New boundary marker proposed for subword tokenizers to improve language modeling

Researchers have proposed an alternative to standard whitespace conventions for subword tokenizers, introducing an explicit word boundary marker. This new method aims to prevent the duplication of common words that occur with and without leading spaces, which currently leads to separate embeddings and independent training in models. While the proposed marker scheme does not significantly improve tokenization compression, it has demonstrated better language modeling performance, with all tested schemes achieving lower bits per byte than the baseline.
