kpe/bert-for-tf2

• highreadme#1

  Reposition the README's opening statement to clarify its unique niche

  Why:

  CURRENT

  BERT for TensorFlow v2
  
  This repo contains a `TensorFlow 2.0`_ `Keras`_ implementation of `google-research/bert`_ with support for loading of the original `pre-trained weights`_, and producing activations **numerically identical** to the one calculated by the original model.

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  A pure Keras-native TensorFlow 2.x implementation of BERT, ALBERT, and adapter-BERT, designed for seamless integration and producing activations **numerically identical** to the original Google models. This library focuses specifically on providing a lightweight, Keras-idiomatic solution for these transformer architectures within the TF2 ecosystem.

  ## Comparison to other libraries
  
  While comprehensive libraries like Hugging Face Transformers and Keras NLP offer a wide array of transformer models, `bert-for-tf2` provides a focused, pure Keras-native implementation of BERT, ALBERT, and adapter-BERT specifically for TensorFlow 2.x. Our emphasis is on:
  
  *   **Numerical Identity:** Ensuring activations are numerically identical to the original `google-research/bert` implementation.
  *   **Keras-Native Design:** Built from scratch using only basic TensorFlow operations, adhering strictly to Keras idioms for easy integration into existing Keras workflows.
  *   **Lightweight Focus:** A streamlined codebase dedicated to these specific BERT variants, avoiding the overhead of a broader, multi-model framework.
  
  Choose `bert-for-tf2` when you need a precise, Keras-centric implementation of BERT, ALBERT, or adapter-BERT with guaranteed numerical fidelity to the original models, without the need for a larger, more general transformer library.
