High performance tokenizers for Rust

This crate contains implementation of common tokenizers used in state-of-the-art language models. It is usd as the reference tokenization crate of rust-bert, exposing modern transformer-based models such as BERT, RoBERTa, GPT2, BART, XLNet…

The following tokenizers have been implemented and validated against a Python reference implementation:

Sentence Piece (unigram model)
BERT
DistilBERT
RoBERTa
GPT
GPT2
CTRL
ProphetNet
XLNet
Pegasus
MBart50

The library is structured into vocabularies (for the encoding and decoding of the tokens and registration of special tokens) and tokenizers (splitting the input text into tokens). Generally, a tokenizer will contain a reference vocabulary that may be used as part of the tokenization process (for example, containing a list of subwords or merges).

Usage example

use rust_tokenizers::adapters::Example;
use rust_tokenizers::tokenizer::{BertTokenizer, Tokenizer, TruncationStrategy};
use rust_tokenizers::vocab::{BertVocab, Vocab};
let vocab_path = "path/to/vocab";
let vocab = BertVocab::from_file(&vocab_path)?;

let test_sentence = Example::new_from_string("This is a sample sentence to be tokenized");
let bert_tokenizer: BertTokenizer = BertTokenizer::from_existing_vocab(vocab, true, true);

println!(
    "{:?}",
    bert_tokenizer.encode(
        &test_sentence.sentence_1,
        None,
        128,
        &TruncationStrategy::LongestFirst,
        0
    )
);
