+ Version 2, June 1991

+

+ Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
5
+ 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
6
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
7
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
8
+
9
+ Preamble
10
+
11
+ The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
12
+ freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
13
+ License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
14
+ software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
15
+ General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
16
+ Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
17
+ using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
18
+ the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
19
+ your programs, too.
20
+
21
+ When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
22
+ price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
23
+ have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
24
+ this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
25
+ if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
26
+ in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
27
+
28
+ To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
29
+ anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
30
+ These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
31
+ distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
32
+
33
+ For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
34
+ gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
35
+ you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
36
+ source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
37
+ rights.
38
+
39
+ We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
40
+ (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
41
+ distribute and/or modify the software.
42
+
43
+ Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
44
+ that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
45
+ software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
46
+ want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
47
+ that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
48
+ authors' reputations.
49
+
50
+ Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
51
+ patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
52
+ program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
53
+ program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
54
+ patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
55
+
56
+ The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
57
+ modification follow.
58
+
59
+ GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
60
+ TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
61
+
62
+ 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
63
+ a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
64
+ under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
65
+ refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
66
+ means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
67
+ that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
68
+ either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
69
+ language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
70
+ the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
71
+
72
+ Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
73
+ covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
74
+ running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
75
+ is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
76
+ Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
77
+ Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
78
+
79
+ 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
80
+ source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
81
+ conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
82
+ copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
83
+ notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
84
+ and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
85
+ along with the Program.
86
+
87
+ You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
88
+ you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
89
+
90
+ 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
91
+ of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
92
+ distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
93
+ above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
94
+
95
+ a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
96
+ stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
97
+
98
+ b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
99
+ whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
100
+ part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
101
+ parties under the terms of this License.
102
+
103
+ c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
104
+ when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
105
+ interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
106
+ announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
107
+ notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
108
+ a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
109
+ these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
110
+ License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
111
+ does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
112
+ the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
113
+
114
+ These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
115
+ identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
116
+ and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
117
+ themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
118
+ sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
119
+ distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
120
+ on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
121
+ this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
122
+ entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
123
+
124
+ Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
125
+ your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
126
+ exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
127
+ collective works based on the Program.
128
+
129
+ In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
130
+ with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
131
+ a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
132
+ the scope of this License.
133
+
134
+ 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
135
+ under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
136
+ Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
137
+
138
+ a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
139
+ source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
140
+ 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
141
+
142
+ b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
143
+ years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
144
+ cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
145
+ machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
146
+ distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
147
+ customarily used for software interchange; or,
148
+
149
+ c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
150
+ to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
151
+ allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
152
+ received the program in object code or executable form with such
153
+ an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
154
+
155
+ The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
156
+ making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
157
+ code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
158
+ associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
159
+ control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
160
+ special exception, the source code distributed need not include
161
+ anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
162
+ form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
163
+ operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
164
+ itself accompanies the executable.
165
+
166
+ If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
167
+ access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
168
+ access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
169
+ distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
170
+ compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
171
+
172
+ 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
173
+ except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
174
+ otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
175
+ void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
176
+ However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
177
+ this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
178
+ parties remain in full compliance.
179
+
180
+ 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
181
+ signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
182
+ distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
183
+ prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
184
+ modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
185
+ Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
186
+ all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
187
+ the Program or works based on it.
188
+
189
+ 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
190
+ Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
191
+ original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
192
+ these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
193
+ restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
194
+ You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
195
+ this License.
196
+
197
+ 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
198
+ infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
199
+ conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
200
+ otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
201
+ excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
202
+ distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
203
+ License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
204
+ may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
205
+ license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
206
+ all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
207
+ the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
208
+ refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
209
+
210
+ If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
211
+ any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
212
+ apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
213
+ circumstances.
214
+
215
+ It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
216
+ patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
217
+ such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
218
+ integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
219
+ implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
220
+ generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
221
+ through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
222
+ system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
223
+ to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
224
+ impose that choice.
225
+
226
+ This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
227
+ be a consequence of the rest of this License.
228
+
229
+ 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
230
+ certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
231
+ original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
232
+ may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
233
+ those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
234
+ countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
235
+ the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
236
+
237
+ 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
238
+ of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
239
+ be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
240
+ address new problems or concerns.
241
+
242
+ Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
243
+ specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
244
+ later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
245
+ either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
246
+ Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
247
+ this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
248
+ Foundation.
249
+
250
+ 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
251
+ programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
252
+ to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
253
+ Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
254
+ make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
255
+ of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
256
+ of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
257
+
258
+ NO WARRANTY
259
+
260
+ 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
261
+ FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
262
+ OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
263
+ PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
264
+ OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
265
+ MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
266
+ TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
267
+ PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
268
+ REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
269
+
270
+ 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
271
+ WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
272
+ REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
273
+ INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
274
+ OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
275
+ TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
276
+ YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
277
+ PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
278
+ POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
279
+
280
+ END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
281
+
282
+ How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
283
+
284
+ If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
285
+ possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
286
+ free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
287
+
288
+ To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
289
+ to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
290
+ convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
291
+ the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
292
+
293
+ <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
294
+ Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
295
+
296
+ This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
297
+ it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
298
+ the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
299
+ (at your option) any later version.
300
+
301
+ This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
302
+ but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
303
+ MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
304
+ GNU General Public License for more details.
305
+
306
+ You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
307
+ with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
308
+ 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
309
+
310
+ Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
311
+
312
+ If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
313
+ when it starts in an interactive mode:
314
+
315
+ Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
316
+ Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
317
+ This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
318
+ under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
319
+
320
+ The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
321
+ parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
322
+ be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
323
+ mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
324
+
325
+ You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
326
+ school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
327
+ necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
328

