💥 Fast State-of-the-Art Tokenizers optimized for Research and Production

Last update: Dec 31, 2022

Overview

Provides an implementation of today's most used tokenizers, with a focus on performance and versatility.

Main features:

Train new vocabularies and tokenize, using today's most used tokenizers.
Extremely fast (both training and tokenization), thanks to the Rust implementation. Takes less than 20 seconds to tokenize a GB of text on a server's CPU.
Easy to use, but also extremely versatile.
Designed for research and production.
Normalization comes with alignments tracking. It's always possible to get the part of the original sentence that corresponds to a given token.
Does all the pre-processing: Truncate, Pad, add the special tokens your model needs.

Bindings

We provide bindings to the following languages (more to come!):

Rust (Original implementation)
Python
Node.js

Quick example using Python:

Choose your model between Byte-Pair Encoding, WordPiece or Unigram and instantiate a tokenizer:

from tokenizers import Tokenizer
from tokenizers.models import BPE

tokenizer = Tokenizer(BPE())

You can customize how pre-tokenization (e.g., splitting into words) is done:

from tokenizers.pre_tokenizers import Whitespace

tokenizer.pre_tokenizer = Whitespace()

Then training your tokenizer on a set of files just takes two lines of codes:

from tokenizers.trainers import BpeTrainer

trainer = BpeTrainer(special_tokens=["[UNK]", "[CLS]", "[SEP]", "[PAD]", "[MASK]"])
tokenizer.train(files=["wiki.train.raw", "wiki.valid.raw", "wiki.test.raw"], trainer=trainer)

Once your tokenizer is trained, encode any text with just one line:

output = tokenizer.encode("Hello, y'all! How are you 😁 ?")
print(output.tokens)
# ["Hello", ",", "y", "'", "all", "!", "How", "are", "you", "[UNK]", "?"]

Can't import any modules

What is says on the tin. Every module I try importing into a script is spitting out a "module not found" rror.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "ab2.py", line 3, in from tokenizers.tools import BertWordPieceTokenizer ImportError: cannot import name 'BertWordPieceTokenizer' from 'tokenizers.tools' (/home/../anaconda3/envs/tokenizers/lib/python3.7/site-packages/tokenizers/tools/init.py)

Traceback (most recent call last): File "ab2.py", line 3, in from transformers import BertWordPieceTokenizer ImportError: cannot import name 'BertWordPieceTokenizer' from 'transformers' (/home/../anaconda3/envs/tokenizers/lib/python3.7/site-packages/transformers/init.py)

I've tried:

import BertWordPieceTokenizer from tokenizers.toold import AutoTokenizer from tokenizers import BartTokenizer

To Illustrate a few examples.

I've installed Tokenizers in an anaconda3 venv via pip, via conda forge, and compiled from source.

I've tried installing Transformers as well and get the same errors. I've tried installing Tokenizers and then installing Transformers and got the same errors.

I've tried installing Transformers and then Tokenizers and gotten the same error.

I've looked through the Tokenizers code and unless I'm missing something (entirely possible) autotokenize isn't even a part of the package? I'll admit I'm not a very experienced programmer but I'll be damned if I can find it.

Help would be appreciated.

System specs are:

Linux mint 21.1 RTX2080 ti i78700k

cudnn 8.1.1 cuda 11.2.0 Tensor rt 7.2.3 Python 3.7 (by the way, figuring out what was needed here, finding the files, and actually installing them was beyond arduous. There has to be a better way. It's the only way I could get anything at all to work though).

How to decode with the existing tokenizer

I train the tokenizer following the tutorial of the huggingface:

from tokenizers import Tokenizer
from tokenizers.models import BPE
from tokenizers.trainers import BpeTrainer
from tokenizers.pre_tokenizers import Whitespace

tokenizer = Tokenizer(BPE(unk_token="[UNK]"))
trainer = BpeTrainer(special_tokens=["[UNK]", "[CLS]", "[SEP]", "[PAD]", "[MASK]"])
tokenizer.pre_tokenizer = Whitespace()
files = [f"wikitext-103-raw/wiki.{split}.raw" for split in ["test", "train", "valid"]]
tokenizer.train(files, trainer)
tokenizer.save("tokenizer-wiki.json")

But I don't know how to use the existing tokenizer for decoding:

tokenizer = Tokenizer.from_file("tokenizer-wiki.json")
o=tokenizer.encode("sd jk sds  sds")
tokenizer.decode(o.ids)
# s d j k s ds s ds

I know we can recover the output with the o.offsets, but what if we do not know the offsets, like we are decoding from a language model or NMT.

Is there any support for 'google/tapas-mini-finetuned-wtq' tokenizer?

I'm trying to run a tokenizer in java then eventually compile it to run on android for an open domain question and answer project. I'm wondering why 'google/tapas-mini-finetuned-wtq' doesn't work with DeepJavaLibrary. For more popular models the tokenizer is working. I'm assuming there is no fast tokenizer for tapas, so i was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to go about running tapas tokenizer and model on android/java?
