+# Own Dataset Example with the PyTorch C++ Frontend
+
+This folder contains an example of making an origianl image dataset to training classification model using PyTorch C++ frontend.
+
+The entire dataset code is contained in dataset.cpp
+
+To build the code, run the following commands from your terminal.
+
+```bash
+$ cd own_dataset
+$ mkdir build
+$ cd build
+$ cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/libtorch ..
+$ make
+```
+
+where /path/to/libtorch should be the path to the unzipped LibTorch distribution, which you can get from the [PyTorch homepage](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/).
+
+Execute the compiled binary to test own dataset:
+
+```bash
+$ ./dataset ../test_data/ ../test_data/labels.txt
+input dim: 4
+target:  1
+[ Variable[CPUByteType]{1} ]
+```
+
+The ```test_data``` directory has the following structure.
+
+```bash
+$ tree ../test_data/
+../test_data/
+|-- images
+|   |-- image1.jpg
+|   |-- image2.jpg
+|   `-- image3.jpg
+`-- labels.txt
+
+1 directory, 4 files
+```
+
+The contents of the ```labels.txt``` have the following format.
+
+```bash
+$ cat ../test_data/labels.txt
+image1.jpg,0
+image2.jpg,0
+image3.jpg,1
+```
