+Welcome to the official implementation of YOLOv7 and YOLOv9. This repository will contains the complete codebase, pre-trained models, and detailed instructions for training and deploying YOLOv9.
 
 ## TL;DR
-- Official YOLOv9 model implementation.
-- Features real-time detection with state-of-the-art accuracy.
-<!-- - Includes pre-trained models and training scripts. -->
-- Quick train: `python examples/example_train.py`
+- This is the official YOLO model implementation with an MIT License.
+- For quick deployment: you can enter directly in the terminal:
+```shell
+$pip install git+https://github.com/WongKinYiu/yolov9mit.git
+$yolo task=inference task.source=0 # source could be a single file, video, image folder, webcam ID
+```

+These are simple examples. For more customization details, please refer to [Notebooks](examples) and lower-level modifications **[HOWTO](docs/HOWTO)**.
 
 ## Training
-For training YOLOv9 on your dataset:
-
-Modify the configuration file data/config.yaml to point to your dataset.
-Run the training script:
+To train YOLOv9 on your dataset:
 
+1. Modify the configuration file `data/config.yaml` to point to your dataset.
+2. Run the training script:
 ```shell
-python examples/example_train.py hyper.data.batch_size=8 model=v9-c
+python lazy.py task=train task.batch_size=8 model=v9-c
 ```
 
-More customization details, or ways to modify the model can be found [HOWTO](docs/HOWTO).
+### Transfer Learning
+To perform transfer learning with YOLOv9:
+```shell
+python lazy.py task=train task.batch_size=8 model=v9-c task.dataset={dataset_config}

+To evaluate the model performance, use:
+```shell
+python lazy.py weights=v9-c.pt # if cloned from GitHub
+yolo task=inference task.source={Any} # if pip installed
+```
 
+### Validation [WIP]
+To validate the model performance, use:
 ```shell
