+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+[//]: # (Write a short description of the model and how to use it with the `from_pretrained` method.)
+
+ReLiK is a lightweight and fast model for **Entity Linking** and **Relation Extraction**.
+It is composed of two main components: a retriever and a reader.
+The retriever is responsible for retrieving relevant documents from a large collection,
+while the reader is responsible for extracting entities and relations from the retrieved documents.
+ReLiK can be used with the `from_pretrained` method to load a pre-trained pipeline.
+
+Here is an example of how to use ReLiK for Entity Linking:
+
+```python
+from relik import Relik
+from relik.inference.data.objects import RelikOutput
+
+relik = Relik.from_pretrained("sapienzanlp/relik-entity-linking-large")
+relik_out: RelikOutput = relik("Michael Jordan was one of the best players in the NBA.")
+```
+
+    RelikOutput(
+      text="Michael Jordan was one of the best players in the NBA.",
+      tokens=['Michael', 'Jordan', 'was', 'one', 'of', 'the', 'best', 'players', 'in', 'the', 'NBA', '.'],
+      id=0,
+      spans=[
+          Span(start=0, end=14, label="Michael Jordan", text="Michael Jordan"),
+          Span(start=50, end=53, label="National Basketball Association", text="NBA"),
+      ],
+      triples=[],
+      candidates=Candidates(
+          span=[
+              [
+                  [
+                      {"text": "Michael Jordan", "id": 4484083},
+                      {"text": "National Basketball Association", "id": 5209815},
+                      {"text": "Walter Jordan", "id": 2340190},
+                      {"text": "Jordan", "id": 3486773},
+                      {"text": "50 Greatest Players in NBA History", "id": 1742909},
+                      ...
+                  ]
+              ]
+          ]
+      ),
+    )
+
+## 📊 Performance
+
+We evaluate the performance of ReLiK on Entity Linking using [GERBIL](http://gerbil-qa.aksw.org/gerbil/). The following table shows the results (InKB Micro F1) of ReLiK Large and Base:
+
+| Model                                    | AIDA | MSNBC | Der  | K50  | R128 | R500 | O15  | O16  | Tot  | OOD  | AIT (m:s) |
+|------------------------------------------|------|-------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------------|

+| EntQA                                    | 85.8 | 72.1  | 52.9 | 64.5 | **54.1** | 41.9 | 61.1 | 51.3 | 60.5 | 56.4 | 20:00      |
+| [ReLiK<sub>Base<sub>](https://huggingface.co/sapienzanlp/relik-entity-linking-base)                      | 85.3 | 72.3  | 55.6 | 68.0 | 48.1 | 41.6 | 62.5 | 52.3 | 60.7 | 57.2 | 00:29      |

+*Comparison systems' evaluation (InKB Micro F1) on the *in-domain* AIDA test set and *out-of-domain* MSNBC (MSN), Derczynski (Der), KORE50 (K50), N3-Reuters-128 (R128), 
+N3-RSS-500 (R500), OKE-15 (O15), and OKE-16 (O16) test sets. **Bold** indicates the best model. 
+GENRE uses mention dictionaries. 
+The AIT column shows the time in minutes and seconds (m:s) that the systems need to process the whole AIDA test set using an NVIDIA RTX 4090, 
+except for EntQA which does not fit in 24GB of RAM and for which an A100 is used.*
