In the last years, neural networks (NNs) have evolved from laboratory environments to the state-of-the-art for many real-world problems. Due to the properties of the loss surface and training methods, we hypothesize that NN models evolve on unique, smooth trajectories in weight space during training. Following, a population of such NN models (referred to as “model zoo”) would form topological structures in weight space. Further, the geometry, curvature and smoothness of these structures may contain information about the state of training and can reveal latent properties of individual models.Consequently, existing work uses different unstructured model populations for (i) model analysis, (ii) to identify learning dynamics, (iii) learn rich representations of such populations, or (iv) exploit the model zoos for generative modelling of NN weights and biases. Unfortunately, the lack of standardized model zoos and available benchmarks significantly increases the friction for further research about populations of NNs. With this work, we publish a novel dataset of model zoos containing systematically generated and diverse populations of NN models for further research. In total the proposed model zoo dataset is based on eight image datasets, consists of 27 model zoos trained with varying hyperparameter combinations and includes 50'360 unique NN models resulting in over 2’585’360 collected model states. Additionally, to the model zoo data we provide an in-depth analysis of the zoos and provide benchmarks for multiple downstream tasks.The dataset can be found at www.modelzoos.cc.In the last years, neural networks (NNs) have evolved from laboratory environments to the state-of-the-art for many real-world problems.
