wsl-modelzoo 0.1.1

CLI tool for downloading checkpoints and metadata developed by the AIML Lab.

Model Zoo Downloader

A command-line tool for downloading checkpoints and metadata developed by the AIML Lab.

This package provides a simple CLI to fetch artifacts from the Core, EuroSAT, and ViT model zoos.

Installation

It is recommended to install the package inside a virtual environment:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate   # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install wsl-modelzoo

This tool currently also requires the wget executable to be available on your system.

• macOS: brew install wget
• Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt install wget

Download directory

The CLI supports a --dir argument that lets you specify the root directory where checkpoints and metadata will be downloaded.

If --dir is not provided, the tool creates a downloads directory in the package root and stores all downloaded files there.

Core Model Zoo: valid combinations of architectures and datasets

Datasets marked with * also have a sparsified variant, for example mnist_sparsified.

Architecture	Dataset
cnn-small	mnist*, fmnist*, svhn*, usps*, cifar10*, stl10*
cnn-large	cifar10*, stl10*
resnet18	cifar10, cifar100, tinyimagenet

Valid config combinations

Architecture	Dataset	Supported configs
cnn-small	mnist*, fmnist*, svhn*, usps, cifar10, stl10	uniform, fixed, random

Extra hyperparameter filters

These filters only apply to selected cnn-small and cnn-large combinations with fixed or random configs.

Currently, extra filters accept only one value per argument unlike --seed and --ckpts (see below)

Architecture	Dataset	Config	Supported extra filters
cnn-small	mnist, fmnist, svhn usps, cifar10, stl10	fixed, random	--dropout, --init, --activation, --lr, --optimizer, --wd
cnn-large	cifar10, stl10	fixed, random	--dropout, --init, --activation, --lr, --optimizer, --wd

Allowed values for extra hyperparameter filters

Filter	Applies to	Allowed values
--init	all supported extra-filter combinations	uniform, normal, kaiming_uniform, kaiming_normal

--wd	cnn-small + svhn + (fixed or random)	0, 0.001, 0.1

--seed cannot be used with fixed or random configs.

Seed and checkpoint ranges

--seed and --ckpts accept one or more values within their allowed ranges.

You can pass:

• individual values, for example 1 10 25

By default, all the available seeds and checkpoints are retrieved if the user skips one of the two arguments above.
