New BHARATI tokenizers boost efficiency for classical Indian languages

Researchers have developed BHARATI, a new set of tokenizers specifically designed for classical Indian languages like Sanskrit and Tamil. Unlike standard algorithms that struggle with the agglutinative morphology and sandhi of these languages, BHARATI achieves significantly more efficient segmentation. This results in shorter sequence lengths, effectively increasing the context window for downstream language models and improving performance on specialized Indian Knowledge System terms. AI

IMPACT Improves language model efficiency and context length for classical Indian languages, potentially enabling better performance on specialized tasks.

    BHARATI: Morphology-Aware Tokenizers for Classical Indian Languages with Subword Fertility Analysis

    arXiv:2607.23319v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Standard subword tokenization algorithms such as Byte-Pair Encoding (BPE) and SentencePiece are trained predominantly on modern language corpora and produce inefficient segmentations when applied to classical Indian languages. Sansk…
