bpelib 0.1.3

Installation

Install with pip:

pip install bpelib

pip uninstall bpelib

Usage

Import the BPE class.

from bpelib import bpe

Learn encoding on construct or at a later time:

bpe = BPE(['start', 'learning', 'now'])
# or ...
bpe.learn_encoding(['start', 'learning', 'now'])

To encode or decode a word, simply call the BPE object.

encoded = bpe('encode')  # '<w/> e n c o d e </w>'
decoded = bpe(encoded)  # 'encode'
assert 'encode' == decoded

You can call encode or decode explicitly, too.

encoded = bpe.encode('encode')  # '<w/> e n c o d e </w>'
decoded = bpe.decode(encoded)  # 'encode'
assert 'encode' == decoded

You can also specify maximum vocabulary size and the used encoding.

bpe = BPE(max_vocab_size=1024, encoding='ascii')
