Abstract

The Functionalizer presents a lossless pre-tokenizer framework that improves subword tokenization by factoring orthographic and structural variations into a compositional opcode/operand prefix stream.

Reality Card

Core Claim

The Functionalizer reduces vocabulary slot requirements by up to 16% while maintaining text coherence and improving code syntax validity.

Method / Result

Reduces actual vocabulary slot requirements by up to 16%.

Limitations

Preliminary evaluations were conducted on a specific model scale (25M parameter GPT-2), which may limit generalizability.
