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
spacesSDK - 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.
