Model Zoo: A Dataset of Diverse Populations of Neural Network Models - CIFAR10

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>In the last years, neural networks have evolved from laboratory environments to the state-of-the-art for many real-world problems. Our hypothesis is that neural network models (i.e., their weights and biases) evolve on unique, smooth trajectories in weight space during training. Following, a population of such neural network models (refereed to as &ldquo;model zoo&rdquo;) would form topological structures in weight space. We think that the geometry, curvature and smoothness of these structures contain information about the state of training and can be reveal latent properties of individual models. With such zoos, one could investigate novel approaches for (i) model analysis, (ii) discover unknown learning dynamics, (iii) learn rich representations of such populations, or (iv) exploit the model zoos for generative modelling of neural network weights and biases. Unfortunately, the lack of standardized model zoos and available benchmarks significantly increases the friction for further research about populations of neural networks. With this work, we publish a novel dataset of model zoos containing systematically generated and diverse populations of neural network models for further research. In total the proposed model zoo dataset is based on six image datasets, consist of 24 model zoos with varying hyperparameter combinations are generated and includes 47&rsquo;360 unique neural network models resulting in over 2&rsquo;415&rsquo;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 as mentioned before.</p> <p><strong>Dataset</strong></p> <p>This dataset is part of a larger collection of model zoos and contains the zoos trained on CIFAR10. All zoos with extensive information and code can be found at www.modelzoos.cc.</p> <p>This repository contains two types of files: the raw model zoos as collections of models (file names beginning with &quot;cifar_&quot;), as well as preprocessed model zoos wrapped in a custom pytorch dataset class (filenames beginning with &quot;dataset&quot;). Zoos are trained with small and large CNN models, in three configurations varying the seed only (seed), varying hyperparameters with fixed seeds (hyp_fix) or varying hyperparameters with random seeds (hyp_rand).

An integrated population model reveals source-sink dynamics for competitively subordinate African wild dogs linked to anthropogenic prey depletion

<ol> <li>Many African large carnivore populations are declining due to decline of the herbivore populations on which they depend. The densities of apex carnivores like the lion and spotted hyena correlate strongly with prey density, but competitive subordinates like the African wild dog benefit from competitive release when the density of apex carnivores is low, so the expected effect of a simultaneous decrease in resources and dominant competitors is not obvious. </li> <li>Wild dogs in Zambia's Luangwa Valley Ecosystem occupy four ecologically similar areas with well-described differences in the densities of prey and dominant competitors, due to spatial variation in illegal offtake.</li> <li>We used long-term data to fit a Bayesian integrated population model (IPM) of the demography and dynamics of wild dogs in these four regions. The IPM used Leslie projection to link a Cormack-Jolly-Seber model of area-specific survival (allowing for individual heterogeneity in detection), a zero-inflated Poisson model of area-specific fecundity, and a state-space model of population size that used estimates from a closed mark-capture model as the counts from which (latent) population size was estimated.</li> <li>The IPM showed that both survival and reproduction were lowest in the region with the lowest density of preferred prey (puku, <em>Kobus vardonii</em>, and impala, <em>Aepyceros</em> <em>melampus</em>), despite little use of this area by lions. Survival and reproduction were highest in the region with the highest prey density, and intermediate in the two regions with intermediate prey density. The population growth rate (λ) was positive for the population as a whole, strongly positive in the region with the highest prey density, and strongly negative in the region with the lowest prey density.</li> <li>It has long been thought that the benefits of competitive release protect African wild dogs from the costs of low prey density. Our results show that the costs of prey depletion overwhelm the benefits of competitive release and cause local population decline where anthropogenic prey depletion is strong. Because competition is important in many guilds and humans are affecting resources of many types, it is likely that similarly fundamental shifts in population limitation are arising in many systems.</li> </ol>

Integrated population model for the Mallard in the Netherlands

<p><span>Europe's highest densities of breeding Mallards (<em>Anas platyrhynchos</em>) are found in the Netherlands, but the breeding population there has declined by ~30% since the 1990s. The exact cause of this decline has remained unclear.</span><span> </span><span>Here, we used an integrated population model to jointly analyze Mallard population survey, nest survey, duckling survival and band-recovery data. We used this approach to holistically estimate all relevant vital rates, including duckling survival rates for years for which no explicit data were available. Mean vital rate estimates were high for nest success (0.38 ±0.01) and egg hatch rate (0.96 ±0.001), but relatively low for clutch size (8.2 ±0.05) compared to populations in other regions. Estimates for duckling survival rate for the three years for which explicit data were available were low (0.16-0.27) compared to historical observations, but were comparable to rates reported for other regions with declining populations. Finally, mean survival rate was low for ducklings (0.18 ±0.02), but high and stable for adults (0.71 ±0.03). Population growth rate was only affected by variation in duckling survival, but since this is a predominantly latent state variable, this result should be interpreted with caution. However, it does strongly indicate that none of the other vital rates, all of which were supported by data, was able to sufficiently explain the population decline. Together with a comparison with historic vital rates, these findings point to a reduced duckling survival rate as the likely cause of the decline. Candidate drivers of reduced duckling survival are increased predation pressure and reduced food availability, but this requires future study. Integrated population modeling can provide valuable insights into population dynamics even when empirical data for a key parameter are partly missing.</span></p>

Gene drives for vertebrate pest control: realistic spatial modelling of eradication probabilities and times for island mouse populations

