### 2. Train the Model

```bash
# Run complete training pipeline
node training/train_model.js
```

This will:
- Generate training data
- Fine-tune the embedding model
- Generate domain-specific embeddings
- Evaluate model performance
- Create a trained model package

### 3. Test the Trained Model

```bash
# Run comprehensive tests
node training/test_trained_model.js
```

### 4. Use the Enhanced Model

```javascript
const EnhancedATSSkillMatcher = require('./enhanced_ats_matcher');

const matcher = new EnhancedATSSkillMatcher({
  domainAware: true,
  adaptiveThresholding: true,
  skillThreshold: 0.75,
  semanticThreshold: 0.7
});

await matcher.initialize();

const result = await matcher.analyzeMatch(resumeText, jobDescription);
console.log('ATS Score:', result.ats_score);
console.log('Domain:', result.domain_classification.domain);
```

- **Medium Match Pairs**: 40-70% skill alignment  
- **Low Match Pairs**: 10-40% skill alignment
- **Cross-Domain Pairs**: Skills that span multiple domains
- **Synonym Pairs**: Different terms for the same skills

### Sample Sizes
- **Training Data**: ~15,000 samples
- **Validation Data**: ~3,000 samples
- **Cross-Domain Data**: ~500 samples
- **Skill Synonym Pairs**: ~200 pairs

## 🔧 Model Features

### Domain Awareness
The model automatically detects job domains and adjusts matching strategies:

```javascript
const result = await matcher.analyzeMatch(resume, jobDescription);
console.log(result.domain_classification);
// {
//   domain: 'technology',
//   confidence: 0.89,
//   domainName: 'Technology & Software'
// }
```

### Adaptive Thresholding
Different skill types use different matching thresholds:

- **Technical Skills**: More flexible matching (0.9x threshold)
- **Soft Skills**: More semantic matching (0.85x threshold)
- **Exact Matches**: Higher confidence (1.1x threshold)

### Skill Synonym Detection
Recognizes equivalent skills across different naming conventions:

```javascript
const similarity = await matcher.getSkillSimilarity('JavaScript', 'JS');
console.log(similarity); // 0.95 (high similarity)

const similarity2 = await matcher.getSkillSimilarity('React', 'ReactJS');
console.log(similarity2); // 0.98 (very high similarity)
```

### Experience Level Matching
Intelligently matches experience levels:

```javascript
const alignment = await matcher.calculateExperienceAlignment(resume, job);
console.log(alignment);
// {
//   alignment: 'good',
//   score: 85,
//   resumeLevel: 'senior_level',
//   jobLevel: 'senior_level'
// }
```
