+Apply Transforms, Create DataLoader. We will use `Dataset.with_transform() <https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/v2.14.5/en/package_reference/main_classes#datasets.Dataset.with_transform>`_.
+It works on-the-fly, meaning the transforms you specified will be applied only when you access the data, which is also how the transforms work in the PyTorch ecosystem.
+The last detail is to know that this function works on the batches of data (even if you select a single element, it is represented as a batch).
+That is why we iterate over all the samples from this batch and apply our transforms::
+
+  from torch.utils.data import DataLoader
+  from torchvision.transforms import ToTensor
+
+  transforms = ToTensor()
+  def apply_transforms(batch):
+    batch["img"] = [transforms(img) for img in batch["img"]]
+    return batch
+
+  partition_torch = partition.with_transform(apply_transforms)
+  # At this point, you can check if you didn't make any mistakes by calling partition_torch[0]
+  dataloader = DataLoader(partition_torch, batch_size=64)
+
+
+Alternatively, you can use the `map() <https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/v2.14.5/en/package_reference/main_classes#datasets.Dataset.map>`_
+function. Note that the operation is instant (contrary to the ``set_transform`` and ``with_transform``). Remember that the ``map``
+will modify the existing dataset if the key in the dictionary you return is already present and append a new feature if
+it did not exist before. Below, we modify the ``"img"`` feature of our dataset.::
