+# Deploying SigmaTriple to Hugging Face Spaces
+
+This guide will help you deploy the SigmaTriple application to Hugging Face Spaces.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. A Hugging Face account (sign up at [huggingface.co](https://huggingface.co/join))
+2. Git installed on your local machine
+3. Hugging Face CLI (optional, for command line deployment)
+
+## Deployment Steps
+
+### Option 1: Using the Hugging Face Web Interface
+
+1. **Create a New Space**:
+   - Go to [huggingface.co/spaces](https://huggingface.co/spaces)
+   - Click on "Create new Space"
+   - Enter a name for your Space (e.g., "SigmaTriple")
+   - Select "Streamlit" as the SDK
+   - Choose "Public" or "Private" visibility
+   - Select "T4" as the Hardware (GPU is recommended for this application)
+   - Click "Create Space"
+
+2. **Upload Files**:
+   - You can either upload the files directly through the web interface
+   - Or clone the Space repository and push the files using Git (recommended)
+
+3. **Git Deployment**:
+   ```bash
+   # Clone your new Space repository
+   git clone https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR_USERNAME/SigmaTriple
+   
+   # Copy all files from this project to the cloned repository
+   cp -r * /path/to/cloned/repo/
+   cp -r .streamlit /path/to/cloned/repo/
+   cp .gitignore /path/to/cloned/repo/
+   
+   # Navigate to the cloned repository
+   cd /path/to/cloned/repo
+   
+   # Add all files
+   git add .
+   
+   # Commit the changes
+   git commit -m "Initial commit of SigmaTriple application"
+   
+   # Push to Hugging Face Spaces
+   git push
+   ```
+
+4. **Wait for Deployment**:
+   - Hugging Face will automatically build and deploy your Space
+   - This may take a few minutes, especially for the first deployment
+   - You can monitor the build process in the "Settings" tab of your Space
+
+### Option 2: Using Hugging Face CLI
+
+1. **Install the Hugging Face CLI**:
+   ```bash
+   pip install huggingface_hub
+   ```
+
+2. **Login to Hugging Face**:
+   ```bash
+   huggingface-cli login
+   ```
+
+3. **Create a New Space**:
+   ```bash
+   huggingface-cli repo create SigmaTriple --type space --sdk streamlit
+   ```
+
+4. **Clone and Push**:
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR_USERNAME/SigmaTriple
+   cp -r * /path/to/cloned/repo/
+   cp -r .streamlit /path/to/cloned/repo/
+   cp .gitignore /path/to/cloned/repo/
+   cd /path/to/cloned/repo
+   git add .
+   git commit -m "Initial commit of SigmaTriple application"
+   git push
+   ```
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+You can customize your Space by modifying the following files:
+
+- `.streamlit/config.toml`: Streamlit configuration
+- `README.md`: Documentation and Space description
+- `requirements.txt`: Python dependencies
+- `packages.txt`: System dependencies
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you encounter any issues during deployment:
+
+1. **Check the Build Logs**:
+   - Go to the "Settings" tab of your Space
+   - Look for any error messages in the build logs
+
+2. **Common Issues**:
+   - **Memory Errors**: The model requires significant memory. Make sure you're using a GPU instance.
+   - **Dependency Issues**: Check that all required packages are listed in requirements.txt and packages.txt.
+   - **Timeout Errors**: The initial model loading might take time. Hugging Face Spaces has a build timeout of 10 minutes.
+
+3. **Reduce Model Size**:
+   - If you're experiencing memory issues, you can modify app.py to use a smaller model or implement model loading optimizations.
+
+## Accessing Your Space
+
+Once deployed, your Space will be available at:
+`https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR_USERNAME/SigmaTriple`
+
+You can share this URL with others to let them use your application.

+# SigmaTriple: Knowledge Graph Extraction from Markdown
+
+This Hugging Face Space provides a Streamlit interface for extracting knowledge graphs from markdown text using the [SciPhi/Triplex](https://huggingface.co/sciphi/triplex) model.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Extract Knowledge Graphs**: Automatically identify entities and relationships from markdown text
+- **Customizable Entity Types and Predicates**: Define the types of entities and relationships you want to extract
+- **Batch Processing**: Process large markdown files efficiently using vllm
+- **Interactive Visualization**: View the extracted knowledge graph as an interactive network diagram
+- **File Upload Support**: Upload markdown files directly or input text manually
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. The application uses the SciPhi/Triplex model, which is fine-tuned for knowledge graph extraction
+2. Markdown text is processed to extract plain text content
+3. For large texts, batch processing is applied with overlapping chunks to ensure context is maintained
+4. The model identifies entities and relationships based on the specified entity types and predicates
+5. Results are parsed and visualized as an interactive knowledge graph
+
+## Usage
+
+1. **Configure Entity Types and Predicates**:
+   - In the sidebar, customize the entity types (e.g., PERSON, ORGANIZATION) and predicates (e.g., WORKS_AT, FOUNDED) you want to extract
+   
+2. **Input Text**:
+   - Choose between direct text input or file upload
+   - For text input, simply paste your markdown text in the provided area
+   - For file upload, select a markdown (.md), markdown (.markdown), or text (.txt) file
+
+3. **Extract Knowledge Graph**:
+   - Click the "Extract Knowledge Graph" button to process the text
+   - View the raw model output, extracted triplets table, and interactive visualization
+
+## Technical Details
+
+- Uses the SciPhi/Triplex model for knowledge graph extraction
+- Implements vllm for efficient batch processing when available
+- Falls back to standard transformers library if vllm is not available
+- Visualizes knowledge graphs using NetworkX and PyVis
+
+## Example Use Cases
+
+- **Research Papers**: Extract key concepts and relationships from academic papers
+- **Documentation**: Create knowledge graphs from technical documentation
+- **Content Analysis**: Identify key entities and relationships in articles or blog posts
+- **Educational Content**: Visualize relationships between concepts in educational materials
+
+## Limitations
+
+- The quality of extraction depends on the clarity and structure of the input text
+- Very large documents may require significant processing time
+- The model may not capture all relationships, especially those requiring deep contextual understanding
+
+## Credits
