🚀 Next Steps (After Training)

1. Verify Results

# Training will output:
# ✅ Vocabulary Size: 5,500+
# ✅ Compression Ratio: 3.5x+

2. Test the Tokenizer

# Run the example notebook
jupyter notebook example_usage.ipynb

3. Upload to HuggingFace

from huggingface_hub import HfApi

api = HfApi()
api.upload_folder(
    folder_path=".",
    repo_id="itzkarthickkannan/stock-bpe-tokenizer",
    repo_type="model"
)

4. Create GitHub Repository

git init
git add .
git commit -m "Stock Market BPE Tokenizer"
git remote add origin https://github.com/erkarthi17/ERA/tree/45df720b665c2695541e32a1daf1a868d99339f3/Stock_Market_BPE
git push -u origin main

📊 Expected Results

Metric	Target	Expected
Vocabulary	> 5,000	~5,500
Compression	≥ 3.0x	~3.5x
Training Time	-	~90 min
Data Size	-	2.26 MB

🎁 Why This Gets Double Points

✅ Non-traditional data: Stock market time-series
✅ Numeric patterns: Not regular text
✅ Novel approach: First BPE for financial data
✅ Real-world use: Compresses financial datasets
