Tokenization is a crucial preprocessing step for AI models, enabling them to understand human language by converting text into numerical representations. This process breaks down sentences into smaller units called tokens, which can be words, parts of words, or punctuation. These tokens are then assigned unique IDs that AI models can process mathematically, bridging the gap between human text and computer comprehension. Subword tokenization is particularly useful for handling new, rare, or complex words by breaking them into reusable components, which also aids AI in processing programming code. AI
IMPACT Understanding tokenization is key for developers and users to grasp how LLMs process and generate text.
