Hi! Very cool dataset! I answered your questions on the forum. Also, feel free to comment `#self-assign` on this issue to self-assign it.
## Adding a Dataset
- **Name:** *Ecoset*
- **Description:** *https://www.kietzmannlab.org/ecoset/*
- **Paper:** *https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2011417118*
- **Data:** *https://codeocean.com/capsule/9570390/tree/v1*
- **Motivation:**

**Ecoset** was created as a clean and ecologically valid alternative to **Imagenet**.

It is a large image recognition dataset, similar to Imagenet in size and structure. However, the authors of ecoset claim several improvements over Imagenet, like:
- more ecologically valid classes (e.g. not over-focussed on distinguishing different dog breeds)
- less NSFW content
- 'pre-packed image recognition models' that come with the dataset and can be used for validation of other models.


I am working for one of the authors of the paper with the aim of bringing Ecoset to huggingface datasets. Therefore I can work on this issue personally, but could use some help from devs and experienced users if the dataset is of interest to them. I phrased some of my questions on [discuss.huggingface](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/handling-large-image-datasets/19373).
