Tokenizer

トークナイザーは、モデルの入力の準備を担当します。ライブラリには、すべてのモデルのトークナイザーが含まれています。ほとんど トークナイザーの一部は、完全な Python 実装と、 Rust ライブラリ 🤗 Tokenizers。 「高速」実装では次のことが可能になります。

1. 特にバッチトークン化を行う場合の大幅なスピードアップと
2. 元の文字列 (文字と単語) とトークン空間の間でマッピングする追加のメソッド (例: 特定の文字を含むトークンのインデックス、または特定のトークンに対応する文字の範囲）。

基本クラス PreTrainedTokenizer および PreTrainedTokenizerFast モデル入力の文字列入力をエンコードし (以下を参照)、Python をインスタンス化/保存するための一般的なメソッドを実装します。 ローカル ファイルまたはディレクトリ、またはライブラリによって提供される事前トレーニング済みトークナイザーからの「高速」トークナイザー (HuggingFace の AWS S3 リポジトリからダウンロード)。二人とも頼りにしているのは、 共通メソッドを含む PreTrainedTokenizerBase SpecialTokensMixin。

したがって、PreTrainedTokenizer と PreTrainedTokenizerFast はメインを実装します。 すべてのトークナイザーを使用するためのメソッド:

- トークン化 (文字列をサブワード トークン文字列に分割)、トークン文字列を ID に変換したり、その逆の変換を行ったりします。 エンコード/デコード (つまり、トークン化と整数への変換)。
- 基礎となる構造 (BPE、SentencePiece…) から独立した方法で、語彙に新しいトークンを追加します。
- 特別なトークン (マスク、文の始まりなど) の管理: トークンの追加、属性への割り当て。 トークナイザーにより、簡単にアクセスでき、トークン化中に分割されないようにすることができます。

BatchEncoding は、 PreTrainedTokenizerBase のエンコード メソッド (`__call__`、 `encode_plus` および `batch_encode_plus`) であり、Python 辞書から派生しています。トークナイザーが純粋な Python の場合 tokenizer の場合、このクラスは標準の Python 辞書と同じように動作し、によって計算されたさまざまなモデル入力を保持します。 これらのメソッド (`input_ids`、`attention_mask`…)。トークナイザーが「高速」トークナイザーである場合 (つまり、 HuggingFace トークナイザー ライブラリ)、このクラスはさらに提供します 元の文字列 (文字と単語) と トークンスペース (例: 指定された文字または対応する文字の範囲を構成するトークンのインデックスの取得) 与えられたトークンに）。

class transformers.PreTrainedTokenizer

< source >

( **kwargs )

Parameters

- model_max_length (`int`, optional) — The maximum length (in number of tokens) for the inputs to the transformer model. When the tokenizer is loaded with from_pretrained(), this will be set to the value stored for the associated model in `max_model_input_sizes` (see above). If no value is provided, will default to VERY_LARGE_INTEGER (`int(1e30)`).
- padding_side (`str`, optional) — The side on which the model should have padding applied. Should be selected between [‘right’, ‘left’]. Default value is picked from the class attribute of the same name.
- truncation_side (`str`, optional) — The side on which the model should have truncation applied. Should be selected between [‘right’, ‘left’]. Default value is picked from the class attribute of the same name.
- chat_template (`str`, optional) — A Jinja template string that will be used to format lists of chat messages. See https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/chat_templating for a full description.
- model_input_names (`List[string]`, optional) — The list of inputs accepted by the forward pass of the model (like `"token_type_ids"` or `"attention_mask"`). Default value is picked from the class attribute of the same name.
- bos_token (`str` or `tokenizers.AddedToken`, optional) — A special token representing the beginning of a sentence. Will be associated to `self.bos_token` and `self.bos_token_id`.
- eos_token (`str` or `tokenizers.AddedToken`, optional) — A special token representing the end of a sentence. Will be associated to `self.eos_token` and `self.eos_token_id`.
- unk_token (`str` or `tokenizers.AddedToken`, optional) — A special token representing an out-of-vocabulary token. Will be associated to `self.unk_token` and `self.unk_token_id`.
- sep_token (`str` or `tokenizers.AddedToken`, optional) — A special token separating two different sentences in the same input (used by BERT for instance). Will be associated to `self.sep_token` and `self.sep_token_id`.
- pad_token (`str` or `tokenizers.AddedToken`, optional) — A special token used to make arrays of tokens the same size for batching purpose. Will then be ignored by attention mechanisms or loss computation. Will be associated to `self.pad_token` and `self.pad_token_id`.
- cls_token (`str` or `tokenizers.AddedToken`, optional) — A special token representing the class of the input (used by BERT for instance). Will be associated to `self.cls_token` and `self.cls_token_id`.

