What is text tokenization?

Text tokenization is a preprocessing step


for LLMs to break down text into
individual units called tokens (words,
characters, or subwords). This helps LLMs
understand and process human language.
Word-level tokenization
Subword tokenization: pieces, prefixes/suffixes
Character-level tokenization: text classification.
Tokenization Tools

NLTK (Natural Language Toolkit), spaCy:


popular Python libraries for NLP tasks,
including tokenization.
Hugging Face Transformers: a library
providing pre-trained models and
tokenization tools for NLP tasks.

Importance of tokenization

Enables LLMs to process text


Improves model efficiency: reduces the
vocabulary size, enabling the model specialization.
Handles out-of-vocabulary words
