Summary

Wrote a data-prep pipeline for a small text classification model. Loads Parquet from S3 (LocalStack in dev), deduplicates, tokenizes with the tiktoken cl100k_base encoder, and writes training shards in HuggingFace datasets format.

I need a data pipeline that takes our Parquet files and produces train/val shards suitable for a small BERT fine-tune.

Turn 1 — Assistant

I'll structure it as four stages:

  1. Loadpyarrow.parquet.read_table over an S3 prefix
  2. Dedupe — exact-match hash on (text, label)
  3. Tokenizetiktoken cl100k_base; batch in chunks of 1024 for throughput
  4. Shard — 80/20 stratified split, write via datasets.Dataset.save_to_disk

The stages will be composable so we can run any subset (e.g. just re-tokenize without re-loading).

Turn 2 — User

Write it.

Turn 2 — Assistant

Done. Each stage is a function in pipeline/stages/. There's a top-level pipeline.run() that reads a config.yaml and dispatches. Local test on 10k rows runs in 3.2s end to end.

Tools used in this turn: - Write: pipeline/stages/load.py (5-line preview) - Write: pipeline/stages/dedupe.py (5-line preview) - Write: pipeline/stages/tokenize.py (5-line preview) - Write: pipeline/stages/shard.py (5-line preview) - Bash: python -m pipeline --config configs/dev.yaml — exit 0
