10 Questions
1

What is Tokenization in natural language processing?

2

What is the primary drawback of naive Word-Level Tokenization (e.g., splitting on spaces)?

3

What is the primary drawback of purely Character-Level Tokenization?

4

How does Byte-Pair Encoding (BPE, Sennrich et al., 2016) construct its subword vocabulary?

5

How does WordPiece tokenization (used in BERT) select token merges differently from BPE?

6

What prefix does BERT's WordPiece tokenizer attach to denote that a subword is a continuation of a word rather than the start?

7

How does SentencePiece (Kudo & Richardson, 2018) treat whitespace, making it language-independent?

8

What is Byte-level BPE (used in GPT-2, GPT-3, GPT-4, and LLaMA)?

9

What is the typical vocabulary size chosen for modern Large Language Models (e.g., LLaMA, Mistral, GPT-4)?

10

What is 'Token Healing' (e.g., in Guidance or text generation engines)?
