🧠 AURELIA – Automated Financial Concept Note Generator

A comprehensive Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system that transforms financial documents into structured, standardized concept notes using PDF processing, vector embeddings, and AI-powered generation.

🎯 Project Overview

AURELIA is a production-grade microservice that automatically generates standardized concept notes for financial topics. The system extracts and processes content from the Financial Toolbox User's Guide (fintbx.pdf), applying a RAG approach for structured concept synthesis with Wikipedia fallback capabilities.

πŸš€ Quick Start Guide

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.8+
  • OpenAI API Key
  • Git

1. Clone and Setup

git clone <repository-url>
cd Automated-Financial-Concept-Note-Generator

2. Environment Setup

Create a .env file in the lab3-fastapi-service directory:

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-openai-api-key-here
DATABASE_URL=sqlite:///./aurelia_test.db
PINECONE_API_KEY=your-pinecone-key-here
PINECONE_ENVIRONMENT=your-pinecone-environment

πŸš€ Local Testing - Frontend + Backend

Quick Local Setup for Testing

To test the complete system locally with frontend and backend running together:

Step 1: Start the Backend (Terminal 1)

# Navigate to backend directory
cd lab3-fastapi-service

# Install dependencies (if not already done)
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Start FastAPI server
uvicorn app.main:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000 --reload

# You should see:
# INFO:     Uvicorn running on http://127.0.0.1:8000 (Press CTRL+C to quit)
# INFO:     Started reloader process

Step 2: Start the Frontend (Terminal 2)

# Navigate to frontend directory
cd lab4-streamlit-frontend

# Install dependencies (if not already done)
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Start Streamlit app
streamlit run streamlit_app.py --server.port 8501

# You should see:
# You can now view your Streamlit app in your browser.
# Local URL: http://localhost:8501

Step 3: Test the Integration

# Open your browser and go to:
# http://localhost:8501

# Test a concept query:
# 1. Enter "Sharpe Ratio" in the concept input field
# 2. Click "Generate Concept Note"
# 3. Verify the results show:
#    - Source: fintbx_pdf (Local Vector Service)
#    - Complete concept note with definition, intuition, formulae, etc.

πŸš€ Run Locally

cd lab4-streamlit-frontend
pip install -r requirements.txt
streamlit run streamlit_app.py
Backend must be running first:

bash
Copy code
cd ../lab3-fastapi-service
uvicorn app.main:app --reload
Open: http://localhost:8501

🧠 Overview
Section	Description
πŸ“š Query Concepts	Search and generate concept notes via the FastAPI /query endpoint.
πŸ“Š Database Explorer	View all seeded notes stored in PostgreSQL (or SQLite fallback).
πŸ“ˆ Evaluation Dashboard	Integrates Lab 5 metrics β€” latency plots, token cost, and accuracy charts.

πŸ”— API Endpoints Used

Session State: Persists last searched concepts across tabs.

Seamless Backend Integration: Communicates with FastAPI JSON endpoints.

🧩 Requirements
bash
Copy code
streamlit
requests
pandas
plotly
matplotlib
sqlalchemy
psycopg2-binary
πŸ–₯️ Example Usage
bash
Copy code
# 1️⃣ Start backend
cd ../lab3-fastapi-service
uvicorn app.main:app --reload

# 2️⃣ Launch frontend
cd ../lab4-streamlit-frontend
streamlit run streamlit_app.py
Then visit: http://localhost:8501

# Lab 5 - Evaluation & Benchmarking
## Requirements Implemented
- **Req 19**: Quality metrics (accuracy, completeness, citation fidelity)
- **Req 20**: Latency comparison (cached vs generated)
- **Req 21**: Retrieval latency & token costs for Pinecone/ChromaDB

## Files
- lab5_evaluation.py 

## Results
- Quality Scores: 80% accuracy, 80% completeness, 100% citation fidelity
- Performance: 27x speedup with caching (15ms cached vs 410ms generated)
- Cost: ~$0.000008 per query using text-embedding-3-large

## Dependencies

pandas matplotlib aiohttp openai pinecone-client chromadb requests

#### **Step 4: Verify Backend Health**
```bash
# In a new terminal, test the backend directly:
curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/health

# Expected response:
# {"status":"healthy","service":"AURELIA RAG Service","version":"1.0.0"}

πŸ”§ Troubleshooting Local Setup

Backend Issues

# If backend won't start:
# 1. Check if port 8000 is available
netstat -an | findstr :8000

# 2. Try a different port
uvicorn app.main:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8001 --reload

# 3. Update frontend backend URL in streamlit_app.py
# Change: default_backend = "http://127.0.0.1:8000"
# To:     default_backend = "http://127.0.0.1:8001"

Frontend Issues

# If frontend won't start:
# 1. Check if port 8501 is available
netstat -an | findstr :8501

# 2. Try a different port
streamlit run streamlit_app.py --server.port 8502

# 3. Check backend connection in Streamlit sidebar
# The backend URL should match your running backend

Connection Issues

# Test backend connectivity from frontend directory:
python -c "import requests; print('Backend Status:', requests.get('http://127.0.0.1:8000/health').json())"

# If this fails, check:
# 1. Backend is running on correct port
# 2. No firewall blocking connections
# 3. Correct URL in streamlit_app.py

πŸ“± Access Points

Once both services are running:

🎯 Expected Behavior

  1. Frontend loads with concept input field
  2. Backend responds to health checks
  3. Concept queries work and return structured notes
  4. Source shows "fintbx_pdf (Local Vector Service)"
  5. Complete concept notes with all components (definition, intuition, formulae, examples, pitfalls, citations)

πŸ“‹ Lab-by-Lab Setup and Run Commands
