FastAI deals with pandas datadrames “you can check pandas python library”
The way you can read your csv file and use it within FastAI is to first read it as a pandas dataframe. This can be done using the function:
‘’’
import pandas as pd
pd.read_csv(“PATH/TO/YOUR/FILE”)
‘’’
You can read more about pandas.read_csv() from their documentation

fastai is using pandas.read_csv() to load .csv files. The latter tries to parse the file automatically, which mostly succeeds, but can fail, if you have a special format. A couple of things to try:

  • Check the exact details of your file. E.g. what separator are you using? For some reason fastai uses a fixed separator cat_separator=" ". If yours happens to use commas or so, then loading will fail or produce funny results. If you run into such a case, you can either a) rewrite your csv file to suit fastai’s preferences (using pandas) or b) overwrite part of the ImageClassifierData.from_csv() to pass more command line arguments, such as the separator.
  • Check the docstring of pd.read_csv(), which could give you more details on what parameters to set.
