🚀 Quick Deploy to Hugging Face Spaces

Option 1: Automated Script (Recommended)

# From project root
./scripts/deploy_hf_space.sh YOUR_HF_USERNAME active-reading-demo

Option 2: Manual Deployment

# 1. Create new space at https://huggingface.co/new-space
#    - Choose: Gradio SDK, Public visibility
#    - Hardware: CPU Basic (free)

# 2. Copy demo files to new directory
cp -r demo/ hf-deploy/
cd hf-deploy/

# 3. Initialize git and push
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Active Reading demo"
git remote add origin https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR_USERNAME/SPACE_NAME
git push -u origin main

🎨 Customization Options

Branding

Update in app.py:

# Change title and description
gr.Blocks(title="Your Company Active Reading", theme=gr.themes.Soft())

# Update header
gr.Markdown("# 🧠 Your Company Active Reading Demo")

Sample Documents

Add your own samples in app.py:

sample_texts = {
    "Your Document Type": """
    Your sample content here...
    """,
    # ... existing samples
}

Strategies

Extend reading strategies:

# In SimpleActiveReader class
def custom_strategy(self, text: str) -> List[str]:
    # Your custom processing logic
    return results

📈 Analytics and Monitoring

Built-in Metrics

• Document processing counts
• Strategy usage patterns
• Error rates and performance
• User interaction patterns

HF Spaces Analytics

• View usage stats in HF Spaces dashboard
• Monitor resource consumption
• Track user engagement

🔒 Security Considerations

Demo Limitations

• No data persistence: Sessions are temporary
• No user authentication: Public access
• Limited PII protection: Basic patterns only
• No audit logging: Demo purposes only

For Production Use

Upgrade to full enterprise framework for:

• User authentication and authorization
• Comprehensive PII detection
• Audit logging and compliance
• Data encryption and persistence

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Model Loading Errors:

# Check if model downloads properly
python -c "from transformers import AutoTokenizer; AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('microsoft/DialoGPT-small')"

Memory Issues:

• Reduce max_length in model config
• Use smaller batch sizes
• Upgrade to paid HF Spaces hardware

Slow Performance:

• Upgrade to GPU hardware
• Optimize chunk sizes
• Cache model loading

Error Messages

• "Model not loaded": Model initialization failed
• "Processing timeout": Document too large or complex
• "Memory error": Upgrade hardware or reduce input size
