What is Tokenizer?
It is a tool that divides texts into small numerical pieces that artificial intelligence can understand.
Overview
Tokenizer is a basic tool that converts texts into numerical pieces that AI can process. Artificial intelligence understands words not as a whole, but through the numerical equivalents of these parts.
How it works
When text is entered, the tokenizer splits it into pieces called 'tokens'. These tokens are then converted into vectors that the AI can digitally process.
Where it is used
It is the gateway to all major language models. Once you start talking to a chatbot, everything you type is first processed by the tokenizer.
Commonly confused with
It is simply confused with the word breaker; whereas tokenizer can sometimes split a word into several parts and sometimes split several words into a single token.
Frequently asked questions
What is a token?
It is the processing unit of the model; It is usually a part of a word or a punctuation mark.
Why don't we use direct words?
Because processing numerical data is much faster and more efficient than dealing with the complex structure of words.
