The datasets.map() function provides several useful parameters for data processing:
  • num_proc - Enables parallel processing using
    python multiprocessing
    , which can significantly speed up the mapping operation by distributing work across multiple CPU cores
  • remove_columns - Accepts a list of column names to remove from the dataset after the mapping function is applied, helping to reduce memory usage and keep only relevant columns