- split_special_tokens (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not the special tokens should be split during the tokenization process. Passing will affect the internal state of the tokenizer. The default behavior is to not split special tokens. This means that if `<s>` is the `bos_token`, then `tokenizer.tokenize("<s>") = ['<s>`]. Otherwise, if `split_special_tokens=True`, then `tokenizer.tokenize("<s>")` will be give `['<','s', '>']`.

Base class for all slow tokenizers.

Inherits from PreTrainedTokenizerBase.

Handle all the shared methods for tokenization and special tokens as well as methods downloading/caching/loading pretrained tokenizers as well as adding tokens to the vocabulary.

BatchEncoding

Parameters

- text (`str`, `List[str]`, `List[List[str]]`, optional) — The sequence or batch of sequences to be encoded. Each sequence can be a string or a list of strings (pretokenized string). If the sequences are provided as list of strings (pretokenized), you must set `is_split_into_words=True` (to lift the ambiguity with a batch of sequences).
- text_pair (`str`, `List[str]`, `List[List[str]]`, optional) — The sequence or batch of sequences to be encoded. Each sequence can be a string or a list of strings (pretokenized string). If the sequences are provided as list of strings (pretokenized), you must set `is_split_into_words=True` (to lift the ambiguity with a batch of sequences).
- text_target (`str`, `List[str]`, `List[List[str]]`, optional) — The sequence or batch of sequences to be encoded as target texts. Each sequence can be a string or a list of strings (pretokenized string). If the sequences are provided as list of strings (pretokenized), you must set `is_split_into_words=True` (to lift the ambiguity with a batch of sequences).
- text_pair_target (`str`, `List[str]`, `List[List[str]]`, optional) — The sequence or batch of sequences to be encoded as target texts. Each sequence can be a string or a list of strings (pretokenized string). If the sequences are provided as list of strings (pretokenized), you must set `is_split_into_words=True` (to lift the ambiguity with a batch of sequences).
- add_special_tokens (`bool`, optional, defaults to `True`) — Whether or not to add special tokens when encoding the sequences. This will use the underlying `PretrainedTokenizerBase.build_inputs_with_special_tokens` function, which defines which tokens are automatically added to the input ids. This is usefull if you want to add `bos` or `eos` tokens automatically.
- padding (`bool`, `str` or PaddingStrategy, optional, defaults to `False`) — Activates and controls padding. Accepts the following values:
  - `True` or `'longest'`: Pad to the longest sequence in the batch (or no padding if only a single sequence if provided).
  - `'max_length'`: Pad to a maximum length specified with the argument `max_length` or to the maximum acceptable input length for the model if that argument is not provided.
  - `False` or `'do_not_pad'` (default): No padding (i.e., can output a batch with sequences of different lengths).
- truncation (`bool`, `str` or TruncationStrategy, optional, defaults to `False`) — Activates and controls truncation. Accepts the following values:
  - `True` or `'longest_first'`: Truncate to a maximum length specified with the argument `max_length` or to the maximum acceptable input length for the model if that argument is not provided. This will truncate token by token, removing a token from the longest sequence in the pair if a pair of sequences (or a batch of pairs) is provided.
  - `'only_first'`: Truncate to a maximum length specified with the argument `max_length` or to the maximum acceptable input length for the model if that argument is not provided. This will only truncate the first sequence of a pair if a pair of sequences (or a batch of pairs) is provided.
  - `'only_second'`: Truncate to a maximum length specified with the argument `max_length` or to the maximum acceptable input length for the model if that argument is not provided. This will only truncate the second sequence of a pair if a pair of sequences (or a batch of pairs) is provided.
  - `False` or `'do_not_truncate'` (default): No truncation (i.e., can output batch with sequence lengths greater than the model maximum admissible input size).
- max_length (`int`, optional) — Controls the maximum length to use by one of the truncation/padding parameters.

  If left unset or set to `None`, this will use the predefined model maximum length if a maximum length is required by one of the truncation/padding parameters. If the model has no specific maximum input length (like XLNet) truncation/padding to a maximum length will be deactivated.

