# Icelandic Tokenizer README
## Overview
This BPE (Byte Pair Encoding) tokenizer is designed for the Icelandic GPT model, available at [Sigurdur/ice-gpt](https://huggingface.co/Sigurdur/ice-gpt). Trained on the Icelandic Gigaword Corpus ({IGC}-2022) - annotated version, it excels in accurately segmenting Icelandic text into meaningful tokens.
## Usage
Integrate this tokenizer into your NLP pipeline for preprocessing Icelandic text. The following example demonstrates basic usage:
```python
from transformers import GPT2Tokenizer
# Load the tokenizer
tokenizer = GPT2Tokenizer.from_pretrained("Sigurdur/ice-tokenizer")
tokenizer.pad_token_id = tokenizer.eos_token_id
tokenizer("Halló heimur!")["input_ids"]
```
