Text Tokenizer Training

Large language models suffer from under-trained tokens because the tokenizer is trained independently.

Automatically Detecting Under-trained Tokens in Large Language Models

Analyzing the tokenizer's vocabulary and its encoding/decoding behavior, detecting untrained token candidates using metrics like the similarity between the embedding matrix and the final model layer.

Fishing for Magikarp: Automatically Detecting Under-trained Tokens...

The disconnect between tokenizer creation and model training in language models has been known to allow for certain inputs, such as the infamous SolidGoldMagikarp token, to induce unwanted...