- stride (`int`, optional, defaults to 0) — If set to a number along with `max_length`, the overflowing tokens returned when `return_overflowing_tokens=True` will contain some tokens from the end of the truncated sequence returned to provide some overlap between truncated and overflowing sequences. The value of this argument defines the number of overlapping tokens.
- is_split_into_words (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not the input is already pre-tokenized (e.g., split into words). If set to `True`, the tokenizer assumes the input is already split into words (for instance, by splitting it on whitespace) which it will tokenize. This is useful for NER or token classification.
- pad_to_multiple_of (`int`, optional) — If set will pad the sequence to a multiple of the provided value. Requires `padding` to be activated. This is especially useful to enable the use of Tensor Cores on NVIDIA hardware with compute capability `>= 7.5` (Volta).
- padding_side (`str`, optional) — The side on which the model should have padding applied. Should be selected between [‘right’, ‘left’]. Default value is picked from the class attribute of the same name.
- return_tensors (`str` or TensorType, optional) — If set, will return tensors instead of list of python integers. Acceptable values are:
  - `'tf'`: Return TensorFlow `tf.constant` objects.
  - `'pt'`: Return PyTorch `torch.Tensor` objects.
  - `'np'`: Return Numpy `np.ndarray` objects.
- return_token_type_ids (`bool`, optional) — Whether to return token type IDs. If left to the default, will return the token type IDs according to the specific tokenizer’s default, defined by the `return_outputs` attribute.

  What are token type IDs?

- return_attention_mask (`bool`, optional) — Whether to return the attention mask. If left to the default, will return the attention mask according to the specific tokenizer’s default, defined by the `return_outputs` attribute.

  What are attention masks?

- return_overflowing_tokens (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not to return overflowing token sequences. If a pair of sequences of input ids (or a batch of pairs) is provided with `truncation_strategy = longest_first` or `True`, an error is raised instead of returning overflowing tokens.
- return_special_tokens_mask (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not to return special tokens mask information.
- return_offsets_mapping (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not to return `(char_start, char_end)` for each token.

  This is only available on fast tokenizers inheriting from PreTrainedTokenizerFast, if using Python’s tokenizer, this method will raise `NotImplementedError`.

- return_length (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not to return the lengths of the encoded inputs.
- verbose (`bool`, optional, defaults to `True`) — Whether or not to print more information and warnings.
- **kwargs — passed to the `self.tokenize()` method

`Union[List[int], Dict]`

Parameters

- conversation (Union[List[Dict[str, str]], List[List[Dict[str, str]]]]) — A list of dicts with “role” and “content” keys, representing the chat history so far.
- tools (`List[Dict]`, optional) — A list of tools (callable functions) that will be accessible to the model. If the template does not support function calling, this argument will have no effect. Each tool should be passed as a JSON Schema, giving the name, description and argument types for the tool. See our chat templating guide for more information.
- documents (`List[Dict[str, str]]`, optional) — A list of dicts representing documents that will be accessible to the model if it is performing RAG (retrieval-augmented generation). If the template does not support RAG, this argument will have no effect. We recommend that each document should be a dict containing “title” and “text” keys. Please see the RAG section of the chat templating guide for examples of passing documents with chat templates.
- chat_template (`str`, optional) — A Jinja template to use for this conversion. It is usually not necessary to pass anything to this argument, as the model’s template will be used by default.
- add_generation_prompt (bool, optional) — If this is set, a prompt with the token(s) that indicate the start of an assistant message will be appended to the formatted output. This is useful when you want to generate a response from the model. Note that this argument will be passed to the chat template, and so it must be supported in the template for this argument to have any effect.
- continue_final_message (bool, optional) — If this is set, the chat will be formatted so that the final message in the chat is open-ended, without any EOS tokens. The model will continue this message rather than starting a new one. This allows you to “prefill” part of the model’s response for it. Cannot be used at the same time as `add_generation_prompt`.
- tokenize (`bool`, defaults to `True`) — Whether to tokenize the output. If `False`, the output will be a string.
- padding (`bool`, `str` or PaddingStrategy, optional, defaults to `False`) — Select a strategy to pad the returned sequences (according to the model’s padding side and padding index) among:
  - `True` or `'longest'`: Pad to the longest sequence in the batch (or no padding if only a single sequence if provided).
  - `'max_length'`: Pad to a maximum length specified with the argument `max_length` or to the maximum acceptable input length for the model if that argument is not provided.
  - `False` or `'do_not_pad'` (default): No padding (i.e., can output a batch with sequences of different lengths).
- truncation (`bool`, defaults to `False`) — Whether to truncate sequences at the maximum length. Has no effect if tokenize is `False`.
- max_length (`int`, optional) — Maximum length (in tokens) to use for padding or truncation. Has no effect if tokenize is `False`. If not specified, the tokenizer’s `max_length` attribute will be used as a default.
- return_tensors (`str` or TensorType, optional) — If set, will return tensors of a particular framework. Has no effect if tokenize is `False`. Acceptable values are:
  - `'tf'`: Return TensorFlow `tf.Tensor` objects.
  - `'pt'`: Return PyTorch `torch.Tensor` objects.
  - `'np'`: Return NumPy `np.ndarray` objects.
  - `'jax'`: Return JAX `jnp.ndarray` objects.
- return_dict (`bool`, defaults to `False`) — Whether to return a dictionary with named outputs. Has no effect if tokenize is `False`.
- tokenizer_kwargs (`Dict[str -- Any]`, optional): Additional kwargs to pass to the tokenizer.
- return_assistant_tokens_mask (`bool`, defaults to `False`) — Whether to return a mask of the assistant generated tokens. For tokens generated by the assistant, the mask will contain 1. For user and system tokens, the mask will contain 0. This functionality is only available for chat templates that support it via the `{% generation %}` keyword.
- **kwargs — Additional kwargs to pass to the template renderer. Will be accessible by the chat template.

