search_collection: Search Collection Catalog

In torchvision: Models, Datasets and Transformations for Images

Search Collection Catalog

Description

Search through all Collection datasets by keywords in name or description, or filter by collection. This makes it easy to discover datasets relevant to your task without browsing each collection individually.

Usage

search_collection(keyword = NULL, collection = NULL)

Arguments

keyword	Character string to search for (case-insensitive). Searches in both dataset names and descriptions. If NULL, returns all datasets (optionally filtered by collection).
collection	Filter by collection name. One of: "biology", "medical", "infrared", "damage", "underwater", "document". If NULL, searches all collections.

Value

A data frame with matching datasets and their metadata. Returns NULL invisibly if no matches are found.
