Randomly shuffle data and labels from different fi

Question

l have two numpy arrays the first one contains data and the second one contains labels. l want to shuffle the data with respect to their labels. In other way, how can l shuffle my labels and data in the same order.

import numpy as np
data=np.genfromtxt("dataset.csv", delimiter=',')
classes=np.genfromtxt("labels.csv",dtype=np.str , delimiter='\t')

x=np.random.shuffle(data)
y=x[classes]

do this preserves the order of shuffling ?

Answer 1

Generate a random order of elements with np.random.permutation and simply index into the arrays data and classes with those -

idx = np.random.permutation(len(data))
x,y = data[idx], classes[idx]

Answer 2

Alternatively you can concatenate the data and labels together, shuffle them and then separate them into input x and label y as shown below:

def read_data(filename, delimiter, datatype): # Read data from a file
    return = np.genfromtxt(filename, delimiter, dtype= datatype)

classes = read_data('labels.csv', dtype= np.str , delimiter='\t')
data = read_data('data.csv', delimiter=',')
dataset = np.r_['1', data, classes] # Concatenate along second axis

def dataset_shuffle(dataset): # Returns separated shuffled data and classes from dataset 
    np.random.shuffle(dataset)
    n, m = dataset.shape
    x = data[:, 0:m-1]
    y = data[:, m-1]
    return x, y # Return shuffled x and y with preserved order
