SentencePiece: A simple and language independent subword tokenizer and detokenizer for Neural Text Processing

Paper summary

SentencePiece trains subword tokenization directly from raw sentences without requiring language-specific word segmentation. C++ and Python implementations and translation experiments demonstrate the approach and compare configuration choices.

Relevance to the project

A practical reference only if a language-model component is later used. Tokenization must be recorded as part of the input representation when comparing models.

Language modelsTokenization

Subword units are not adopted meanings for the engine's d-float state.
