BERTTokenizers 1.0.5

BERTTokenizer for C# About The Project While working with BERT Models from Huggingface in combination with ML.NET, I stumbled upon several challenges. I documented them in here.</br> However, the biggest challenge by far was that I needed to implement my own tokenizer and pair them with the correct vocabulary. So, I decided to extend it and publish my implementation as an open-source implementation.

This repository contains tokenizers for the following models: · BERT Base · BERT Large · BERT German · BERT Multilingual · BERT Base Uncased · BERT Large Uncased

Built With .NET 5 Getting Started The project is available as a NuGet package.

Installation To add BERT Tokenizers to your project use dotnet command:

dotnet add BERTTokenizers Or install it with the package manager:

Install-Package BERTTokenizers Usage For example, you want to use Huggingface BERT Base Model whose input is defined like this:

public class BertInput { [VectorType(1, 256)] [ColumnName("input_ids")] public long[] InputIds { get; set; }

[VectorType(1, 256)]
[ColumnName("attention_mask")]
public long[] AttentionMask { get; set; }

[VectorType(1, 256)]
[ColumnName("token_type_ids")]
public long[] TypeIds { get; set; }

}

For this you need to encode sentences like this:

var sentence = "I love you";

var tokenizer = new BertBaseTokenizer();

var encoded = tokenizer.Encode(256, sentence);

var bertInput = new BertInput() { InputIds = encoded.InputIds, AttentionMask = encoded.AttentionMask, TypeIds = encoded.TokenTypeIds, };
