Charles J. Lovering, Seth Ebner, Brandon Smock +5
Professionals in academia, law, and finance audit their documents because inconsistencies can result in monetary, reputational, and scientific costs. Language models (LMs) have the…
Entropy-Driven Pre-Tokenization for Byte-Pair Encoding
Yifan Hu, Frank Liang, Dachuan Zhao +4
Byte-Pair Encoding (BPE) has become a widely adopted subword tokenization method in modern language models due to its simplicity and strong empirical performance across downstream…
Boundless Byte Pair Encoding: Breaking the Pre-tokenization Barrier
Craig W. Schmidt, Varshini Reddy, Chris Tanner +1
Pre-tokenization, the initial step in many modern tokenization pipelines, segments text into smaller units called pretokens, typically splitting on whitespace and punctuation. Whil…
How Much is Enough? The Diminishing Returns of Tokenization Training Data
Varshini Reddy, Craig W. Schmidt, Yuval Pinter +1
Tokenization, a crucial initial step in natural language processing, is governed by several key parameters, such as the tokenization algorithm, vocabulary size, pre-tokenization st…
