• And many more academic subjects

🚀 Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher
• pip package manager
• Internet connection (for downloading AI models)

Step 1: Clone the Repository

git clone <repository-url>
cd student-portal

Step 2: Install Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 3: Run the Application

streamlit run app.py

The application will open in your default web browser at http://localhost:8501

🔧 Configuration

AI Models

The system automatically downloads and loads the following Hugging Face models:

• DialoGPT-medium: For natural conversation and explanations
• RoBERTa-base: For question answering
• BART-large-CNN: For text summarization
• DistilBERT: For text classification

First Run

• On first launch, click "Load AI Models" in the sidebar
• Models will be downloaded automatically (may take several minutes)
• Subsequent runs will be faster as models are cached locally

📖 Usage Guide

1. Student Profile Setup

• Enter your name and academic level
• Select subjects of interest
• Set learning goals
• Click "Update Profile" to save

2. Starting a Learning Session

• Ask Questions: Type questions like "Explain photosynthesis" or "What is quantum physics?"
• Start New Topics: Use the "Start New Topic" button for structured learning
• Popular Topics: Click on suggested topics for quick access

3. Interactive Learning

• Chat Interface: Ask follow-up questions for deeper understanding
• Practice Quizzes: Test your knowledge with interactive questions
• Learning Modes: Choose between deep dive, quick review, or practice modes

4. Progress Tracking

• Monitor learning progress in the sidebar
• View topic completion percentages
• Track conversation history

🎨 Customization

Adding New Subjects

Edit the popular_topics list in app.py:

popular_topics = ["Mathematics", "Physics", "Chemistry", "Biology", "History", "Literature", "Your Subject"]

Modifying AI Models

Change model configurations in the load_models() method:

self.model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("your-preferred-model")

Customizing Explanations

Modify the generate_explanation() method to include subject-specific content and examples.

🔍 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Models Not Loading

• Check internet connection
• Ensure sufficient disk space (models can be several GB)
• Try restarting the application

Memory Issues

• Close other applications to free up RAM
• Consider using smaller models for lower-end systems

Import Errors

• Verify all dependencies are installed: pip install -r requirements.txt
• Check Python version compatibility

Performance Optimization

• Use GPU acceleration if available (requires CUDA-compatible PyTorch)
• Adjust model sizes based on system capabilities
• Enable model caching for faster subsequent runs
