10 Dataset Limits

Before creating your dataset you should consider the following limitations:

• Fields: there is no enforced limit to the number of fields that can be present in a dataset.

• Instances: there is no enforced limit to the number of instances that can be present in a dataset.

• Classes: a maximum number of 1,000 distinct classes per field is allowed.

• Terms: BigML can handle up to 1,000 terms total. If multiple text fields are defined, then the term limit per field is divided by the number of text fields, , e.g., a dataset with two text fields would result in 500 terms per text field. BigML selects those terms with most significant frequency, discarding both those that appear either too often or too infrequently. A maximum of 256 characters per term is allowed.

• Items: a maximum of 10,000 items per field is allowed.

If you need to exceed these limits, please contact the Support Team at BigMLand request your BigML Private Deployment.
