"""
MorPiece is a split-based tokenization library that incrementally chunks words into potentially meaningful morphemes. The splitting procedure consists of evaluating if the Tolerance Principle (Yang 2016) applies at every character every time an incoming word "traverses" the lexicon. 

Take the word "cats": a root "trie" (c->a->t->s) and a inflectional trie (s->t->a->c) are considered. 
In the default mode (token-based) "traversal" the lexicon means adding 1 to each node counter that is traversed both in the root trie and in the inflectional trie. If a path does not exists, it is initialized to 1. 
The type-based "traversal" modality updates the node counter only when new types are observed.
A split between "t" and "s" is pustulated if and only if both in the root trie and in the infl trie the tolerance principle is respected, that is: 
freq(t)/ln(freq(t) > freq(s) in the root trie and
freq(s)/ln(freq(s) > freq(t) in the infl trie
if this is the case, the "s" pendant (in this case just "s") is added to the root trie, under the "++" node.

At the end, all nodes that does not have a frequency above min_freq parameter are pruned.
MaxLength strategy is adopted to retrieve the tokens for each word.

Since version 1.4.* a type-based tokenization option is implemented ('type_based = true')

If the "order or acquisition" (ooa) parameter is set to True, each 100K of exposure a vocabulary is created to check splitting hypotheses postulated and the evidence needed (for research purposes)

NOTE: by default (char_coverage=0.99) the most frequent characters are added to the final vocabulary at the end of training, each in both its root ("c") and inflectional ("++c") form, up to 99% of character occurrences. This gives one token per glyph (ideal for CJK — "中文" -> "中" "++文"), works identically in the exported HuggingFace WordPiece tokenizer, and leaves the WordPiece segmentation of known words unchanged. The added tokens are baked into the saved tokenizer, so char_coverage need not be set when loading a trained tokenizer.

Examples:

    import tokenizer_MorPiece as MoP

    mop = MoP.MorPiece(vocab_size=vocab_size, cutoff=cutoff, min_suffix_stems=3, min_frequency=min_frequency, ooa=ooa, use_tokenizers_lib=True)
    mop.train(text)
    mop.save('./mop_tokenizer/tokenizer.json')

    s = "test sentence"
    print("Sentence to tokenize: " + s)
    ids, tokens = mp.encode(s)
    print(ids, tokens)

Todo:

    - Multi word evaluation before splitting

        Parameters
        ----------
        vocab_size : int
            Maximum vocabulary size (default 30000).
        min_frequency : int
            Minimum token frequency to survive final pruning (default 10).
        cutoff : int
            Minimum mother-node frequency before TP is evaluated.  Nodes below
            this threshold are ignored (default 100).  Acts as the principal
            guard against splits at low-evidence positions.
        ooa : bool
            Save Order-of-Acquisition vocabulary snapshots (default True).
        use_tokenizers_lib : bool
            Use HuggingFace tokenizers for normalisation and pre-tokenisation.
        type_based : bool
            Update trie counts once per type instead of once per token.

            ⚠ STRUCTURAL LIMITATION for morphologically rich languages:
            In type_based mode, trie counts equal the number of distinct types
            sharing a path prefix — NOT token frequencies.  For Italian with
            ~200 K types, paradigm-segment counts (e.g. "cantav-") are only
            5–15 types.  The TP threshold tp = m / log(m) sits at ~3–7, and
            the daughter count d must exceed tp.  This barely succeeds at best.