+ # Tokenizer
2
+
3
+ Finetune here to talk a bit about [NovelAI](https://novelai.net/)'s new tokenizer that I worked on. First a quick reminder. In most cases, our models don't see words as individual letters. Instead, text is broken down into tokens, which are words or word fragments. For example, the sentence “`The quick brown fox jumps over the goblin.`” would tokenize as “`The| quick| brown| fox| jumps| over| the| go|bl|in.`” in the Pile tokenizer used by GPT-NeoX 20B and Krake, with each | signifying a boundary between tokens.
4
+
5
+ When deciding on a tokenizer for a model, there are various criteria to consider. The first and most obvious is the vocabulary size. It may be tempting to just set it very high to ensure that every word or even multiple words, as in the case of the tokenizer used by AI21's Jurassic models, gets its own distinct token. However, this has the drawback that the model will be less able to generalize. That means it will not be able to make use of meaningful patterns in how words are spelt, such as similarities between words ending in “-ize”. It will also be less robust against misspellings. At the same time, the vocabulary of the tokenizer should not be too small. Common words should have their own token. The same goes for Unicode characters that are likely to show up in tokenized texts, because otherwise they will have to be constructed by the model byte-by-byte, which is much harder for the model. A good trade-off with regards to vocabulary size is around 32000 tokens for a single language vocabulary. This also has the benefit of fitting easily within 16 bits, which makes handling tokenized data easier in many cases.
6
+
7
+ The type of tokenizer is another important decision to make. Unigram tokenizers have been shown to produce much more meaningful tokenizations of words, while so far the predominantly used tokenizer type for large language models (LLM) is BPE (byte pair encoding). The most common implementation of BPE is probably the GPT2 one, but Google's sentencepiece implementation of BPE offers the not so slight advantage of natively being able to tokenize Unicode characters directly, without having to assemble them from bytes, which requires additional tokens representing partial Unicode code points to be added to the vocabulary, wasting some additional space. For example, “🙂” consists of four bytes “`F0 9F 99 82`”, so in traditional BPE, `F0` would first get merged with `9F` to make up `F09F`, which is then merged with `99` to make up `F09F99`, which is then merged with `82`, so two additional intermediate tokens would have to be added to the vocabulary. At the same time, sentencepiece also supports tokenizing arbitrary binary data using byte tokens.
8
+

+ Finally, the compression ratio achieved by the tokenizer is important to consider. If a given text tokenizes into less tokens, this will allow the LLM to see more text at once, given the fixed size of context it can see at a maximum, which is important for users of the LLm. It will also influence how much text you need to achieve a certain amount of tokens if, say, you are trying to meet a certain amount of training data. If your tokenizer compresses text less efficiently, you may more easily achieve a dataset of a given size, but it stands to reason that a model trained on such a less efficiently tokenized dataset of a given size will learn less than one trained of on a same sized dataset that was tokenized with a tokenizer that achieves a higher compression ratio, because in effect, it will see less bits of actually information during training.
10
+
11
+ With all these things in mind, we decided that we want our own tokenizer for the models we will train, that is better optimized for our use cases, such as storytelling.
12
+
13
+ Tokenizers are trained on data, so we started by extracting small randomized subsets from the various distinct subsets of our model training dataset and used these to evaluate the available tokenizer training approaches. Both Huggingface's tokenizers library and Google's sentencepiece support training tokenizers of different types. A preliminary investigation showed that sentencepiece's trainer is more memory efficient, although a training dataset in the low double digit gibibytes still required a compute node with 1TB of RAM to run successfully. Due to this, we decided to use sentencepiece.
14

