Currently, the repository lacks a comprehensive README.md. We need clear documentation explaining how to set up the environment, run the pipeline (training & evaluation), understand the current benchmark performance, and view the tech stack used in this project.
Proposed Structure for README.md
1. Project Overview
- High-level overview of the facial expression recognition pipeline using PyTorch and Hugging Face datasets.
2. Tech Stack & Tools Used
- PyTorch / Torchvision: Model building (ResNet), dataset transforms, training loop, and MPS (Apple Silicon GPU) execution.
- Hugging Face (datasets): Dataset loading and disk caching.
- Scikit-Learn: Evaluation metrics (Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1, Confusion Matrix).
- Pillow (PIL) & NumPy: Image handling and array transformations.
3. Installation & Setup
- Prerequisites (Python version, virtual environment).
- Commands to clone the repository and install dependencies (pip install -r requirements.txt or poetry install)-
4. How to Run
- Commands for running the complete pipeline (python main.py or equivalent).
- Brief explanation of raw data downloading vs. loading behavior.
5. Model Benchmarks & Metrics
- Summary of current evaluation results (~68% accuracy / F1 score).
- Key metric breakdown (Precision, Recall, F1 macro/weighted) and confusion matrix insights.
