+# Federated Learning for Privacy-Preserving Financial Data Generation with RAG Integration
+
+This project implements a **complete federated learning framework** with a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system for privacy-preserving synthetic financial data generation. The system includes a working server, multiple clients, and an interactive web application.
+
+## 🚀 Live Demo
+
+**Try it now**: [Hugging Face Spaces](https://huggingface.co/spaces/ArchCoder/federated-credit-scoring)
+
+## ✨ Features
+
+- **Complete Federated Learning System**: Working server, clients, and web interface
+- **Real-time Predictions**: Get credit score predictions from the federated model
+- **Interactive Web App**: Beautiful Streamlit interface with demo and real modes
+- **Client Simulator**: Built-in client simulator for testing
+- **Privacy-Preserving**: No raw data sharing between participants
+- **Educational**: Learn about federated learning concepts
+- **Production Ready**: Docker and Kubernetes deployment support
+
+## 🎯 Quick Start
+
+### Option 1: Try the Demo (No Setup Required)
+1. Visit the [Live Demo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/ArchCoder/federated-credit-scoring)
+2. Enter customer features and get predictions
+3. Learn about federated learning
+
+### Option 2: Run Locally (Complete System)
+
+1. **Install Dependencies**
+```bash
+# Create virtual environment
+python3 -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
+
+# Install dependencies
+pip install -r requirements-full.txt
+```
+
+2. **Start the Federated Server**
+```bash
+python -m src.main --mode server --config config/server_config.yaml
+```
+
+3. **Start Multiple Clients** (in separate terminals)
+```bash
+python -m src.main --mode client --config config/client_config.yaml
+```
+
+4. **Run the Web Application**
+```bash
+streamlit run webapp/streamlit_app.py
+```
+
+5. **Test the Complete System**
+```bash
+python test_complete_system.py
+```
+
+## 🎮 How to Use
+
+### Web Application Features:
+- **Demo Mode**: Works without server (perfect for HF Spaces)
+- **Real Mode**: Connects to federated server for live predictions
+- **Client Simulator**: Start/stop client participation
+- **Training Progress**: Real-time monitoring of federated rounds
+- **Server Health**: Check server status and metrics
+- **Educational Content**: Learn about federated learning
+
+### Federated Learning Process:
+1. **Server Initialization**: Global model is created
+2. **Client Registration**: Banks register with the server
+3. **Local Training**: Each client trains on their local data
+4. **Model Updates**: Clients send model updates (not data) to server
+5. **Aggregation**: Server aggregates updates using FedAvg
+6. **Global Model**: Updated model is distributed to all clients
+7. **Prediction**: Users can get predictions from the global model

+
+## 🔧 Configuration
+
+### Server Configuration (`config/server_config.yaml`)
+```yaml
+# API server configuration
+api:
+  host: "0.0.0.0"
+  port: 8080
+
+# Federated learning configuration
+federated:
+  min_clients: 2
+  rounds: 10
+
+# Model configuration
+model:
+  input_dim: 32
+  hidden_layers: [128, 64]
+```
+
+### Client Configuration (`config/client_config.yaml`)
+```yaml
+client:
+  id: "client_1"
+  server_url: "http://localhost:8080"
+  data:
+    batch_size: 32
+    input_dim: 32
+```
+
+## 🧪 Testing
+
+Run the complete system test:
+```bash
+python test_complete_system.py
+```
+
+This will test:
+- ✅ Server health
+- ✅ Client registration
+- ✅ Training status
+- ✅ Prediction functionality
+
