Theoretical Basis of Subword Tokenization
Analyze the optimization problem inherent in modern text tokenization algorithms.
📝 Contenu du Prompt
Theoretically analyze the optimization problem used in subword tokenization algorithms such as Byte Pair Encoding (BPE) or WordPiece. Discuss the trade-off between vocabulary size and the average sequence length of encoded text. Formulate a theoretical model where the optimal tokenization minimizes the joint cost of vocabulary size and encoding length.
