Hi. I want to add random augmentations to my dataset. Meaning that I do not want to perform augmentations once during the creating of the dataset, but rather to generate the augmentation randomly during training. This is usually implemented in **getitem** method of default pytorch dataset class. Is it possible to make this functionality with current version of Datasets package?

You can use [`set_transform`](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/v2.14.5/en/process#format-transform) for this.
