Nonlinear Benchmarks

The 2025 Workshop on Nonlinear System Identification Benchmarks was full of great presentations! You can find most of the presentations back here.

A list of hosted nonlinear dynamical system datasets can be found below. Click on the image to open a more detailed description of the dataset you are interested in.

Do you have a great nonlinear system identification dataset ready to feature as a benchmark? Please contact us, maybe we can include it on this website! 

Many other datasets of dynamical systems or benchmarking problems have been reported and proposed in the literature. While they are not featured on this website, we still like to point interested users towards them:

• DAISY: A database for identification of systems (De Moor, B. et al., 1997) - link, paper

• Benchmark problems for nonlinear system identification and control using soft computing methods: Need and overview (Kroll, A. and Schulte, H., 2014) - paper

• Chaos as an interpretable benchmark for forecasting and data-driven modelling (Gilpin, W.  - 2021) - paper

• Simulated 4-DOF motion ship dataset under environmental disturbances  (Bayer, A. et al., 2022) - link

• A database for reduced-complexity modeling of fluid flows (Towne, A. et al., 2023) - paper

• BAE T1A Hawk modal test (Haywood-Alexander, M. et al., 2023) - link (starboard wing), link (full structure), paper (full structure)
