How to Create Collections

Creating collections on GitCode AI is a great way to organize and share your AI resources. This guide will walk you through the process of creating effective collections that others can discover and use.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Before creating a collection, make sure you have:

A GitCode AI account
Access to the resources you want to include
A clear understanding of your collection’s purpose
Proper permissions to share the resources

Planning Your Collection

1. Define Your Purpose

What is the main goal of your collection?
Who is your target audience?
What problem does your collection solve?

2. Choose Your Theme

Domain-specific: Focus on a particular AI field (e.g., Computer Vision, NLP)
Task-oriented: Group resources by specific tasks (e.g., Image Classification, Text Generation)
Skill-level: Organize by difficulty (e.g., Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced)
Use-case: Group by application area (e.g., Research, Production, Education)

3. Plan Your Structure

How many resources will you include?
How will you organize them?
What additional information will you provide?

Creating Your Collection

Step 1: Access the Collections Feature

Log into your GitCode AI account
Navigate to the Collections section
Click “Create New Collection”

Step 2: Basic Information

Fill in the basic collection information:

Collection Name: Computer Vision Fundamentals
Description: Essential resources for learning computer vision, including models, datasets, and applications
Tags: computer-vision, deep-learning, image-processing, beginner-friendly
Visibility: Public
Category: Education

Naming Tips:

Use clear, descriptive names
Include key terms that users might search for
Keep it concise but informative

Description Guidelines:

Explain what the collection contains
Mention the target audience
Highlight key benefits
Include usage instructions if applicable

Step 3: Add Resources

Selecting Resources:

Models: Choose well-documented, functional models
Datasets: Include high-quality, properly formatted datasets
Applications: Select working, useful applications
Documentation: Add tutorials, examples, and guides

Resource Organization:

Collection Structure:
├── Models
│   ├── ResNet-50 (Image Classification)
│   ├── YOLO v5 (Object Detection)
│   └── U-Net (Image Segmentation)
├── Datasets
│   ├── ImageNet (Classification)
│   ├── COCO (Detection)
│   └── Pascal VOC (Segmentation)
├── Applications
│   ├── Image Classification Demo
│   ├── Object Detection Tool
│   └── Segmentation Playground
└── Documentation
    ├── Getting Started Guide
    ├── Tutorial Videos
    └── Best Practices

Step 4: Organize and Describe

For Each Resource:

Add a clear, concise description
Include key characteristics (size, format, requirements)
Mention any limitations or considerations
Provide usage examples when possible

Example Resource Description:

## ResNet-50
**Purpose**: Image classification with high accuracy
**Framework**: PyTorch
**Size**: 98MB
**Input**: 224x224 RGB images
**Output**: 1000 class probabilities
**Use Case**: General image classification tasks
**Performance**: Top-1 accuracy: 76.1% on ImageNet

Step 5: Add Metadata

Essential Metadata:

License: Specify how others can use your collection
Language: Indicate the primary language of resources
Difficulty: Set appropriate skill level requirements
Maintenance: Specify update frequency and support level

Advanced Metadata:

Dependencies: List required software and libraries
Hardware Requirements: Specify GPU/CPU requirements
Performance Metrics: Include benchmarks and comparisons
Related Collections: Link to complementary collections
