-# SetFit with sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2
+# Water Conflict Multi-Label Classifier
+
+## 🔬 Experimental Research
+
+> **Note:** This experimental research draws on Pacific Institute's [Water Conflict Chronology](https://www.worldwater.org/water-conflict/), which tracks water-related conflicts spanning over 4,500 years of human history. The work is conducted independently and is not affiliated with Pacific Institute.
+
+This model is designed to assist researchers in classifying water-related conflict events. 
+
+The Pacific Institute maintains the world's most comprehensive open-source record of water-related conflicts, documenting over 2,700 events across 4,500 years of history. This is not a commercial product and is not intended for commercial use.

+## 🌱 Frugal AI: Training with Limited Data
 
-This is a [SetFit](https://github.com/huggingface/setfit) model that can be used for Text Classification. This SetFit model uses [sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2](https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2) as the Sentence Transformer embedding model. A OneVsRestClassifier instance is used for classification.
+This classifier demonstrates an intentional approach to building AI systems with **limited data** using [SetFit](https://huggingface.co/docs/setfit/en/index) - a framework for few-shot learning with sentence transformers. Rather than defaulting to massive language models (GPT, Claude, or 100B+ parameter models) for simple classification tasks, we fine-tune small, efficient models (e.g., BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5 with ~33M parameters) on a focused dataset.
 
-The model has been trained using an efficient few-shot learning technique that involves:
+**Why this matters:** The industry has normalized using trillion-parameter models to classify headlines, answer simple questions, or categorize text - tasks that don't require world knowledge, reasoning, or generative capabilities. This is computationally wasteful and environmentally costly. A properly fine-tuned small model can achieve comparable or better accuracy while using a fraction of the compute resources.
 
-1. Fine-tuning a [Sentence Transformer](https://www.sbert.net) with contrastive learning.
-2. Training a classification head with features from the fine-tuned Sentence Transformer.
+**Our approach:**
+- Train on ~600 examples (few-shot learning with SetFit)
+- Deploy small parameter models (e.g., ~33M params) vs. 100B-1T parameter alternatives
+- Achieve specialized task performance without the overhead of general-purpose LLMs
+- Reduce inference costs and latency by orders of magnitude
 
-## Model Details
+This is not about avoiding large models altogether - they're invaluable for complex reasoning tasks. But for targeted classification problems with labeled data, fine-tuning remains the professional, responsible choice.

+### Interpreting Results
+
+The model returns a list of binary predictions for each label:
+
+```python
+label_names = ['Trigger', 'Casualty', 'Weapon']
+
+for headline, pred in zip(headlines, predictions):
+    labels = [label_names[i] for i, val in enumerate(pred) if val == 1]
+    print(f"Headline: {headline}")
+    print(f"Labels: {', '.join(labels) if labels else 'None'}")
+    print()
+```
+
+### Batch Processing
+
+```python
+import pandas as pd
+
+# Load your data
+df = pd.read_csv("your_headlines.csv")
+
+# Predict in batches
+predictions = model.predict(df['headline'].tolist())
+
+# Add predictions to dataframe
+df['trigger'] = [p[0] for p in predictions]
+df['casualty'] = [p[1] for p in predictions]
+df['weapon'] = [p[2] for p in predictions]
+```
