+FedScale consists of 20+ large-scale, heterogeneous FL datasets and 70+ various [models](./fedscale/utils/models/cv_models/README.md), covering computer vision (CV), natural language processing (NLP), and miscellaneous tasks. 
 Each one is associated with its training, validation, and testing datasets. 
 We acknowledge the contributors of these raw datasets. Please go to the `./benchmark/dataset` directory and follow the dataset [README](./benchmark/dataset/README.md) for more details.