            In TOKEN-BASED mode (type_based=False) the same segment sees
            5 000–20 000 tokens across all its forms; the threshold sits at
            ~1 000–1 500 and is easily cleared.  For Italian morphological
            tokenization, type_based=False is strongly recommended.

        use_speaker_tokens : bool
            Detect and replace line-initial "A:"–"E:" labels with <speaker_X>
            special tokens.  Mid-word labels ("INCIDAZIONE:") are left untouched.
        childes_speaker_tokens : bool
            Detect line-initial CHILDES / CHAT speaker tiers ("*CHI:", "*MOT:",
            "*INVESTIGATOR:" …) and keep each one as a single atomic special
            token instead of letting the pre-tokeniser shred it into
            "*" + "chi" + ":".  Detection is pattern-based and registers any
            speaker code it meets; CHILDES_SPEAKER_CODES seeds the common ones.
            Default True — harmless on non-CHAT corpora, where the line-initial
            "*code:" pattern simply does not occur.
        min_suffix_stems : int
            Minimum distinct root stems a ++ suffix must derive from (default 3).
            Prunes coincidental character overlaps (e.g. "nto" from only "lento").
        ooa_type_interval : int
            Types between OOA snapshots in type_based mode (default 1000).
        ooa_token_interval : int
            Amount of `counter_unit` between OOA snapshots / incremental-cleaning
            passes in TOKEN-based mode (and in --boundaries_discovery).  Default
            100000.  Previously hard-coded to 100000 tokens.
        counter_unit : str
            Unit in which token-based OOA exposure is accumulated:
            'tokens' (default; one increment per processed token — exactly the
            previous behaviour), 'chars' (UTF-8 characters), or 'syllables'
            (approximate vowel-group / per-CJK-glyph count).  The syllable is the
            most cross-linguistically comparable measure of input quantity
            (Räsänen et al. 2019, 2021), so for EN-vs-IT parity prefer
            counter_unit='syllables' over a fixed word-token interval.  Applies
            to the token-based and boundary-discovery snapshot schedules only;
            type_based snapshots remain measured in types via ooa_type_interval.
        special_tokens : list or None
            Reserved tokens; defaults to the standard set.

        Rationale (v1.4.5): rather than a byte fallback (which shreds each CJK
        glyph into 3 UTF-8 byte tokens), we add the actual *characters* — one
        token per glyph.  For every frequent character we make sure BOTH forms
        exist:
          • root form          "c"   (word-initial)
          • inflectional form  "++c" (word-internal / continuation)
        so e.g. "中文你好" tokenises as ["中", "++文", "++你", "++好"] — and,
        because these are ordinary single-character vocab entries, the SAME
        thing happens in the exported HuggingFace WordPiece tokenizer (no model
        change, no fragmentation).

        Character frequencies are token-weighted over the (alphabetic) word
        types, so coverage is measured over real character occurrences.  This
        runs AFTER __optimize, so it only ADDS vocabulary entries and never
        changes how already-known words are segmented (a word that contains
        none of the newly-added characters is untouched; for a word that does,
        the deeper greedy match still wins, so Latin segmentation — and the
        SIGMORPHON behaviour — is unchanged).  The added tokens are written into
        self.roots, so they are saved with the tokenizer and present on reload.

        Controlled by `char_coverage` (default 0.99): set to 0/None to disable.

        Unigram runs Viterbi over per-token scores, so (unlike BPE) it needs no
        merge chains and can use ANY subset of the vocab. It loads with a bare
        AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(dir) — no trust_remote_code, no custom .py.

        MAXIMISING token clustering within a word: Viterbi maximises the SUM of
        piece scores, and any score that is linear in length sums to the (fixed)
        word length for every partition — so it cannot prefer one segmentation
        over another. We therefore score each token SUPERLINEARLY in its length,
        score = len**cluster_power (+ a small frequency tie-break). With
        cluster_power>1 a single long piece beats the sum of its parts
        (5**2=25 > 3**2+2**2=13), so Viterbi concentrates characters into the
        longest available morpheme. Byte tokens get a large negative score
        (last resort only).

        Caveat: a stock model matches token SURFACE strings against the text, and
        MorPiece "++X" continuation tokens never appear literally in the surface,
        so they are exported by their SURFACE form ("++ed" -> "ed") and the "++"
        glue is dropped. The inflection-vs-root distinction therefore exists only
        in the native tokenizer, not in this export.
