💡 Pro tip: This is one of those techniques that will make you look like a data science wizard! Basic Text Tokenization - Made Simple!

Text tokenization forms the foundation of NLP by splitting raw text into individual tokens. This process transforms unstructured text data into a sequence of meaningful units that can be processed by machine learning models, enabling fundamental natural language understanding tasks.

This next part is really neat! Here’s how we can tackle this:

def basic_tokenizer(text):
    # Remove punctuation and convert to lowercase
    cleaned_text = ''.join(char.lower() for char in text if char.isalnum() or char.isspace())
    
    # Split into tokens
    tokens = cleaned_text.split()
    
    # Example usage
    return tokens

# Example
text = "Hello, World! This is a basic tokenization example."
tokens = basic_tokenizer(text)
print(f"Original text: {text}")
print(f"Tokenized result: {tokens}")

# Output:
# Original text: Hello, World! This is a basic tokenization example.
# Tokenized result: ['hello', 'world', 'this', 'is', 'a', 'basic', 'tokenization', 'example']

🎉 You’re doing great! This concept might seem tricky at first, but you’ve got this! Word Tokenization with NLTK - Made Simple!

NLTK provides smart tokenization capabilities that handle various edge cases and linguistic nuances. This example shows you how to use NLTK’s word_tokenize function while preserving important linguistic features and handling multiple languages.

Let’s break this down together! Here’s how we can tackle this:

import nltk
from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize
nltk.download('punkt')

def advanced_word_tokenizer(text, language='english'):
    # Tokenize text while preserving linguistic features
    tokens = word_tokenize(text, language=language)
    
    return tokens

# Example with multiple languages
english_text = "Don't hesitate to use NLTK's features!"
french_text = "L'exemple est très simple."

english_tokens = advanced_word_tokenizer(english_text)
french_tokens = advanced_word_tokenizer(french_text, language='french')

print(f"English tokens: {english_tokens}")
print(f"French tokens: {french_tokens}")

# Output:
# English tokens: ['Do', "n't", 'hesitate', 'to', 'use', 'NLTK', "'s", 'features', '!']
# French tokens: ['L', "'", 'exemple', 'est', 'très', 'simple', '.']

✨ Cool fact: Many professional data scientists use this exact approach in their daily work! Subword Tokenization Using BPE - Made Simple!

Byte Pair Encoding (BPE) is a subword tokenization algorithm that identifies and uses common subword units. This example shows you the core BPE algorithm, which iteratively merges the most frequent adjacent byte pairs to create a vocabulary of subword tokens.

This next part is really neat! Here’s how we can tackle this:

from collections import defaultdict
import re

def get_stats(vocab):
    pairs = defaultdict(int)
    for word, freq in vocab.items():
        symbols = word.split()
        for i in range(len(symbols)-1):
            pairs[symbols[i], symbols[i+1]] += freq
    return pairs

def merge_vocab(pair, v_in):
    v_out = {}
    bigram = ' '.join(pair)
    replacement = ''.join(pair)
    for word, freq in v_in.items():
        w_out = word.replace(bigram, replacement)
        v_out[w_out] = freq
    return v_out

# Example usage
vocab = {'l o w </w>': 5, 'l o w e r </w>': 2, 'n e w e s t </w>': 6}
num_merges = 10

for i in range(num_merges):
    pairs = get_stats(vocab)
    if not pairs:
        break
    best = max(pairs, key=pairs.get)
    vocab = merge_vocab(best, vocab)
    print(f"Merge #{i+1}: {best} -> {''.join(best)}")
    print(f"Vocabulary: {vocab}\n")

🚀 Performance Optimization for Large-Scale Tokenization - Made Simple!

When dealing with large text corpora, tokenization performance becomes crucial. This example focuses on optimizing tokenization speed and memory usage through parallel processing and efficient data structures.

Ready for some cool stuff? Here’s how we can tackle this:

import multiprocessing as mp
from typing import List, Iterator
from itertools import islice
import time
import numpy as np
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor
import mmap

class OptimizedTokenizer:
    def __init__(self, 
                 batch_size: int = 1000,
                 num_workers: int = None,
                 cache_size: int = 10000):
        self.batch_size = batch_size
        self.num_workers = num_workers or mp.cpu_count()
        self.cache_size = cache_size
        self.token_cache = {}
        
    def _process_batch(self, texts: List[str]) -> List[List[str]]:
        results = []

            if text in self.token_cache:
                results.append(self.token_cache[text])
                continue
                
            # Tokenize and cache result
            tokens = text.split()
            if len(self.token_cache) < self.cache_size:
                self.token_cache[text] = tokens
            results.append(tokens)
            
        return results
    
    def tokenize_parallel(self, texts: Iterator[str]) -> Iterator[List[str]]:
        def chunks(iterable, size):
            iterator = iter(iterable)
            return iter(lambda: list(islice(iterator, size)), [])

🚀 Context-Aware Tokenization - Made Simple!

Context-aware tokenization considers surrounding text to resolve ambiguous cases and improve tokenization accuracy. This example uses sliding windows and contextual rules to make informed tokenization decisions.

Let’s make this super clear! Here’s how we can tackle this:

            r'\b\w+\'(s|ve|re|ll|d)\b': 'keep',
            r'\b\d+\.\d+\b': 'keep',  # decimals
            r'\b[A-Z]\.[A-Z]\b': 'keep'  # initials
        }
        
    def _get_context_window(self, tokens: List[str], position: int) -> List[str]:
        start = max(0, position - self.window_size)
        end = min(len(tokens), position + self.window_size + 1)
        return tokens[start:end]
    
    def _apply_contextual_rules(self, token: str, context: List[str]) -> List[str]:
        lower_token = token.lower()
        
        # Handle abbreviations
        if lower_token in self.abbreviations:
            return [token]
            
        # Apply contextual patterns
        for pattern, action in self.contextual_rules.items():
            if re.match(pattern, token):

                    return re.findall(r"[\w']+", token)
                return [token]
                
        # Handle ambiguous periods
        if token.endswith('.'):
            next_token = context[len(context)//2 + 1] if len(context) > len(context)//2 + 1 else ''
            if next_token and next_token[0].isupper():
                return [token[:-1], '.']

        final_tokens = []
        buffer = deque(maxlen=self.window_size*2 + 1)

        return final_tokens
    
    def analyze_context(self, text: str) -> List[Dict]:

                'rule_applied': self._identify_applied_rule(token)
            })
            
        return analysis

    def _identify_applied_rule(self, token: str) -> str:
        lower_token = token.lower()
        if lower_token in self.abbreviations:
            return 'abbreviation'

                return f'pattern_match: {pattern}'
                
        return 'default_tokenization'

# Example usage

    "Mr. Smith couldn't attend the meeting at 3.45 P.M.",
    "The company's C.E.O. will visit Dr. Jones tomorrow.",
    "She's working at Inc. as a prof. since Jan. 2023."
