Dear suport, could you help me in how can i retrieve some files by making some filters to the dataset using their metadata? Ex. DataSet: id dialect age genre clips sintaxTags phonemes utt … 0 min 50 m 16 … 1 nord 35 f 35 … 2 min 36 f 24 … 3 min 20 m 2 … 4 rio 24 m 60 … query = select \* dataset where dialect==‘min’ & clips \< 30 data = train(query) ---

@c.cuadros it is an interesting scenario. We do not support such filters right now but designing a new labeling solution for cases like this. It would be great to know more about your use case. It can help us to build a better labeling solution. Please let me know if you have time for a quick chat. My email - my first name @dvc.org. My first name is the same as login.
