📝 Issue Description
Hi Maintainers 👋,
I noticed that some parts of the documentation in this repository could be improved for clarity and ease of use. Updating the docs will help new contributors and beginners understand the project better.
Suggested Improvements
Add clearer instructions on how to set up the project locally
Provide step-by-step guidance on running each ML model
Add missing examples or explanations for certain notebooks
Improve formatting (headings, code blocks, spacing) for better readability
Include contribution guidelines for new contributors (optional)
Why This Update Is Important?
Better documentation helps:
New users get started quickly
Contributors understand the structure
Makes the repo more beginner-friendly
Helps in open-source events like Hacktoberfest
Additional Context
If needed, I’m happy to work on the documentation and submit a pull request! 😊