Returns

`Union[List[int], Dict]`

A list of token ids representing the tokenized chat so far, including control tokens. This output is ready to pass to the model, either directly or via methods like `generate()`. If `return_dict` is set, will return a dict of tokenizer outputs instead.

Converts a list of dictionaries with `"role"` and `"content"` keys to a list of token ids. This method is intended for use with chat models, and will read the tokenizer’s chat_template attribute to determine the format and control tokens to use when converting.

The value of this argument defines the number of overlapping tokens.
- is_split_into_words (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not the input is already pre-tokenized (e.g., split into words).

We default it to `"5GB"` so that users can easily load models on free-tier Google Colab instances without any CPU OOM issues.
- create_pr (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not to create a PR with the uploaded files or directly commit.
- safe_serialization (`bool`, optional, defaults to `True`) — Whether or not to convert the model weights in safetensors format for safer serialization.
- revision (`str`, optional) — Branch to push the uploaded files to.
- commit_description (`str`, optional) — The description of the commit that will be created
- tags (`List[str]`, optional) — List of tags to push on the Hub.

Upload the tokenizer files to the 🤗 Model Hub.

convert_ids_to_tokens

< source >

( ids: typing.Union[int, typing.List[int]] skip_special_tokens: bool = False ) →
`str` or `List[str]`

Parameters

- ids (`int` or `List[int]`) — The token id (or token ids) to convert to tokens.
- skip_special_tokens (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not to remove special tokens in the decoding.

Returns

`str` or `List[str]`

The decoded token(s).

Converts a single index or a sequence of indices in a token or a sequence of tokens, using the vocabulary and added tokens.

####
convert_tokens_to_ids

< source >

( tokens: typing.Union[str, typing.List[str]] ) →
`int` or `List[int]`

Parameters

- tokens (`str` or `List[str]`) — One or several token(s) to convert to token id(s).

Returns

`int` or `List[int]`

The token id or list of token ids.

Converts a token string (or a sequence of tokens) in a single integer id (or a sequence of ids), using the vocabulary.

####
get_added_vocab

< source >

( ) →
`Dict[str, int]`

Returns

`Dict[str, int]`

The added tokens.

Returns the added tokens in the vocabulary as a dictionary of token to index. Results might be different from the fast call because for now we always add the tokens even if they are already in the vocabulary. This is something we should change.

####
num_special_tokens_to_add

< source >

( pair: bool = False ) →
`int`

Parameters

- pair (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether the number of added tokens should be computed in the case of a sequence pair or a single sequence.

Returns

`int`

Number of special tokens added to sequences.

Returns the number of added tokens when encoding a sequence with special tokens.

This encodes a dummy input and checks the number of added tokens, and is therefore not efficient. Do not put this inside your training loop.

####
prepare_for_tokenization

< source >

( text: str is_split_into_words: bool = False **kwargs ) →
`Tuple[str, Dict[str, Any]]`

Parameters

- text (`str`) — The text to prepare.
- is_split_into_words (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not the input is already pre-tokenized (e.g., split into words). If set to `True`, the tokenizer assumes the input is already split into words (for instance, by splitting it on whitespace) which it will tokenize. This is useful for NER or token classification.
- kwargs (`Dict[str, Any]`, optional) — Keyword arguments to use for the tokenization.

Returns

`Tuple[str, Dict[str, Any]]`

The prepared text and the unused kwargs.

