# πŸ€– EmbeddingGemma Tuning Lab: Fine-Tuning and Mood Reader
This project provides a set of tools to fine-tune EmbeddingGemma to understand your personal taste in Hacker News titles and then use it to score and rank new articles based on their "vibe."
It includes three main applications:
1. A **Gradio App** for interactive fine-tuning, evaluation, and real-time "vibe checks."
2. An interactive **Command-Line (CLI) App** for viewing and scrolling through the scored feed directly in your terminal.
3. A **Flask App** for a simple, deployable web "mood reader" that displays the live HN feed.
---
## ✨ Features
* **Interactive Fine-Tuning:** Use a Gradio interface to select your favorite Hacker News titles and fine-tune the `google/embeddinggemma-300m` model on your preferences.
* **Semantic Search Evaluation:** See the immediate impact of your training by comparing semantic search results before and after fine-tuning.
* **Data & Model Management:** Easily import additional training data, export the generated dataset, and download the fine-tuned model as a ZIP file.
* **Hacker News Similarity Check:** View the live Hacker News feed with each story scored and color-coded based on the current model's understanding of your taste.
* **Similarity Lamp:** Input any news title or text to get a real-time similarity score (its "vibe") against your personalized anchor.
* **Interactive CLI:** A terminal-based mood reader with color-coded output, scrolling, and live refresh capabilities.
* **Standalone Flask App:** A lightweight, read-only web app to continuously display the scored HN feed, perfect for simple deployment.

## πŸ”§ How It Works
The core idea is to measure the "vibe" of a news title by calculating the semantic similarity between its embedding and the embedding of a fixed anchor phrase, defined in `config.py` as **`MY_FAVORITE_NEWS`**.
1. **Embedding:** The `sentence-transformers` library is used to convert news titles and the anchor phrase into high-dimensional vectors (embeddings).
2. **Scoring:** The cosine similarity (or dot product on normalized embeddings) between a title's embedding and the anchor's embedding is calculated. A higher score means a better "vibe."
3. **Fine-Tuning:** The Gradio app generates a contrastive learning dataset from your selections.
* **Positive Pairs:** (`MY_FAVORITE_NEWS`, `[A title you selected]`)
* **Negative Pairs:** (`MY_FAVORITE_NEWS`, `[A title you did not select]`)
4. **Training:** The model is trained using `MultipleNegativesRankingLoss`, which fine-tunes it to pull the embeddings of your "favorite" titles closer to the anchor phrase and push the others away.
## πŸš€ Getting Started
### 1. Prerequisites
* Python 3.12+
* Git
### 2. Installation
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://huggingface.co/spaces/bebechien/news-vibe-checker
cd news-vibe-checker
# Create and activate a virtual environment (recommended)
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # On Windows, use `venv\Scripts\activate`
# Install the required packages
pip install -r requirements.txt
````
### 3\. (Optional) Hugging Face Authentication
If you plan to use gated models or push your fine-tuned model to the Hugging Face Hub, you need to authenticate.
```bash
# Set your Hugging Face token as an environment variable
export HF_TOKEN="your_hf_token_here"
```

## πŸ–₯️ Running the Applications
You can run any of the three applications depending on your needs.
### Option A: Interactive Fine-Tuning (Gradio App)
This is the main application for creating and evaluating a personalized model.
**▢️ To run:**
```bash
python app.py
```
Navigate to the local URL provided (e.g., `http://127.0.0.1:7860`).
### Option B: Interactive Terminal Viewer (CLI App)
This app runs directly in your terminal, allowing you to quickly see and scroll through the scored Hacker News feed.
![image](cli.png)
**▢️ To run:**
```bash
python cli_mood_reader.py
```
**Interactive Controls:**
* **[↑|↓]** arrow keys to scroll through the story list.
* **[SPACE]** to refresh the feed with the latest stories.
* **[q]** to quit the application.
You can also start it with options:
```bash
# Specify a different model from Hugging Face
python cli_mood_reader.py --model google/embeddinggemma-300m
# Show 10 stories per screen instead of the default 15
python cli_mood_reader.py --top 10
```
### Option C: Standalone Web Viewer (Flask App)
This app is a simple, read-only web page that fetches and displays the scored HN feed. It's ideal for deploying a finished model.
![image](flask.png)
**▢️ To run:**
```bash
# (Optional) Specify a model from the Hugging Face Hub
export MOOD_MODEL="bebechien/embedding-gemma-finetuned-hn"
# Run the Flask server
python flask_app.py
```
Navigate to `http://127.0.0.1:5000` to see the results.

## βš™οΈ Configuration
Key parameters can be adjusted in `config.py`:
* `MODEL_NAME`: The base model to use for fine-tuning (e.g., `'google/embeddinggemma-300m'`).
* `QUERY_ANCHOR`: The anchor text used for similarity scoring (e.g., `"MY_FAVORITE_NEWS"`).
* `DEFAULT_MOOD_READER_MODEL`: The default model used by the Flask and CLI apps.
* `HN_RSS_URL`: The RSS feed URL.
* `CACHE_DURATION_SECONDS`: How long to cache the RSS feed data.
