# 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](https://gradio.app/)
- 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](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0), [MIT](https://opensource.org/licenses/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.
