## 🔧 **How It Works**

### **1. Federated Learning Process:**
- **Client Registration**: Banks register with the federated server
- **Local Training**: Each bank trains on their private data (simulated)
- **Model Updates**: Only model weights are shared (not raw data)
- **Aggregation**: Server combines updates using FedAvg algorithm
- **Global Model**: Updated model distributed to all participants
- **Predictions**: Users get credit scores from the collaborative model

### **2. Privacy Protection:**
- 🔒 **Data Never Leaves**: Each bank's data stays completely local
- 🔒 **Model Updates Only**: Only gradients/weights are shared
- 🔒 **No Central Database**: No single point of data collection
- 🔒 **Collaborative Learning**: Multiple banks improve the model together

### **3. Interactive Features:**
- **Start/Stop Clients**: Control client participation
- **Training Rounds**: Manually trigger training rounds
- **Real-time Metrics**: Watch accuracy improve over time
- **Live Visualizations**: See training progress charts
- **Debug Information**: Monitor system status and logs

## 🎮 **How to Use the Demo**

### **Step 1: Access the Demo**
Visit: https://huggingface.co/spaces/ArchCoder/federated-credit-scoring

### **Step 2: Try Credit Scoring**
1. Enter 32 customer features (or use default values)
2. Click "Predict Credit Score"
3. Get prediction from the federated model

### **Step 3: Start Federated Learning**
1. Click "Start Client" in the sidebar
2. Click "Start Training" to begin federated rounds
3. Watch the model accuracy improve in real-time
4. Use "Simulate Round" to manually progress training

### **Step 4: Monitor Progress**
