Question

Good morning. To start, thank you for having this space. Since I am new to this topic of loading data sets. I have the necessary information to upload my data set, but I am failing to configure my custom.yaml. Can you guide me on how to write this configuration, knowing that I have a data folder, within data are other folders images and labeling, but when loading the system tells me that the uploaded yaml is not correct. With Gratitude Omar

Good morning. Your answer is very global for what I need. Could you be more specific with an example of how the coco.yaml file should be written, since what you show me with videos is very general and assumes that you already know how to configure a coco file .yaml. You just want to explain this, so as not to waste my time and search elsewhere. Regards @github-actions

@Geointeligente Typically you will see that error when your YAML file can not be validated due to formatting issues. YAML is very sensitive to formatting.

You can test your YAML file online with the many available linters, here is an example:

If you are able to validate your YAML please reply with the YAML contents and the dataset tree so I can help you further.

Thanks for your help @kalenmike. I have pasted the custom.yaml, and it tells me that it is fine. I am trying to create a dataset of house roofs, in which there is only one category, but I don't know what could be wrong, if I have my images with their respective labels.

@kalenmike While your YAML is valid syntax, it is not correct for YOLO. Your names key is creating a dictionary that contains an array.

You can see an example dataset here.

What you need to do is remove the array inside names, it should look like this:

names:
    0: techo
