Hugging Face FAU

Welcome to the official Hugging Face organization page for students, researchers, and enthusiasts from Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU)! 🌟

Whether you're fine-tuning models, experimenting with VLMs (Vision-Language Models), building innovative datasets, or creating impactful Gradio Spaces — this is your home base for contributing to the open-source ML ecosystem as part of the FAU community. ❤️

🌍 What You Can Do Here

🧪 Fine-Tune and Share Your Models

If you're working on LLMs, VLMs, or other neural architectures, this is the place to:

Upload your trained or fine-tuned models
Share meaningful experiments
Benchmark results and publish evaluations
Collaborate with fellow FAU students

🔁 Tip: Always validate your models locally before uploading to avoid clutter and broken pipelines.

🎨 Build Amazing Hugging Face Spaces

Create interactive applications with:

Gradio
Hugging Face spaces SDK
Chatbots, demo UIs, document explorers, and much more!

✅ Keep it clean, creative, and collaborative.

📊 Contribute Creative and Useful Datasets

Whether it’s research data, cleaned corpora, or synthetic datasets you've generated using simulation or AI — feel free to:

Host them here
Provide clear usage guides
Include metadata and intended use-cases

📚 Document everything — what it is, how it’s used, and any ethical considerations.

🧭 Guidelines and Best Practices

To ensure high quality and easy collaboration, please follow these essential practices:

✅ Use clear and descriptive names for your models, datasets, and spaces
✅ Include thorough documentation (README files, usage examples, dataset cards, model cards, etc.)
✅ Test before publishing: Ensure everything works as expected before pushing
✅ Stick to open licenses: Use Apache 2.0, MIT, or other open-source licenses
❌ Avoid uploading half-working or incomplete projects without any context or documentation
💬 Support your peers: Comment, fork, and collaborate!

🤝 Get Involved and Contribute!

This space is only as powerful as we make it together. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned researcher:

Contribute your work
Ask questions
Learn from others
Build tools and demos that help the community

We’re here to grow FAU’s open-source AI ecosystem — one commit at a time. 🌱✨
