 ## Dataset
 
-Dataset, as we assume here, is a list of examples. You can get its length by `len(dataset)`(which means it length is known, and we have to implement `__len__()` method for it). And you can access its items randomly by `dataset[i]`(which means we have to implement `__getitem__()` method for it). Furthermore,  you can iterate over it by `iter(dataset)` or `for example in dataset`, which means we have to implement `__iter__()` method for it.

You can iterate it by `iter(datacargo)` or `for batch in datacargo`. `DataCargo` is an iterable object but not an iterator, in that in can be iterated more than once.

 In the code above, processing of the data and training of the model run in the same process. So the next batch starts to load after the training of the current batch has finished.

+Deep learning experiments have many options to configure. These configurations can be roughly grouped into different types: configurations about path of the dataset and path to save results, configurations about how to process data, configurations about the model and configurations about the training process.
 
 Some configurations tend to change when running the code at different times, for example, path of the data and path to save results and whether to load model before training, etc. For these configurations, it's better to define them as command line arguments. We use `argparse` to handle them.
