Very good initiative. Don't know but my name is missing?

Great initiative, @mvaloatto ! Fantastic way to spotlight the talent within the community. Speaking of talent and collaboration, I wanted to share highly related findings from our recent study that might add an interesting layer (https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.13380, with @silveriomf and two other colleagues).

We delved into the HF community's structure and, among other insights, discovered intriguing dynamics around author groups. In particular, our research (RQ1.3, 2.6) found that while there are numerous contributors, a small number of author groups, led by prominent figures, dominate the platform's popularity. Remarkably, one group alone captures 40% of HF's attention, showcasing a tight-knit collaboration that significantly influences HF's landscape. Moreover, almost all of their models exhibit great maintenance and documentation efforts. This highlights not just the concentration of popularity within specific groups, but also their commitment to quality and the accessibility of AI model development.

These insights could offer another dimension to your Space by identifying not just individuals but also these influential groups, emphasizing the power of community and collaboration in driving open AI forward :)
