Researchers have introduced MinGram, a new minimalist unigram tokenizer designed to simplify the training process while maintaining high compression and morphological alignment. MinGram achieves this by using a BPE-derived seed vocabulary and a simplified training procedure that removes complex components of standard unigram tokenizers. In tests across six languages, MinGram demonstrated superior compression compared to BPE and standard unigram methods, and its performance in downstream language model training consistently outperformed BPE in terms of bits-per-byte.
