[WIP] Refactor README.md for academic clarity and appeal

[Copilot]

Plan for README.md Refactoring

• Analyze current README.md structure and content
• Add header with clean title and badges (Model and Paper links)
• Format Updates/Contents section with conference acceptances
• Refactor MVT-1.5 RICE section:
  • Format Highlights/Abstract clearly
  • Center architecture image
  • Format Experiments section with performance plot
• Improve Usage section formatting:
  • Add proper Python syntax highlighting
  • Separate Standard Usage and HuggingFace sections clearly
• Refine Visualization section for conciseness
• Convert Model Zoo to clean Markdown table with Resolution column
• Format Citation section with bibtex code blocks
• Review final output for professional academic appearance

Original prompt

Refactor the README.md file to make it more academic, concise, and visually appealing.

Changes required:

1. Header: Use a clean title "Margin-based Vision Transformer (MVT)" and add badges for Model (HuggingFace) and Paper (ArXiv) if URLs are available.
2. Updates Section: Create a clear "Updates" or "Contents" section listing the versions (MVT-1.5 RICE, MVT-1.1 MLCD, MVT-1.0 UNICOM) with their respective conference acceptances (ICCV 2025, ECCV 2024, ICLR 2023).
3. MVT-1.5 RICE Section:
   • Include the Highlights/Abstract clearly.
   • Display the architecture image centered.
   • Show the Experiments section with the performance plot.
4. Usage Section:
   • Format the code blocks properly with syntax highlighting (python).
   • Separate "Standard Usage" and "HuggingFace Transformers" usage clearly.
5. Visualization: Keep the visualization section but ensure the description is concise.
6. Model Zoo: Format the model list into a clean Markdown table with columns for Model, Resolution, and Download Link.
7. Citation: Use a bibtex code block for the citations.

Specific content to keep/reformat:

• Keep all image URLs.
• Keep the text describing RICE highlights.
• Keep the Python code snippets (fix any formatting issues).
• Keep the Citation bibtex entries.

Goal: The final README should look professional, suitable for an academic repository.