Performs any necessary transformations before tokenization.

This method should pop the arguments from kwargs and return the remaining `kwargs` as well. We test the `kwargs` at the end of the encoding process to be sure all the arguments have been used.

####
tokenize

< source >

( text: str **kwargs ) →
`List[str]`

Parameters

- text (`str`) — The sequence to be encoded.
- **kwargs (additional keyword arguments) — Passed along to the model-specific `prepare_for_tokenization` preprocessing method.

Returns

`List[str]`

The list of tokens.

Converts a string into a sequence of tokens, using the tokenizer.

Split in words for word-based vocabulary or sub-words for sub-word-based vocabularies (BPE/SentencePieces/WordPieces). Takes care of added tokens.

###
class transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerFast

< source >

( *args **kwargs )

Parameters

- model_max_length (`int`, optional) — The maximum length (in number of tokens) for the inputs to the transformer model. When the tokenizer is loaded with from_pretrained(), this will be set to the value stored for the associated model in `max_model_input_sizes` (see above). If no value is provided, will default to VERY_LARGE_INTEGER (`int(1e30)`).
- padding_side (`str`, optional) — The side on which the model should have padding applied. Should be selected between [‘right’, ‘left’]. Default value is picked from the class attribute of the same name.
- truncation_side (`str`, optional) — The side on which the model should have truncation applied. Should be selected between [‘right’, ‘left’]. Default value is picked from the class attribute of the same name.
- chat_template (`str`, optional) — A Jinja template string that will be used to format lists of chat messages. See https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/chat_templating for a full description.
- model_input_names (`List[string]`, optional) — The list of inputs accepted by the forward pass of the model (like `"token_type_ids"` or `"attention_mask"`). Default value is picked from the class attribute of the same name.
- bos_token (`str` or `tokenizers.AddedToken`, optional) — A special token representing the beginning of a sentence. Will be associated to `self.bos_token` and `self.bos_token_id`.
- eos_token (`str` or `tokenizers.AddedToken`, optional) — A special token representing the end of a sentence. Will be associated to `self.eos_token` and `self.eos_token_id`.
- unk_token (`str` or `tokenizers.AddedToken`, optional) — A special token representing an out-of-vocabulary token. Will be associated to `self.unk_token` and `self.unk_token_id`.
- sep_token (`str` or `tokenizers.AddedToken`, optional) — A special token separating two different sentences in the same input (used by BERT for instance). Will be associated to `self.sep_token` and `self.sep_token_id`.
- pad_token (`str` or `tokenizers.AddedToken`, optional) — A special token used to make arrays of tokens the same size for batching purpose. Will then be ignored by attention mechanisms or loss computation. Will be associated to `self.pad_token` and `self.pad_token_id`.
- cls_token (`str` or `tokenizers.AddedToken`, optional) — A special token representing the class of the input (used by BERT for instance). Will be associated to `self.cls_token` and `self.cls_token_id`.
- mask_token (`str` or `tokenizers.AddedToken`, optional) — A special token representing a masked token (used by masked-language modeling pretraining objectives, like BERT). Will be associated to `self.mask_token` and `self.mask_token_id`.
- additional_special_tokens (tuple or list of `str` or `tokenizers.AddedToken`, optional) — A tuple or a list of additional special tokens. Add them here to ensure they are skipped when decoding with `skip_special_tokens` is set to True. If they are not part of the vocabulary, they will be added at the end of the vocabulary.
- clean_up_tokenization_spaces (`bool`, optional, defaults to `True`) — Whether or not the model should cleanup the spaces that were added when splitting the input text during the tokenization process.
- split_special_tokens (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not the special tokens should be split during the tokenization process. Passing will affect the internal state of the tokenizer. The default behavior is to not split special tokens. This means that if `<s>` is the `bos_token`, then `tokenizer.tokenize("<s>") = ['<s>`]. Otherwise, if `split_special_tokens=True`, then `tokenizer.tokenize("<s>")` will be give `['<','s', '>']`.
- tokenizer_object (`tokenizers.Tokenizer`) — A `tokenizers.Tokenizer` object from 🤗 tokenizers to instantiate from. See Using tokenizers from 🤗 tokenizers for more information.
- tokenizer_file (`str`) — A path to a local JSON file representing a previously serialized `tokenizers.Tokenizer` object from 🤗 tokenizers.

Base class for all fast tokenizers (wrapping HuggingFace tokenizers library).

Inherits from PreTrainedTokenizerBase.