15
+ We originally decided on a vocabulary size of 32000, but when training Genji V2, we found that modifying an existing tokenizer to support an additional language was not a pleasant experience. As it seems likely that we will want to do similar [language transfer learning](https://blog.novelai.net/data-efficient-language-transfer-with-gpt-j-45daedaaf35a) in the future, we have decided to have our tokenizer accommodate both English and Japanese from the start. For this reason, we decided to double the vocabulary size to 64000, which then was close to filling up the available token ID space of 16 bits, so we went all the way to a vocabulary size of 65535 tokens. During tokenizer training, I carefully balanced the training data in such a way that latin alphabet tokens of a length of at least 2 characters and Japanese language tokens take up approximately the same amount of token space. Bumping the vocabulary size up to 65535 also allows more Unicode character tokens such as emoji. For the Japanese part of tokenizer training data, we used our existing Genji training data and a comparatively smaller amount of Japanese Wikipedia.
16
+
17
+ We have manually added tokens for certain multi-whitespace strings and have set up the tokenizer in such a way that numbers are tokenized digit by digit. Tokenizing numbers digit by digit may slightly reduce compression ratio in number heavy texts, but it will also allow the LLM to more effectively learn how to handle numeric values.
18
+
19
+ Considering the possible benefits of Unigram tokenizers, we started out by training a Unigram tokenizer. This took multiple runs of rebalancing the dataset between languages and also between the different subsets of our main datasets to get the token distribution to look the way we want. Each Unigram training run took a few hours. For the sake of comparison, we also trained a BPE model, which again required multiple runs to rebalance the dataset. BPE runs ended up much slower, taking nearly a whole day.
20
+
21
+ Both tokenizers were then evaluated on a held-out part of the dataset. The idea was that, if the compression ratios are similar or Unigram is only slightly worse, we would use the Unigram tokenizer to benefit from the more natural word segmentation. We found that the BPE tokenizer has a 25-29% higher compression ratio on the largest parts of our English language dataset. This unexpectedly large gap in performance led us to choose the BPE tokenizer over the Unigram one and also explains the continuing prevalence of BPE tokenizers for LLMs. We also compared the compression ratio of our tokenizer to the LLaMa tokenizer, which is a sentencepiece based BPE tokenizer with a 32000 token vocabulary. In comparison to the LLaMa tokenizer, we find our tokenizer to achieve a 7-19% higher compression ratio on the largest parts of our English language dataset.
22
+
23
+ Finally, I would like to give some stats about token distribution. Our tokenizer contains 28586 tokens made up of latin alphabet characters with a minimum length of two. Tokens with a leading space are included in this. It contains 18123 Japanese tokens longer than a single character and 9626 tokens for Japanese and Chinese characters, which cannot be easily told apart for the sake of these stats due to the Unicode han unification. 9200 other tokens are included. This space is taken up mostly by Unicode characters such as emoji.
24
+
25
+ For comparison, the LLaMa tokenizer contains 23964 tokens made up only of latin alphabet characters, no Japanese token longer than a single character, 836 Japanese characters and 7224 other tokens.

+ ## V2
32
+
33
+ For [V2](https://huggingface.co/NovelAI/nerdstash-tokenizer-v2/), the original digit special tokens were replaced with english contractions. Digits will therefore be encoded using corresponding the byte tokens instead.

+ # Example usage with transformers
36
+
37
+ Since it seems to be the most up-to-date class for using sentencepiece tokenizers in transformers, this tokenizer uses the `LlamaTokenizer` class. Note that the `LlamaTokenizerFast` class is not supported. `AutoTokenizer` selects the fast version and is also not supported.
38
+
39
+ ```python
40
+ from transformers import LlamaTokenizer
41
+
42
+ tokenizer = LlamaTokenizer.from_pretrained("NovelAI/nerdstash-tokenizer-v2")
43
+
44
+ print(tokenizer.encode("Hello, world!"))
45
+ ```
46
+
47
+ ## Example usage with sentencepiece
48
+
49
+ ```python
50
+ import sentencepiece as spm
51
+
52
+ s = spm.SentencePieceProcessor(model_file='tokenizer.model')
53
+
54
+ text = "The quick brown fox jumps over the goblin."
55
+
56
+ print("Text:", text)
57
+
58
+ print("Token IDs:", s.encode(text))
59
+ # Token IDs: [541, 1939, 6573, 22820, 22734, 712, 336, 34477, 49230]
60
+
61
+ print("Readable tokens:", s.encode(text, out_type=str))
62
+ # Readable tokens: ['The', '▁quick', '▁brown', '▁fox', '▁jumps', '▁over', '▁the', '▁goblin', '.']
63
+ ```
