+
+## Technical Implementation Details
+
+### Data Preprocessing Pipeline
+
+1. **Data Loading**:
+   - Features: 1866 samples × 784 features (koi_lightcurve_features_no_label.csv)
+   - Labels: 8054 samples (q1_q17_dr25_koi.csv)
+   - Aligned: 1866 samples (after merging by ID)
+
+2. **Feature Engineering**:
+   - Removed ID column (kepoi_name)
+   - Final feature count: 783 numeric features
+   - Missing value imputation: Median strategy
+   - Feature scaling: StandardScaler (zero mean, unit variance)
+
+3. **Class Balancing**:
+   - Original distribution: CANDIDATE (1362), CONFIRMED (2726), FALSE POSITIVE (3966)
+   - Applied SMOTE oversampling
+   - Balanced distribution: 2974 samples per class
+
+4. **Train/Test Split**:
+   - Training: 75% (6040 samples → 8922 after SMOTE)
+   - Testing: 25% (2014 samples)
+   - Stratified split by class labels
+
+### Model Architectures
+
+#### 1. XGBoost (Gradient Boosting)
+```python
+XGBClassifier(
+    n_estimators=200,
+    max_depth=8,
+    learning_rate=0.1,
+    tree_method='hist',
+    n_jobs=-1
+)
+```
+- Training time: 14.76 seconds
+- Test accuracy: 92.29%
+- Best for: Fast inference, production deployment
+
+#### 2. Random Forest
+```python
+RandomForestClassifier(
+    n_estimators=300,
+    max_depth=20,
+    class_weight='balanced',
+    n_jobs=-1
+)
+```
+- Training time: 11.12 seconds
+- Test accuracy: **92.72%** (BEST)
+- Best for: Robust predictions, feature importance
+
+#### 3. Genesis CNN
+```
+Input (783,) → Reshape (783, 1)
+Conv1D(64, 50) + BatchNorm + Conv1D(64, 50) + BatchNorm + MaxPool(16) + Dropout(0.25)
+Conv1D(128, 12) + BatchNorm + Conv1D(128, 12) + BatchNorm + AvgPool(8) + Dropout(0.3)
+Flatten → Dense(256) + BatchNorm + Dropout(0.4)
+Dense(128) + BatchNorm + Dropout(0.3)
+Dense(3, softmax)
+```
+- Training time: 1504.99 seconds (~25 minutes)
+- Epochs: 26/50 (early stopping triggered)
+- Best validation accuracy: 57.45% (Epoch 15)
+- Final test accuracy: 29.10%
+- Note: CNN struggled with this tabular data (designed for time-series)
+
+#### 4. Ensemble Model
+```python
+class SimpleEnsemble:
+    """Averages predictions from XGBoost and Random Forest"""
+
+    def predict_proba(self, X):
+        # Equal weighted average of probabilities
+        avg_proba = mean([xgb.predict_proba(X), rf.predict_proba(X)])
+        return avg_proba
+```
+- Test accuracy: 92.29%
+- Combines XGBoost + Random Forest (equal weights)

+
+## Production Deployment
+
+### Requirements
+```
+flask==3.0.0
+flask-cors==4.0.0
+numpy>=1.24.0
+pandas>=2.0.0
+scikit-learn>=1.3.0
+xgboost>=2.0.0

+
+### Recommended Model for Production

+- Fast inference: ~10ms
+- No external dependencies (pure sklearn)
+- Robust to overfitting
+- Interpretable (feature importance)
+
+### Minimal Deployment Files
+
+For lightweight deployment, only need:
+```
+models/
+├── feature_imputer.pkl       (6.6 KB)

+
+## Key Challenges & Solutions
+
+### Challenge 1: Unicode Encoding Issues
+**Problem**: Windows CP950 codec couldn't display emoji characters
+**Solution**: Removed all emojis from print statements
+
+### Challenge 2: ID Columns Not Removed
+**Problem**: String columns causing "could not convert to float" error
+**Solution**: Filter only numeric columns using `select_dtypes(include=[np.number])`
+
+### Challenge 3: Missing Values (NaN)
+**Problem**: SMOTE doesn't accept NaN values
+**Solution**: Added SimpleImputer with median strategy
+
+### Challenge 4: Feature Dimension Mismatch (782 vs 783)
+**Problem**: Test scripts used wrong feature count
+**Solution**: Corrected to 783 features (after ID removal)
+
+### Challenge 5: VotingClassifier Validation Error
+**Problem**: sklearn couldn't validate XGBWrapper as classifier
+**Solution**: Created custom SimpleEnsemble class with direct probability averaging
+
+---
+
+## Model Performance Analysis
+
+### Why CNN Performed Poorly
+
+The Genesis CNN achieved only 29% accuracy compared to 92%+ for tree-based models:
+
+1. **Data Type Mismatch**: CNNs excel at spatial/sequential patterns, but Kepler features are aggregated statistics (not raw time-series)
+
+2. **Overfitting**: Validation accuracy peaked at 57.45% (Epoch 15) then dropped to 29%, indicating overfitting despite heavy regularization
+
+3. **Architecture Overkill**: Deep conv layers designed for complex patterns, but tabular features are better suited for tree ensembles
+
+### Why Tree Models Excelled
+
+1. **Tabular Data Strength**: XGBoost and Random Forest are designed for tabular feature sets
+
+2. **Feature Importance**: Tree models can identify important features automatically
+
+3. **Robustness**: Less prone to overfitting with proper hyperparameters
+
+4. **Efficiency**: Train in seconds vs. 25 minutes for CNN
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps (Optional Improvements)
+
+1. **Feature Engineering**:
+   - Analyze Random Forest feature importance
+   - Create interaction features
+   - Remove low-importance features
+
+2. **Hyperparameter Tuning**:
+   - Grid search for XGBoost/RandomForest
+   - Bayesian optimization
+
+3. **Cross-Validation**:
+   - K-fold cross-validation for robust metrics
+   - Stratified CV to ensure class balance
+
+4. **Model Calibration**:
+   - Calibrate probability outputs
+   - Threshold optimization
+
+5. **Production Enhancements**:
+   - Docker containerization
+   - Kubernetes deployment
+   - Model monitoring & logging
+   - A/B testing framework
