# 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 β€” **this is your home base** for contributing to the open-source ML ecosystem as part of the FAU community. ❀️
---
## 🌍 What You Can Do Here
### πŸ§ͺ 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
> πŸ” Tip: Always validate your models locally before uploading to avoid clutter and broken pipelines.
---
### 🎨 Build Amazing Hugging Face Spaces
Create interactive applications with:
- [Gradio](https://gradio.app/)
- Hugging Face `spaces` SDK
- Chatbots, demo UIs, document explorers, and much more!
> βœ… Keep it clean, creative, and collaborative.
---
### πŸ“Š Contribute Creative and Useful Datasets
Whether it’s **research data**, **cleaned corpora**, or **synthetic datasets** you've generated using simulation or AI β€” feel free to:
- Host them here

## 🧭 Guidelines and Best Practices
To ensure high quality and easy collaboration, please follow these essential practices:
- βœ… **Use clear and descriptive names** for your models, datasets, and spaces
- βœ… **Include thorough documentation** (README files, usage examples, dataset cards, model cards, etc.)
- βœ… **Test before publishing**: Ensure everything works as expected before pushing
- βœ… **Stick to open licenses**: Use [Apache 2.0](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0), [MIT](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT), or other open-source licenses
