+### Graph-based captioning (GBC) is a new image annotation paradigm that combines the strengths of long captions, region captions, and scene graphs
+
+GBC interconnects region captions to create a unified description akin to a long caption, while also providing structural information similar to scene graphs.

+
+### Text-to-Image with GBC as Middleware
+
+We propose to use GBC as middleware for text-to-image generation. This repository provides model for generating GBC annotation from simple text prompt.

+
+For futher detail on how to use the model please refer to the [accompanying code repository](https://github.com/apple/ml-gbc?tab=readme-ov-file#-gbc-text-to-image).
