Navigate: Data Prep > Sample
The sample tool allows you to create a random smaller subset of your dataset for testing and experimentation. This can be useful to randomly select a proportion of a dataset to manually label and compare to LLM results to check reliability. Additionally, it can be used to create a smaller dataset to experiment with LLM tools before scaling up to the full dataset.
- Select Dataset: Choose the dataset you want to sample from (accepted file types: csv, tsv, Excel, and Parquet)
- Select the Sampling Method: By rows will return the exact number of rows specified, while by percent will return the closest whole number of rows based on the proportion specified.
- Hit Ok: You will be prompted to save the sampled dataset as a csv. The default name is the original dataset name appended with "_sample".
