# Materials AI App

Materials AI App is a production-grade, full-stack web application designed for advanced text mining and data extraction in the materials science and battery research domains. It leverages domain-specific models (MatSciBERT, MaterialBERT, BatteryBERT) along with OpenAI's GPT‑4 for natural language summarization and Q&A. The application uses FastAPI for the backend API and Gradio for an interactive demo interface, and it is deployed on Hugging Face Spaces.

## Features

- **Domain-Specific Text Mining:**  
  Extract entities and relations (e.g., material properties, synthesis methods) from scientific literature using specialized BERT models.

- **Interactive Q&A:**  
  Ask questions related to materials science and battery research and receive context-aware answers.

- **Summarization:**  
  Generate plain-language summaries of research text with GPT‑4.

- **User-Friendly Interface:**  
  A Gradio-based demo allows for quick testing and visualization of extracted information.

- **Scalable & Secure:**  
  Built using FastAPI with containerization (Docker) and CI/CD practices, ensuring robust production deployment on Hugging Face Spaces.

## Installation

1. **Clone the Repository:**
   ```bash
   git clone https://huggingface.co/spaces/mgbam/materials-ai-app
   cd materials-ai-app
Set Up a Virtual Environment:

bash
Copy
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use: venv\Scripts\activate
Install Dependencies:

bash
Copy
pip install -r requirements.txt
Configure Environment Variables: Set the following environment variables (e.g., in a .env file or your shell):

OPENAI_API_KEY: Your OpenAI API key.

API_URL: URL of your FastAPI backend (if different from localhost).

Running Locally
Backend API
Start the FastAPI server:

bash
Copy
uvicorn app.main:app --reload
Access the API at http://localhost:8000.

Gradio Demo
In another terminal, run:

bash
Copy
python gradio_app.py
This launches the interactive Gradio interface for testing extraction and summarization.

Deployment
This repository is configured for deployment on Hugging Face Spaces. Simply push your changes to the repository, and Hugging Face Spaces will build and deploy your app automatically.

Alternatively, you can use the provided Dockerfile:

bash
Copy
docker build -t materials-ai-app .
docker run -p 8000:8000 materials-ai-app
