> 👋 Please read the topic category [description](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/about-the-course-projects-category/11510) to understand what this is all about ### Description Many open-source projects on GitHub use Issues to triage feature requests, bugs, and so on. For example, check out the Issues tab of [🤗 Transformers](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/issues) and [🤗 Datasets](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues) to get an idea. The goal of this project is to pick your favourite open-source project and create a bot that can automatically assign a `Label` (e.g. bug, enhancement etc) to a new GitHub issue. ### Model(s) Any of the pretrained BERT-like models on the Hub should serve as a good basis for this project. Given the domain is about source code, you may find that fine-tuning the language model first on the dataset gives a boost in performance. ### Datasets For this project you’ll have to create your own dataset by downloading and processing the GitHub issues associated with an open-source project. You can do this with GitHub’s [REST](https://docs.github.com/en/rest) or [GraphQL](https://docs.github.com/en/graphql/guides/introduction-to-graphql) APIs. You can find an example dataset on the Hub here: - [lewtun/github-issues](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lewtun/github-issues) ### Challenges This is a multilabel classification task, so you’ll need to do some data exploration to figure out which classes can be feasibly detected. ### Desired project outcomes - Create a Streamlit or Gradio app on [🤗 Spaces](https://huggingface.co/spaces) that injests new GitHub issues from an open-source project and predicts the Labels of each one. - Don’t forget to push all your models and datasets to the Hub so others can build on them! ### Additional resources - [Predicting Issues’ Labels with RoBERTa](https://github.com/GiorgosKarantonis/Github-Issues-Classifier) - Check out [this chapter](https://huggingface.co/course/chapter5/5?fw=pt) of the 🤗 course for more details ### Discord channel To chat and organise with other people interested in this project, head over to our [Discord](http://xwo7x.mjt.lu/lnk/CAAAAkdkZwAAAAAAAAAAALG-MTEAAYCr4H8AAAAAAAyFyQBhjpnimM4rcE5DT5ibCUtRT96tWwAMh8Y/15/U6BYNMNDksyyGG4jgtzPKQ/aHR0cHM6Ly9odWdnaW5nZmFjZS5jby9qb2luL2Rpc2NvcmQ) and: - Follow the instructions on the `#join-course` channel - Join the `#github-issues-classification` channel Just make sure you comment here to indicate that you’ll be contributing to this project 🙂 ---

I would like to proceed with this project if still possible ---

Hey @DELith yes you’re welcome to take on this project! I’ve created a channel on Discord (see topic description) in case you or others need it 🙂 ---

I would like to participate on this project When I search on discord for #github-issues-classification nothing happens. I think there’s a disconnect with my discord and my [hf.co](http://hf.co) discussion site. ---

Hey @gerardo ! Did you first follow the instructions on the `#join-course` channel? You need to do that to see the team channels 🙂 ---

Hey @gerardo what happens if you add the 🤗 emoji to the message in #join-course? That should automatically open the rest of the team channels ---

@lewtun How do you think the raw text from the issue body should be processed before being fed into the model (training\ inference)? I mean the steps preceding the basic pipeline like tokenization and encoding? I am asking, because it might have some markdown syntax as well as long sequences like exception traceback and stuff like that. ---

Hey @DELith I think you can tokenize the text as you normally would with any text. My suggestion would be to start with that first as a baseline and then see if there’s a need to improve the preprocessing 🙂
