Dataloader

An object that takes data from the dataset, and assembles them into batches. Note that this object does not decide what indices to load from, and hence is not a sampler.

Metaphorically speaking, if we let a dataset be a warehouse, a dataloader be a human, a batch be a crate, and the sampler be the manager, then the manager is responsible for informing the human what items to gather from the warehouse, who then puts them into crates.