Handles all the shared methods for tokenization and special tokens, as well as methods for downloading/caching/loading pretrained tokenizers, as well as adding tokens to the vocabulary.

This class also contains the added tokens in a unified way on top of all tokenizers so we don’t have to handle the specific vocabulary augmentation methods of the various underlying dictionary structures (BPE, sentencepiece…).

- model_input_names (`List[str]`) — A list of inputs expected in the forward pass of the model.
- padding_side (`str`) — The default value for the side on which the model should have padding applied. Should be `'right'` or `'left'`.
- truncation_side (`str`) — The default value for the side on which the model should have truncation applied. Should be `'right'` or `'left'`.

BatchEncoding

Parameters

- text (`str`, `List[str]`, `List[List[str]]`, optional) — The sequence or batch of sequences to be encoded. Each sequence can be a string or a list of strings (pretokenized string). If the sequences are provided as list of strings (pretokenized), you must set `is_split_into_words=True` (to lift the ambiguity with a batch of sequences).
- text_pair (`str`, `List[str]`, `List[List[str]]`, optional) — The sequence or batch of sequences to be encoded. Each sequence can be a string or a list of strings (pretokenized string). If the sequences are provided as list of strings (pretokenized), you must set `is_split_into_words=True` (to lift the ambiguity with a batch of sequences).
- text_target (`str`, `List[str]`, `List[List[str]]`, optional) — The sequence or batch of sequences to be encoded as target texts. Each sequence can be a string or a list of strings (pretokenized string). If the sequences are provided as list of strings (pretokenized), you must set `is_split_into_words=True` (to lift the ambiguity with a batch of sequences).
- text_pair_target (`str`, `List[str]`, `List[List[str]]`, optional) — The sequence or batch of sequences to be encoded as target texts. Each sequence can be a string or a list of strings (pretokenized string). If the sequences are provided as list of strings (pretokenized), you must set `is_split_into_words=True` (to lift the ambiguity with a batch of sequences).
- add_special_tokens (`bool`, optional, defaults to `True`) — Whether or not to add special tokens when encoding the sequences. This will use the underlying `PretrainedTokenizerBase.build_inputs_with_special_tokens` function, which defines which tokens are automatically added to the input ids. This is usefull if you want to add `bos` or `eos` tokens automatically.
- padding (`bool`, `str` or PaddingStrategy, optional, defaults to `False`) — Activates and controls padding. Accepts the following values:
  - `True` or `'longest'`: Pad to the longest sequence in the batch (or no padding if only a single sequence if provided).
  - `'max_length'`: Pad to a maximum length specified with the argument `max_length` or to the maximum acceptable input length for the model if that argument is not provided.
  - `False` or `'do_not_pad'` (default): No padding (i.e., can output a batch with sequences of different lengths).
- truncation (`bool`, `str` or TruncationStrategy, optional, defaults to `False`) — Activates and controls truncation. Accepts the following values:
  - `True` or `'longest_first'`: Truncate to a maximum length specified with the argument `max_length` or to the maximum acceptable input length for the model if that argument is not provided. This will truncate token by token, removing a token from the longest sequence in the pair if a pair of sequences (or a batch of pairs) is provided.
  - `'only_first'`: Truncate to a maximum length specified with the argument `max_length` or to the maximum acceptable input length for the model if that argument is not provided. This will only truncate the first sequence of a pair if a pair of sequences (or a batch of pairs) is provided.
  - `'only_second'`: Truncate to a maximum length specified with the argument `max_length` or to the maximum acceptable input length for the model if that argument is not provided. This will only truncate the second sequence of a pair if a pair of sequences (or a batch of pairs) is provided.
  - `False` or `'do_not_truncate'` (default): No truncation (i.e., can output batch with sequence lengths greater than the model maximum admissible input size).
- max_length (`int`, optional) — Controls the maximum length to use by one of the truncation/padding parameters.

  If left unset or set to `None`, this will use the predefined model maximum length if a maximum length is required by one of the truncation/padding parameters. If the model has no specific maximum input length (like XLNet) truncation/padding to a maximum length will be deactivated.

