Introduction to Tokenization

The moment I truly understood tokenization was not when I read about it in a textbook, but when I watched a production NLP pipeline fail catastrophically because of an edge case the tokenizer could not handle. After two decades of building enterprise systems, I have learned that tokenization—the seemingly simple act of breaking text into […]
