Kinyarwanda tokenizer for encoding and decoding Kinyarwanda language text

Kin-Tokenizer

kin-tokenizer is a Python library designed for tokenizing Kinyarwanda language text. It can both encode and decode text in Kinyarwanda, it has a vocabulary size of 20,257.

Installation

You can install the package using pip:

pip install kin-tokenizer

Basis Usage

from kin_tokenizer import KinTokenizer  # Importing Tokenizer class

# Creating an instance of tokenizer
tokenizer = KinTokenizer()

# Loading the state of the tokenizer (pretrained tokenizer)
tokenizer.load()

# Encoding
text = "Nagiye gusura inshuti zanjye dusoma ibitabo"
tokens = tokenizer.encode(text)
print(tokens)

# Decoding
decoded_text = tokenizer.decode(tokens)
print(decoded_text)

# Printing the vocab size
print(tokenizer.vocab_size)

# Print vocabulary (first 1000 items)
count = 0
for k, v in tokenizer.vocab.items():
    print("{} : {}".format(k, v))
    count += 1
    if count > 1000:
        break

Training Your Own Tokenizer

You can also train your own tokenizer using the utils module, which provides two functions: a training function and a function for creating sequences after encoding your text.

from kin_tokenizer import KinTokenizer
from kin_tokenizer.utils import train_kin_tokenizer, create_sequences

# Training the tokenizer
tokenizer = train_kin_tokenizer(training_text, vocab_size=512, save=True, tokenizer_path=SAVE_PATH_ROOT)

# Creating sequences
x_seq, y_seq = create_sequences(tokens, seq_len=128)
