Text tokenizers optimized for sparse retrieval.

Installation

python -m pip install text2tok

# (optional) enabling ICU-based tokenizers
apt install pkg-config libicu-dev
python -m pip install --no-binary=:pyicu: pyicu

Usage

from text2tok import reg_tokenize, icu_tokenize, BPETokenizer, BERTTokenizer

text_list = [
    "去過中國science院，覺得it's pretty good。",
    "I'm having a state-of-the-art \"whopper\" at Mendy's and James'.",
    "I can’t ‘admire’ such a 'beautiful' dog.",
    "最多容納59,000個人,或5.9萬人,坪數對人數為1:3.",
]

cache_dir = "/root/hf_cache"
bpe_model = "Qwen/Qwen3-8B"
bert_model = "google-bert/bert-base-multilingual-cased"

tokenizer_list = [
    ("REG", reg_tokenize),
    ("ICU", icu_tokenize),
    ("BPE", BPETokenizer(bpe_model, cache_dir=cache_dir)),
    ("BRT", BERTTokenizer(bert_model, cache_dir=cache_dir)),
]

for text in text_list:
    print(f"{text}")
    for name, tokenize in tokenizer_list:
