TFDS Manual Loading of Celeb A Dataset

Workaround for failing TFDS library for loading the public dataset, Celeb A. As of Dec-3 2021, the TFDS Celeb A dataset gives an wrong checksum error when trying to use tfds.load("celeb_a") and this library is a workaround using a mirror of the img_align_celeba dataset on S3.

Usage

You can use this from within Colab using the following methods:

!pip install git+https://github.com/yarri-oss/celeba_backup.git
!pip install tfds_nightly

import tensorflow as tf
tf.__version__    # should be 2.7.0

import tensorflow_datasets as tfds
import celeba_backup
ds = tfds.load('celeba_backup', split='train')