- stride (`int`, optional, defaults to 0) — If set to a number along with `max_length`, the overflowing tokens returned when `return_overflowing_tokens=True` will contain some tokens from the end of the truncated sequence returned to provide some overlap between truncated and overflowing sequences. The value of this argument defines the number of overlapping tokens.
- is_split_into_words (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not the input is already pre-tokenized (e.g., split into words). If set to `True`, the tokenizer assumes the input is already split into words (for instance, by splitting it on whitespace) which it will tokenize. This is useful for NER or token classification.
- pad_to_multiple_of (`int`, optional) — If set will pad the sequence to a multiple of the provided value. Requires `padding` to be activated. This is especially useful to enable the use of Tensor Cores on NVIDIA hardware with compute capability `>= 7.5` (Volta).
- padding_side (`str`, optional) — The side on which the model should have padding applied. Should be selected between [‘right’, ‘left’]. Default value is picked from the class attribute of the same name.
- return_tensors (`str` or TensorType, optional) — If set, will return tensors instead of list of python integers. Acceptable values are:
  - `'tf'`: Return TensorFlow `tf.constant` objects.
  - `'pt'`: Return PyTorch `torch.Tensor` objects.
  - `'np'`: Return Numpy `np.ndarray` objects.
- return_token_type_ids (`bool`, optional) — Whether to return token type IDs. If left to the default, will return the token type IDs according to the specific tokenizer’s default, defined by the `return_outputs` attribute.

  What are token type IDs?

- return_attention_mask (`bool`, optional) — Whether to return the attention mask. If left to the default, will return the attention mask according to the specific tokenizer’s default, defined by the `return_outputs` attribute.

  What are attention masks?

- return_overflowing_tokens (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not to return overflowing token sequences. If a pair of sequences of input ids (or a batch of pairs) is provided with `truncation_strategy = longest_first` or `True`, an error is raised instead of returning overflowing tokens.
- return_special_tokens_mask (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not to return special tokens mask information.
- return_offsets_mapping (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not to return `(char_start, char_end)` for each token.

  This is only available on fast tokenizers inheriting from PreTrainedTokenizerFast, if using Python’s tokenizer, this method will raise `NotImplementedError`.

- return_length (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not to return the lengths of the encoded inputs.
- verbose (`bool`, optional, defaults to `True`) — Whether or not to print more information and warnings.
- **kwargs — passed to the `self.tokenize()` method

`Union[List[int], Dict]`

Parameters

- conversation (Union[List[Dict[str, str]], List[List[Dict[str, str]]]]) — A list of dicts with “role” and “content” keys, representing the chat history so far.
- tools (`List[Dict]`, optional) — A list of tools (callable functions) that will be accessible to the model. If the template does not support function calling, this argument will have no effect. Each tool should be passed as a JSON Schema, giving the name, description and argument types for the tool. See our chat templating guide for more information.
- documents (`List[Dict[str, str]]`, optional) — A list of dicts representing documents that will be accessible to the model if it is performing RAG (retrieval-augmented generation). If the template does not support RAG, this argument will have no effect. We recommend that each document should be a dict containing “title” and “text” keys. Please see the RAG section of the chat templating guide for examples of passing documents with chat templates.
- chat_template (`str`, optional) — A Jinja template to use for this conversion. It is usually not necessary to pass anything to this argument, as the model’s template will be used by default.
- add_generation_prompt (bool, optional) — If this is set, a prompt with the token(s) that indicate the start of an assistant message will be appended to the formatted output. This is useful when you want to generate a response from the model. Note that this argument will be passed to the chat template, and so it must be supported in the template for this argument to have any effect.
- continue_final_message (bool, optional) — If this is set, the chat will be formatted so that the final message in the chat is open-ended, without any EOS tokens. The model will continue this message rather than starting a new one. This allows you to “prefill” part of the model’s response for it. Cannot be used at the same time as `add_generation_prompt`.
- tokenize (`bool`, defaults to `True`) — Whether to tokenize the output. If `False`, the output will be a string.
- padding (`bool`, `str` or PaddingStrategy, optional, defaults to `False`) — Select a strategy to pad the returned sequences (according to the model’s padding side and padding index) among:
  - `True` or `'longest'`: Pad to the longest sequence in the batch (or no padding if only a single sequence if provided).
  - `'max_length'`: Pad to a maximum length specified with the argument `max_length` or to the maximum acceptable input length for the model if that argument is not provided.
  - `False` or `'do_not_pad'` (default): No padding (i.e., can output a batch with sequences of different lengths).
- truncation (`bool`, defaults to `False`) — Whether to truncate sequences at the maximum length. Has no effect if tokenize is `False`.
- max_length (`int`, optional) — Maximum length (in tokens) to use for padding or truncation. Has no effect if tokenize is `False`. If not specified, the tokenizer’s `max_length` attribute will be used as a default.
- return_tensors (`str` or TensorType, optional) — If set, will return tensors of a particular framework. Has no effect if tokenize is `False`. Acceptable values are:
  - `'tf'`: Return TensorFlow `tf.Tensor` objects.
  - `'pt'`: Return PyTorch `torch.Tensor` objects.
  - `'np'`: Return NumPy `np.ndarray` objects.
  - `'jax'`: Return JAX `jnp.ndarray` objects.
- return_dict (`bool`, defaults to `False`) — Whether to return a dictionary with named outputs. Has no effect if tokenize is `False`.
- tokenizer_kwargs (`Dict[str -- Any]`, optional): Additional kwargs to pass to the tokenizer.
- return_assistant_tokens_mask (`bool`, defaults to `False`) — Whether to return a mask of the assistant generated tokens. For tokens generated by the assistant, the mask will contain 1. For user and system tokens, the mask will contain 0. This functionality is only available for chat templates that support it via the `{% generation %}` keyword.
- **kwargs — Additional kwargs to pass to the template renderer. Will be accessible by the chat template.