<p>Invasive alien species continue to threaten global biodiversity. CRISPR-based gene drives, which can theoretically spread through populations despite imparting a fitness cost, could be used to suppress or eradicate pest populations. We develop an individual-based, spatially explicit, stochastic model to simulate the ability of CRISPR-based homing and X-chromosome shredding drives to eradicate populations of invasive mice (Mus muculus) from islands. Using the model, we explore the interactive effect of the efficiency of the drive constructs and the spatial ecology of the target population on the outcome of a gene-drive release. We also consider the impact of polyandrous mating and sperm competition, which could compromise the efficacy of some gene-drive strategies. Our results show that both drive strategies could be used to eradicate large populations of mice. Whereas parameters related to drive efficiency and demography strongly influence drive performance, we find that sperm competition following polyandrous mating is unlikely to impact the outcome of an eradication effort substantially. Assumptions regarding the spatial ecology of mice influenced the probability of and time required for eradication, with short-range dispersal capabilities and limited mate-search areas producing `chase' dynamics across the island characterised by cycles of local extinction and recolonization by mice. We also show that highly efficient drives are not always optimal, when dispersal capabilities are low, rapid local population supression around the introduction sites can cause loss of the gene drive before it can spread to the entire island. We conclude that, although the design of efficient gene drives is undoubtedly critical, accurate data on the spatial ecology of target species is critical for predicting the result of a gene-drive release.</p>

Data associated with the manuscript "Simple statistical models can be sufficient for testing hypotheses with population time series data"

<p>This is a revised version of the archive of R code and data used in the manuscript,&nbsp;<em>Simple statistical models can be sufficient for testing hypotheses with population time series data.&nbsp;</em>The data are in three files. <em>etodata1.csv</em> and <em>etodata2.csv</em> contain two versions of the same data for shoal-dwelling fishes in the Etowah River and associated environmental covariates. <em>knz_dat</em> contains data for small mammals collected in the Konza Prairie Biological Station and associated environmental covariates. The R code consists of four primary files that call nine auxiliary files. CaseStudy1-main_code and CaseStudy2-main_code are the primary files for running the two case studies. Simulations1 and Simulations2 are the files for running the two batteries of simulations.&nbsp;We thank the Konza Prairie Biological Station and Konza Prairie Long-Term Ecological Research Program supported by the National Science Foundation (DEB-1440484) for collecting and providing access to mammal community data.

Code: A model of wild bee populations accounting for spatial heterogeneity and climate induced temporal variability of food resources at the landscape level

<p><span>The viability of wild bee populations and the pollination services that they provide are driven by the availability of food resources during their activity period and within the surroundings of their nesting sites. Changes in climate and land use influence the availability of these resources and are major threats to declining bee populations. Because wild bees may be vulnerable to interactions between these threats, spatially explicit models of population dynamics that capture how bee populations jointly respond to land use at a landscape scale and weather are needed. Here, we developed a spatially and temporally explicit theoretical model of wild bee populations aiming for a middle ground between the existing mapping of visitation rates using foraging equations and more refined agent-based modelling. The model is developed for <em>Bombus</em> sp. and captures within-season colony dynamics. The model describes mechanistically foraging at the colony level and temporal population dynamics for an average colony at the landscape level. Stages in population dynamics are temperature-dependent triggered with a theoretical generalized seasonal progression, which can be informed by growing degree days (GDD). The purpose of the LandscapePhenoBee model is to evaluate the impact of systematic changes and within-season variability in resources on bee population sizes and crop visitation rates. In a simulation study, we used the model to evaluate the impact of the shortage of food resources in the landscape arising from extreme drought events in different types of landscapes (ranging from different proportions of semi-natural habitats and early and late flowering crops) on bumblebee populations.</span></p>

Model Zoo: A Dataset of Diverse Populations of Resnet-18 Models - CIFAR-10

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>In the last years, neural networks have evolved from laboratory environments to the state-of-the-art for many real-world problems. Our hypothesis is that neural network models (i.e., their weights and biases) evolve on unique, smooth trajectories in weight space during training. Following, a population of such neural network models (refereed to as &ldquo;model zoo&rdquo;) would form topological structures in weight space. We think that the geometry, curvature and smoothness of these structures contain information about the state of training and can be reveal latent properties of individual models. With such zoos, one could investigate novel approaches for (i) model analysis, (ii) discover unknown learning dynamics, (iii) learn rich representations of such populations, or (iv) exploit the model zoos for generative modelling of neural network weights and biases. Unfortunately, the lack of standardized model zoos and available benchmarks significantly increases the friction for further research about populations of neural networks. With this work, we publish a novel dataset of model zoos containing systematically generated and diverse populations of neural network models for further research. In total the proposed model zoo dataset is based on six image datasets, consist of 24 model zoos with varying hyperparameter combinations are generated and includes 47&rsquo;360 unique neural network models resulting in over 2&rsquo;415&rsquo;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 as mentioned before.</p> <p><strong>Dataset</strong></p> <p>This dataset is part of a larger collection of model zoos and contains the zoo of 1000 ResNet18 models trained on CIFAR10. All zoos with extensive information and code can be found at www.modelzoos.cc.</p> <p>The complete zoo is 2.3TB large. Due to the size, this repository contains the checkpoints of epochs 1, 10 and 50. For a link to the full dataset as well as more information on the zoos and code to access and use the zoos, please see www.modelzoos.cc.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
