AI/ML is a quasi-accurate tag which is frequently used to describe modern Machine Learning techniques which are commonly referred to as "A.I." of late, regardless of how inaccurate that may be.

The Fedora AI/ML SIG is a grouping of like-minded individuals and groups who are working towards improving the state of AI/ML and the associated toolchains in Fedora.

Communication / Contact

We are using Matrix and Discourse as our primary methods of coordination and communication. For the time being, we are also sharing a Discourse tag and Matrix room with the PyTorch and Heterogeneous Computing SIGs, until it makes sense to split them into separate rooms/tags.

Join the discussion:

Get Involved

The AI/ML SIG is in the early phases of forming and there is plenty of work going on, primarily in the area of packaging. More areas will be added as time goes on but currently, our primary areas of focus are:

  • ROCm: The effort to get AMD's ROCm toolchain packaged in Fedora is ongoing and more packaging help is welcome. You can get a quick overview of the state of affairs at the HC SIG's tracking page for ROCm packaging.
  • PyTorch: The PyTorch packaging effort is just starting and given the number of packages they're looking at, they could also use more help. See the PyTorch SIG page for more details.
  • Packagers: Join the AI/ML SIG FAS Group by introducing yourself on Matrix and sharing what packages you would like to focus on. Please note you will need to be an existing packager for group membership.

Meetings

The meeting schedule, purpose, technology, and attendees is still being developed. The latest SIG meeting will be listed on https://calendar.fedoraproject.org/SIGs/.


Build System

We will use COPR to coordinate work and compute resources to start.

  • Main SIG COPRs/Repos:
  1. AI/ML SIG GitLab Repository
  2. AI/ML SIG COPR Group