Returns

`Union[List[int], Dict]`

A list of token ids representing the tokenized chat so far, including control tokens. This output is ready to pass to the model, either directly or via methods like `generate()`. If `return_dict` is set, will return a dict of tokenizer outputs instead.

Converts a list of dictionaries with `"role"` and `"content"` keys to a list of token ids. This method is intended for use with chat models, and will read the tokenizer’s chat_template attribute to determine the format and control tokens to use when converting.

`List[int]`, `torch.Tensor`, `tf.Tensor` or `np.ndarray`

Parameters

- text (`str`, `List[str]` or `List[int]`) — The first sequence to be encoded. This can be a string, a list of strings (tokenized string using the `tokenize` method) or a list of integers (tokenized string ids using the `convert_tokens_to_ids` method).

- max_length (`int`, optional) — Controls the maximum length to use by one of the truncation/padding parameters.

  If left unset or set to `None`, this will use the predefined model maximum length if a maximum length is required by one of the truncation/padding parameters. If the model has no specific maximum input length (like XLNet) truncation/padding to a maximum length will be deactivated.

- stride (`int`, optional, defaults to 0) — If set to a number along with `max_length`, the overflowing tokens returned when `return_overflowing_tokens=True` will contain some tokens from the end of the truncated sequence returned to provide some overlap between truncated and overflowing sequences. The value of this argument defines the number of overlapping tokens.
- is_split_into_words (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether or not the input is already pre-tokenized (e.g., split into words). If set to `True`, the tokenizer assumes the input is already split into words (for instance, by splitting it on whitespace) which it will tokenize. This is useful for NER or token classification.
- pad_to_multiple_of (`int`, optional) — If set will pad the sequence to a multiple of the provided value. Requires `padding` to be activated. This is especially useful to enable the use of Tensor Cores on NVIDIA hardware with compute capability `>= 7.5` (Volta).
- padding_side (`str`, optional) — The side on which the model should have padding applied. Should be selected between [‘right’, ‘left’]. Default value is picked from the class attribute of the same name.
- return_tensors (`str` or TensorType, optional) — If set, will return tensors instead of list of python integers. Acceptable values are:
  - `'tf'`: Return TensorFlow `tf.constant` objects.
  - `'pt'`: Return PyTorch `torch.Tensor` objects.
  - `'np'`: Return Numpy `np.ndarray` objects.
- **kwargs — Passed along to the `.tokenize()` method.

Returns

`List[int]`, `torch.Tensor`, `tf.Tensor` or `np.ndarray`

The tokenized ids of the text.

Converts a string to a sequence of ids (integer), using the tokenizer and vocabulary.

Same as doing `self.convert_tokens_to_ids(self.tokenize(text))`.

Parameters

- repo_id (`str`) — The name of the repository you want to push your tokenizer to. It should contain your organization name when pushing to a given organization.
- use_temp_dir (`bool`, optional) — Whether or not to use a temporary directory to store the files saved before they are pushed to the Hub. Will default to `True` if there is no directory named like `repo_id`, `False` otherwise.
- commit_message (`str`, optional) — Message to commit while pushing. Will default to `"Upload tokenizer"`.
- private (`bool`, optional) — Whether to make the repo private. If `None` (default), the repo will be public unless the organization’s default is private. This value is ignored if the repo already exists.
- token (`bool` or `str`, optional) — The token to use as HTTP bearer authorization for remote files. If `True`, will use the token generated when running `huggingface-cli login` (stored in `~/.huggingface`). Will default to `True` if `repo_url` is not specified.
