CNTK Text format Converters

Two Python Scripts for converting Data to CNTK Text format for using as an input for CNTK Text Format Reader (see https://github.com/microsoft/cnTK/wiki/CNTKTextFormat-Reader).

txt2ctf.py 

Converts a set of dictionary files and a plain text file to CNTK Text format. Run python txt2ctf.py -h to see usage instructions. See the comments in the beginning of the script file for the specific usage example.

uci2ctf.py

Converts data stored in a text file in UCI format to CNTK Text format. Run python uci2ctf.py -h to see usage instructions and example. Also see a usage example below:

python Scripts/uci2ctf.py --input_file Examples/Image/MNIST/Data/Train-28x28.txt --features_start 1 --features_dim 784 --labels_start 0 --labels_dim 1 --num_labels 10  --output_file Examples/Image/MNIST/Data/Train-28x28_cntk_text.txt

input_file – original dataset in the (columnar) UCI format features_start – index of the first feature column (start parameter in the UCIFastReader config, see https://github.com/Microsoft/CNTK/wiki/UCI-Fast-Reader) features_dim – number of feature columns (dim parameter in the UCIFastReader config) labels_start - index of the first label column labels_dim – number of label columns num_labels – number of possible label values (labelDim parameter in the UCIFastReader config) output_file – path and filename of the resulting dataset.
