Large language models (LLMs) have achieved impressive proficiency in basic arithmetic, rivaling human-level performance on standard numerical tasks. However, little attention has b…
Tokenization with Split Trees
Craig W. Schmidt, Michael Krumdick, Adam Wiemerslage +4
We introduce Tokenization with Split Trees (ToaST), a subword tokenization method that directly optimizes compression under a new recursive inference procedure. ToaST greedily spli…
