arXiv:2511. 20849v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce a new tokenizer for language models that minimizes the average tokens per character, thereby reducing the number of tokens needed to represent text during training and to generate text during inference.

arXiv:2601. 22170v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) process and predict sequences containing text to answer questions, and address tasks including document summarization, providing recommendations, writing software and solving quantitative problems.

arXiv:2506. 15138v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Tokenization directly affects the inference efficiency of large language models, since fragmented tokenization increases sequence length and generation cost.

arXiv:2607. 23319v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Standard subword tokenization algorithms such as Byte-Pair Encoding (BPE) and SentencePiece are trained predominantly on modern language corpora and produce inefficient segmentations when applied to classical Indian languages.

arXiv:2505. 14411v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Existing time series tokenization methods predominantly encode a constant number of samples into individual tokens.
