## 🎯 KEY INNOVATIONS (For Report)
### 1. Language Bridge Problem
```
❌ BEFORE:
Company: "We're a tech company"
Candidate: "I know Python"
Result: No match! (different vocabulary)
βœ… 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 βœ…
- Direction > magnitude
- Perfect for embeddings
- Standard in NLP
```
### 3. Modular Architecture
```
Benefits:
β€’ Easy testing (mock β†’ real = 1 line)
β€’ Clear separation of concerns
β€’ Professional structure
β€’ Ready for expansion
```
---
## ⚠️ TROUBLESHOOTING
### "streamlit: command not found"
```bash
pip install streamlit
```
### "Port 8501 already in use"
```bash
streamlit run app.py --server.port 8502
```
### "Module not found"
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
### GitHub push fails
```bash
# Use Personal Access Token instead of password
# Generate at: GitHub β†’ Settings β†’ Developer settings β†’ Tokens
```
