Introduction

As a developer of the BEHAVIOR Robot Suite (BRS) and the WB-VIMA algorithm, you have already taken the first step in making your work accessible to the broader research community by hosting your dataset on the Hugging Face Hub. However, to further increase the visibility and discoverability of your model, we recommend hosting your pre-trained model checkpoints associated with WB-VIMA on the Hugging Face Hub.

Benefits of Hosting Model Checkpoints on Hugging Face

Hosting your model checkpoints on Hugging Face provides several benefits, including:

Increased visibility: By hosting your model checkpoints on Hugging Face, you can reach a wider audience of researchers and developers who are actively searching for and using pre-trained models.
Improved discoverability: With Hugging Face's robust search functionality and tagging system, your model checkpoints can be easily discovered by users who are looking for models that match specific criteria.
Enhanced collaboration: By hosting your model checkpoints on Hugging Face, you can facilitate collaboration with other researchers and developers who are working on related projects.

Getting Started with Model Uploading

If you are interested in hosting your model checkpoints on Hugging Face, we recommend starting with our guide on uploading models. This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough of the process, including:

Creating a model card: A model card is a dedicated page that provides information about your model, including its architecture, training data, and performance metrics.
Uploading your model: Once you have created a model card, you can upload your pre-trained model checkpoints to Hugging Face.
Adding tags and metadata: To make your model more discoverable, you can add relevant tags and metadata to your model card.

Step-by-Step Guide to Uploading Models

To upload your model checkpoints to Hugging Face, follow these steps:

Step 1: Create a Model Card

To create a model card, navigate to the Hugging Face Hub and click on the "New Model" button. Fill in the required information, including the model name, description, and tags.

Step 2: Prepare Your Model Checkpoints

Before uploading your model checkpoints, make sure they are in a format that can be easily uploaded to Hugging Face. We recommend using the Hugging Face Transformers library to convert your model checkpoints to a format that can be easily uploaded.

Step 3: Upload Your Model Checkpoints

Once you have prepared your model checkpoints, navigate to the Hugging Face Hub and click on the "Upload Model" button. Select the model checkpoints you want to upload and follow the prompts to complete the upload process.

Step 4: Add Tags and Metadata

To make your model more discoverable, add relevant tags and metadata to your model card. This includes information such as the model architecture, training data, and performance metrics.

Tips and Best Practices

To get the most out of hosting your model checkpoints on Hugging Face, follow these tips and best practices:

Use clear and descriptive model names: Use clear and descriptive model names that accurately reflect the model's architecture and purpose.
Add relevant tags and metadata: Add relevant tags and metadata to your model card to make it more discoverable.
Use the Hugging Face Transformers library: Use the Hugging Face Transformers library to convert your model checkpoints to a format that can be easily uploaded to Hugging Face.
Provide clear documentation: Provide clear documentation for your model, including information about its architecture, training data, and performance metrics.
