Split a dataset created by Tensorflow dataset API in to Train and Test?

Question

Does anyone know how to split a dataset created by the dataset API (tf.data.Dataset) in Tensorflow into Test and Train?

Answer 1

You can use shard:

dataset = dataset.shuffle()  # optional
trainset = dataset.shard(2, 0)
testset = dataset.shard(2, 1)
