  Refine README's opening sentence to highlight learned metric and human correlation

  # BLEURT: a Transfer Learning-Based Metric for Natural Language Generation
  
  BLEURT is an evaluation metric for Natural Language Generation. It takes a pair of sentences as input, a *reference* and a *candidate*, and it returns a score that indicates to what extent the candidate is fluent and conveys the meaning of the reference. It is comparable to `sentence-BLEU`, `BERTscore`, and `COMET`.

  # BLEURT: a Transfer Learning-Based Metric for Natural Language Generation
  
  BLEURT is a *learned evaluation metric* for Natural Language Generation, explicitly trained on human quality judgments to predict the quality of generated text. It takes a pair of sentences as input, a *reference* and a *candidate*, and it returns a score that indicates to what extent the candidate is fluent and conveys the meaning of the reference. It is comparable to `sentence-BLEU`, `BERTscore`, and `COMET`.

  ## Comparison with other metrics
  
  BLEURT is a learned metric, distinguishing it from traditional lexical overlap metrics like `BLEU` and `ROUGE`. Unlike `BERTScore` which relies on contextual embeddings similarity, BLEURT is explicitly trained on human quality judgments (e.g., WMT human ratings) to predict text quality, often correlating better with human perceptions. `COMET` is another learned metric, and while both aim for high human correlation, BLEURT's training methodology and model architecture (based on BERT/RemBERT) offer a distinct approach. For specific use cases, fine-tuning BLEURT on domain-specific human ratings can yield superior performance.
