BPE

BPE (Byte Pair Encoding) is a data compression technique used to reduce the size of text by replacing frequently occurring pairs of characters with single, unused characters.

How does GPT handle out-of-vocabulary or rare words?

GPT uses a technique called Byte Pair Encoding (BPE) to handle out-of-vocabulary or rare words. This method breaks down words into smaller subword units, allowing GPT to generate meaningful predictions even for unseen words. By leveraging a large training dataset, GPT learns to associate subword units with their correct meaning, enabling it to handle rare words effectively.
