ContextCleanse - Email Intelligence

🚀 Project Overview

ContextCleanse is an email spam detection system that combines traditional machine learning with Reinforcement Learning (RL) techniques and adds an LLM assistant with RAG Pipeline on top of it. The system features seven different models, including the XGBoost + RL model, which continuously learns and improves from user feedback. Users can ask about the content of their Google emails or instruct the assistant to extract certain information from their emails.

Key Features

• 🤖 Assistant: LLM hosted with Ollama featuring RAG pipeline and streaming responses
• 🧠 Reinforcement Learning: Deep Q-Learning + Policy Gradient with real user feedback
• 📊 7 ML Models: Complete implementation with actual performance metrics
• 🔍 Semantic Search: Vector embeddings for intelligent email retrieval
• ⚡ Real-time Learning: 11+ real user feedback samples processed
• 📧 Gmail Integration: OAuth2 authentication for real email processing
• 🎯 High Accuracy: 95.0% F1-Score with XGBoost + RL model
• 🔄 Auto-Training: LOOCV and 5-fold cross-validation support
• 💨 State Preservation: Single Page App with zero reload times

🔬 Reinforcement Learning Implementation

RL Algorithms Used

1. Deep Q-Learning

# Q-Learning Update Rule
Q(s,a) = Q(s,a) + α[r + γ*max(Q(s',a')) - Q(s,a)]

# Implementation Features:
- State: 8-dimensional email feature vector
- Actions: {spam, ham} classification
- Reward: +1 (correct), -1 (incorrect)
- Q-Table: Discretized state-action values

2. Policy Gradient (REINFORCE)

# Policy Network Architecture
Input Layer (8 features) → Hidden Layer (16 neurons) → Output Layer (2 classes)

# Policy Update:
∇J(θ) = E[∇log π(a|s) * A(s,a)]

# Implementation Features:
- Neural network policy with tanh activation
- Advantage estimation using rewards
- Backpropagation through policy network

3. Experience Replay

# Experience Buffer
experience = {
    "state": email_features,
    "action": predicted_class,
    "reward": user_feedback,
    "next_state": updated_features
}

# Mini-batch Learning:
- Buffer size: 1000 experiences
- Batch size: 8 experiences
- Random sampling for stability

RL State Representation

The RL system converts email content into an 8-dimensional state vector:

Feature	Description	Range
length_norm	Normalized email length	[0, 1]
word_density	Words per character ratio	[0, 1]
uppercase_ratio	Uppercase character ratio	[0, 1]
punctuation_ratio	Punctuation density	[0, 1]
url_density	Number of URLs	[0, 1]
email_density	Number of email addresses	[0, 1]
spam_words	Presence of spam keywords	{0, 1}
urgent_words	Presence of urgent keywords	{0, 1}

• Local Processing: All data stays on your system (privacy-first)
• In-Memory Vector DB: Fast semantic search through email embeddings
• Cosine Similarity: Precise content matching for retrieval
• Hybrid Search: Combines semantic and metadata filtering
• Session Management: Secure, user-specific data isolation

📈 Performance

• Response Time: 3-15 seconds end-to-end with streaming
• Memory Usage: 4-8GB for llama3:8b model
