๐Ÿš€ Hugging Face Spaces Deployment Guide

Quick Deploy to HF Spaces (5 minutes)

Step 1: Prepare Your Repository

Your repository should have these files in the root:

  • โœ… app.py - Complete self-contained Streamlit application
  • โœ… requirements.txt - Minimal dependencies (streamlit, numpy, pandas)
  • โœ… README.md - With HF Spaces config at the top

Step 2: Create HF Space

  1. Go to huggingface.co/spaces
  2. Click "Create new Space"
  3. Fill in the details:
    • Owner: ArchCoder
    • Space name: federated-credit-scoring
    • Short description: Complete Federated Learning System - No Setup Required!
    • License: MIT
    • Space SDK: Streamlit โš ๏ธ NOT Docker
    • Space hardware: Free
    • Visibility: Public

Step 3: Upload Files

Option A: Direct Upload

  1. Click "Create Space"
  2. Upload these files:
    • app.py
    • requirements.txt

Option B: Connect GitHub (Recommended)

  1. In Space Settings โ†’ "Repository"
  2. Connect your GitHub repo
  3. Enable "Auto-deploy on push"

Step 4: Wait for Build

  • HF Spaces will install dependencies
  • Build your Streamlit app
  • Takes 2-3 minutes

Step 5: Access Your App

Your app will be live at:

https://huggingface.co/spaces/ArchCoder/federated-credit-scoring

๐ŸŽฏ What Users Will See

  • Complete Federated System: Simulated server, clients, and training

### **2. Federated Learning Process:**
1. **Client Registration**: Banks register with the federated server
2. **Local Training**: Each bank trains on their private data (simulated)
3. **Model Updates**: Only model weights are shared (not raw data)
4. **Aggregation**: Server combines updates using FedAvg algorithm
5. **Global Model**: Updated model distributed to all participants
6. **Predictions**: Users get credit scores from the collaborative model

### **3. Privacy Protection:**
- ๐Ÿ”’ **Data Never Leaves**: Each bank's data stays completely local
- ๐Ÿ”’ **Model Updates Only**: Only gradients/weights are shared
- ๐Ÿ”’ **No Central Database**: No single point of data collection
- ๐Ÿ”’ **Collaborative Learning**: Multiple banks improve the model together

## ๐ŸŽฎ **User Experience**

### **What Users Can Do:**
1. **Enter customer features** and get credit score predictions
2. **Start client simulators** to participate in federated learning
3. **Control training rounds** and watch the model improve
4. **View real-time metrics** and training progress
5. **Learn about federated learning** through interactive demos

### **Interactive Controls:**
- **Start/Stop Clients**: Control client participation
- **Training Rounds**: Manually trigger training rounds
- **Real-time Metrics**: Watch accuracy improve over time
- **Live Visualizations**: See training progress charts
- **Debug Information**: Monitor system status and logs
