+# Facial Stress Prediction Model 🧠
+
+## Model Description
+
+This model predicts stress levels (0-100 scale) from facial images using geometric facial landmark features. It's designed for real-time stress monitoring applications in healthcare, mental health assessment, and wellness tracking.
+
+**Model Type:** XGBoost Regressor  
+**Task:** Facial Stress Level Regression  
+**License:** MIT (or specify your license)
+
+## Model Architecture
+
+- **Algorithm:** XGBoost Regressor with gradient boosting
+- **Features:** 9 geometric facial landmarks extracted using MediaPipe Face Mesh
+  - Eye Aspect Ratio (EAR) - left, right, and average
+  - Eyebrow tension - left, right, and average  
+  - Mouth openness
+  - Jaw width and jaw drop
+- **Output:** Continuous stress score (0-100)
+  - 0-30: Low stress
+  - 30-55: Moderate stress
+  - 55-75: High stress
+  - 75-100: Extreme stress
+
+## Training Data
+
+- **Dataset:** FER-2013 (Facial Expression Recognition)
+- **Samples:** ~4,900 images (700 per emotion category)
+- **Emotion Categories:** 7 (happy, neutral, surprise, sad, disgust, angry, fear)
+- **Supervision Method:** Weak supervision - emotion labels mapped to stress scores
+- **Split:** 80% training (3,920 samples) / 20% testing (980 samples)
+
+### Emotion-to-Stress Mapping
+
+```
+happy    → 10  (Very low stress)
+neutral  → 25  (Low stress)
+surprise → 40  (Mild stress)
+sad      → 55  (Moderate stress)
+disgust  → 70  (High stress)
+angry    → 80  (Very high stress)
+fear     → 90  (Extreme stress)
+```
+
+## Training Details
+
+### Hyperparameters
+
+- **n_estimators:** 300 trees
+- **max_depth:** 6
+- **learning_rate:** 0.1
+- **tree_method:** gpu_hist (GPU-accelerated) or hist (CPU fallback)
+- **objective:** reg:squarederror
+- **Feature normalization:** StandardScaler
+
+### Training Infrastructure
+
+- **Training time:** < 2 hours on GPU / < 4 hours on CPU
+- **Hardware:** NVIDIA GPU with CUDA support (optional but recommended)
+- **Framework:** XGBoost 2.x with scikit-learn
+- **Face detection:** MediaPipe Face Mesh (468 landmarks)
+
+## Performance Metrics
+
+- **Mean Absolute Error (MAE):** ~XX.XX stress points (update with your actual results)
+- **Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE):** ~XX.XX (update with your actual results)
+- **Approximate Accuracy:** ~XX% (update with your actual results)
+- **Target Performance:** 60-70% accuracy for MVP deployment
+
+*Note: Update the metrics above based on your actual training results from the evaluation cell.*
+
+## Intended Use
+
+### Primary Use Cases
+
+✅ Mental health monitoring systems  
+✅ Workplace wellness applications  
+✅ Telemedicine platforms  
+✅ Research in affective computing  
+✅ Educational tools for stress recognition
+
+### Out-of-Scope Use Cases
+
+❌ Clinical diagnosis without professional oversight  
+❌ High-stakes decision making (hiring, security clearance, etc.)  
+❌ Surveillance or privacy-invasive applications  
+❌ Biased or discriminatory profiling
+
+## How to Use
+
+### Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install xgboost scikit-learn opencv-python mediapipe numpy
+```
+
+### Inference Example
+
+```python
+import pickle
+import cv2
+import numpy as np
+from mediapipe import solutions
+
+# Load model and scaler
+with open('stress_predictor.pkl', 'rb') as f:
+    model = pickle.load(f)
+with open('feature_scaler.pkl', 'rb') as f:
+    scaler = pickle.load(f)
+
+# Initialize MediaPipe Face Mesh
+mp_face_mesh = solutions.face_mesh
+face_mesh = mp_face_mesh.FaceMesh(
+    static_image_mode=True,
+    max_num_faces=1,
+    min_detection_confidence=0.5
+)
+
+# Extract features from image (using FacialFeatureExtractor class)
+# ... feature extraction code ...
+
+# Predict stress level
+features_scaled = scaler.transform(features.reshape(1, -1))
+stress_level = np.clip(model.predict(features_scaled)[0], 0, 100)
+
+print(f"Predicted Stress Level: {stress_level:.1f}/100")
+```
+
+## Limitations and Biases
+
+### Known Limitations
+
+- **Weak supervision:** Model trained on emotion labels, not actual stress measurements
+- **Dataset bias:** FER-2013 may not represent all demographics equally
+- **Context-agnostic:** Doesn't account for situational context
+- **Still images only:** Trained on static images, not video sequences
+- **Lighting sensitivity:** Performance may degrade in poor lighting conditions
+
+### Bias Considerations
+
+- Training data may have demographic imbalances
+- Facial landmark detection may perform differently across ethnicities
+- Should be validated on diverse populations before deployment
+
+## Ethical Considerations
+
+⚠️ **Privacy:** Ensure informed consent when processing facial images  
+⚠️ **Transparency:** Users should know when stress analysis is being performed  
+⚠️ **Accountability:** Results should be reviewed by qualified professionals in clinical settings  
+⚠️ **Fairness:** Monitor for performance disparities across demographic groups
