used for datetime strings, e.g. "2015-02-24 11:35:52 -0800", and Unix timestamps (which
will be integers or floats). Datetime values must be parseable
by polars.from_epoch for integer/floats or polars.Expr.str.strptime for strings.
version
indicates the version of the Cleanlab CLI package version used to generate the schema.
