🎯 KEY INNOVATIONS (For Report)
1. Language Bridge Problem
❌ BEFORE:
Company: "We're a tech company"
Candidate: "I know Python"
Result: No match! (different vocabulary)
✅ AFTER:
Company + Job Postings: "We need Python, AWS"
Candidate: "I know Python, AWS"
Result: 70% match! (same language)
2. Cosine Similarity Choice
Why not Euclidean Distance?
- Scale-dependent ❌
- "Python: 5 years" vs "Python: 10 years" = different
- Magnitude matters too much
Why Cosine Similarity?
- Scale-invariant ✅
- Direction > magnitude
- Perfect for embeddings
- Standard in NLP
3. Modular Architecture
Benefits:
• Easy testing (mock → real = 1 line)
• Clear separation of concerns
• Professional structure
• Ready for expansion
⚠️ TROUBLESHOOTING
"streamlit: command not found"
pip install streamlit
"Port 8501 already in use"
streamlit run app.py --server.port 8502
"Module not found"
pip install -r requirements.txt
GitHub push fails
# Use Personal Access Token instead of password
# Generate at: GitHub → Settings → Developer settings → Tokens

💡 PRO TIPS
1. Test Early, Test Often
# Quick test after any change:
streamlit run app.py
2. Commit Frequently
git add .
git commit -m "Added X feature"
git push
# Streamlit Cloud auto-updates!
3. Have a Backup
# If cloud fails during demo:
./run.sh
# Then share your screen
4. Keep It Simple
Don't add features during demo week!
Polish what you have.
