Finance BPE Tokenizer (Fine-tuned on Finance-Instruct-500k)

Model Overview

This repository contains a Byte-Pair Encoding (BPE) tokenizer fine-tuned on the Finance-Instruct-500k dataset, starting from the base model yakul259/english-bpe-tokenizer-60k.
It is tailored for financial domain text processing, capturing domain-specific terminology and patterns while maintaining efficient subword segmentation.

Key Features:

• Custom <cls> and <sep> special tokens.
• BPE subword segmentation optimized for financial vocabulary.
• Template-based post-processing for both single and paired sequences.
• Configured decoding using the BPE decoder for accurate reconstruction of financial text.
