HFCommunity

HFCommunity is a dataset built via a data collection process relying on the Hugging Face Hub (HFH) API and Git.

HFCommunity dataset is provided as a relational database, and therefore it can be queried via SQL-like languages to enable empirical analysis on ML projects.

The following figure shows the architecture of HFCommunity.

As can be seen, HFCommunity is composed of two main components:

• Dataset Extractor. The Dataset Extractor includes extractors for the different HFH data elements (i.e., datasets, models, and spaces) and a database importer to store the extracted data. Note that the database importer follows the conceptual schema for HFCommunity, which includes the main entities and relationships to query HFH data (e.g., model, dataset, space, issue or discussion elements).

• Website. The Website is a web application that includes the main technical documentation of the tool and the last HFCommunity dataset dumps to be downloaded. A new release of HFCommunity is released every month.

Dataset Extractor

The Dataset Extractor has been developed in Python and is in charge of importing the HFH data into the HFCommunity dataset.

To execute the Dataset Extractor please refer to the docs.
