Add new column to dataset
I think it's an issue with the code.

Specifically:
```python
dataset = dataset['train'].add_column("/workspace/data", new_column)
```

Now `dataset` is the train set with a new column. 
To fix this, you can do:

```python
dataset['train'] = dataset['train'].add_column("/workspace/data", new_column)
``` > I think it's an issue with the code.

Thanks for your response, but i can not access mask images, please let me know why the problem still persists. Here is the notebook for reference: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/10lZ_zLtU4itYVmIVTvIEVbjfOtCZaAZy?usp=sharing  I think there is a slight misunderstanding.
```python
new_column = ["mask"] * len(dataset["train"])
dataset['train'] = dataset['train'].add_column("/workspace/data", new_column)
```

adds a column with the string `mask` to your dataset.
If you're trying to load the images `"mask_{idx}.png"` in your dataset, you could try:

```
from datasets import Image

dataset['train'] = dataset['train'].map(lambda u, idx: {'mask': f"/workspace/data/mask_{idx}.png", with_indices=True).cast_column("mask", Image())
```

What this does is that it adds a column to your dataset name `mask` with the path to the mask, then it cast the column as an `Image` feature.

This [link](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/v2.5.1/en/image_load) explains how to load images.

Hope this helps! > I think there is a slight misunderstanding.

Thank you very much, this is really helpful...
i made some changes for it to work:
```
dataset['train'] = dataset['train'].map(lambda u, idx: {'mask': f"/content/data/mask_{idx}.png"}, with_indices=True).cast_column("mask", Image())
```
Thanks Again @Dref360
