  • HF Transfer: Speed up file transfers
    2 projects | /r/rust | 7 Jul 2023
    Hugging Face seems to like Rust. They also wrote Tokenizers in Rust.
  • LLM custom dictionary

    Your intuition is right. There are two ways (in increasing order of result performance) : 1. You can simply extend vocab file of the tokenizer and test the predictions 2. You can extend the vocab file and re-train your model on custom data which has these new tokens. Check the following issue on GitHub : https://github.com/huggingface/tokenizers/issues/247
  • [D] SentencePiece, WordPiece, BPE... Which tokenizer is the best one?
    3 projects | /r/MachineLearning | 27 Dec 2021
    SentencePiece -> implementation of some algorithms (there are several others, https://github.com/microsoft/BlingFire https://github.com/glample/fastBPE https://github.com/huggingface/tokenizers )
  • Portability of Rust in 2021
    8 projects | /r/rust | 10 Sep 2021
    In sum I would like the idea to go with Rust as I more or less got to rewrite the whole thing anyway, but I am a bit skeptical if I will be able to interface with everything that might come up at some point. Or probably end up in a wrapper hell if I got to use more C++ libraries. On the other hand there are definitely a few Rust projects out there that might come in handy (for example https://github.com/huggingface/tokenizers). And the build process is pretty awful right now (CMake it is but with lots of hacks).
  • [D] What's going to be the dominant language for machine learning in 5 years?
    1 project | /r/MachineLearning | 9 Feb 2021
    A full machine learning pipeline usually comprises far more than just the model, and this is the area where Rust may shine (the recent work by HuggingFace and their https://github.com/huggingface/tokenizers library is a good example)
  • substitute for tokenizer in torchtext
    1 project | /r/LanguageTechnology | 31 Jan 2021
    As for other tokenizers, you can take a look at - Huggingface tokenizers library: https://github.com/huggingface/tokenizers - NLTK tokenize: https://www.nltk.org/api/nltk.tokenize.html - Polygot: https://pypi.org/project/polyglot/
  • PyO3: Rust Bindings for the Python Interpreter
    18 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 29 Jan 2021
    Huggingface Tokenizers (https://github.com/huggingface/tokenizers), which are now used by default in their Transformers Python library, use pyO3 and became popular due to the pitch that it encoded text an order of magnitude faster with zero config changes.

    It lives up to that claim. (I had issues with return object typing when going between Python/Rust at first but those are more consistent now)

What are some alternatives?

When comparing tokenizers and BlingFire you can also consider the following projects:

onnx-tensorflow - Tensorflow Backend for ONNX

Mattermost - Mattermost is an open source platform for secure collaboration across the entire software development lifecycle..

onnxruntime - ONNX Runtime: cross-platform, high performance ML inferencing and training accelerator

OpenKP - Automatically extracting keyphrases that are salient to the document meanings is an essential step to semantic document understanding. An effective keyphrase extraction (KPE) system can benefit a wide range of natural language processing and information retrieval tasks. Recent neural methods formulate the task as a document-to-keyphrase sequence-to-sequence task. These seq2seq learning models have shown promising results compared to previous KPE systems The recent progress in neural KPE is mostly observed in documents originating from the scientific domain. In real-world scenarios, most potential applications of KPE deal with diverse documents originating from sparse sources. These documents are unlikely to include the structure, prose and be as well written as scientific papers. They often include a much diverse document structure and reside in various domains whose contents target much wider audiences than scientists. To encourage the research community to develop a powerful neural m
