I know that we can use dataset = load\_dataset(‘imagefolder’,data\_dir=‘/home/’ ) to load images with captions in meta.jsonl. So how to use different jsonl files?

I mean, I want to use meta\_set1.json for one experiment and use meta\_set2.json for another experiment, but they all use the same data\_dir. In other words, how can I define the meta.json file in ‘imagefolder’ setup?

Thanks!

The `imagefolder`’s metadata file has to named `metadata.jsonl` (or `metadata.csv`), so renaming them between runs is currently the only option.
