Diffusers examples are a collection of training scripts that reside in [examples](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/tree/main/examples).  
We support two types of training examples:  
- Official training examples
- Research training examples  
Research training examples are located in [examples/research_projects](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/tree/main/examples/research_projects) whereas official training examples include all folders under [examples](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/tree/main/examples) except the `research_projects` and `community` folders.
The official training examples are maintained by the Diffusers' core maintainers whereas the research training examples are maintained by the community.
This is because of the same reasons put forward in [6. Contribute a community pipeline](#6-contribute-a-community-pipeline) for official pipelines vs. community pipelines: It is not feasible for the core maintainers to maintain all possible training methods for diffusion models.
If the Diffusers core maintainers and the community consider a certain training paradigm to be too experimental or not popular enough, the corresponding training code should be put in the `research_projects` folder and maintained by the author.  
Both official training and research examples consist of a directory that contains one or more training scripts, a `requirements.txt` file, and a `README.md` file. In order for the user to make use of the
training examples, it is required to clone the repository:  
```bash
git clone https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers
```  
as well as to install all additional dependencies required for training:  
```bash
cd diffusers
pip install -r examples/<your-example-folder>/requirements.txt
```  
Therefore when adding an example, the `requirements.txt` file shall define all pip dependencies required for your training example so that once all those are installed, the user can run the example's training script. See, for example, the [DreamBooth `requirements.txt` file](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/blob/main/examples/dreambooth/requirements.txt).  
Training examples of the Diffusers library should adhere to the following philosophy:
- All the code necessary to run the examples should be found in a single Python file.
- One should be able to run the example from the command line with `python <your-example>.py --args`.
- Examples should be kept simple and serve as **an example** on how to use Diffusers for training. The purpose of example scripts is **not** to create state-of-the-art diffusion models, but rather to reproduce known training schemes without adding too much custom logic. As a byproduct of this point, our examples also strive to serve as good educational materials.  
To contribute an example, it is highly recommended to look at already existing examples such as [dreambooth](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/blob/main/examples/dreambooth/train_dreambooth.py) to get an idea of how they should look like.
We strongly advise contributors to make use of the [Accelerate library](https://github.com/huggingface/accelerate) as it's tightly integrated
with Diffusers.
Once an example script works, please make sure to add a comprehensive `README.md` that states how to use the example exactly. This README should include:
- An example command on how to run the example script as shown [here](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/tree/main/examples/dreambooth#running-locally-with-pytorch).
- A link to some training results (logs, models, etc.) that show what the user can expect as shown [here](https://api.wandb.ai/report/patrickvonplaten/xm6cd5q5).
- If you are adding a non-official/research training example, **please don't forget** to add a sentence that you are maintaining this training example which includes your git handle as shown [here](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/tree/main/examples/research_projects/intel_opts#diffusers-examples-with-intel-optimizations).  
If you are contributing to the official training examples, please also make sure to add a test to its folder such as [examples/dreambooth/test_dreambooth.py](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/blob/main/examples/dreambooth/test_dreambooth.py). This is not necessary for non-official training examples.
