Title: The Hugging Face Hub for LAM AI Datasets and Use Cases
Presenter: Daniel van Strien, Machine Learning Librarian at Hugging Face
Daniel van Strien will deliver a short practical workshop on how the LAM community can prepare data for use in machine learning projects and how machine learning and AI tools can be used to transform existing collections into data. This will include an overview of what the Hugging Face Hub is, how LAM institutions are using it to benefit from, and contribute to, the open source machine learning ecosystem and a hands on walkthrough of how you can use the Hub to share open datasets.

The AI4LAM Awesome List is an online list of resources of interest to the AI4LAM community. It features very brief descriptions and links to learning materials, software tools, projects, and various other resources relevant to the intersection of AI and (G)LAMs. The list is curated and maintained cooperatively by people in AI4LAM. Anyone can make suggestions for additions, changes, and improvements.
We have new ways of contributing and making suggestions, so do check out our new page all about it!
