About The Project

While working with BERT Models from Huggingface in combination with ML.NET, I stumbled upon several challenges. I documented them in here.
However, the biggest challenge by far was that I needed to implement my own tokenizer and pair them with the correct vocabulary. So, I decided to extend it and publish my implementation as a NuGet package and an open-source project. More info about this project can be found in this blog post.

This repository contains tokenizers for following models:
· BERT Base
· BERT Large
· BERT German
· BERT Multilingual
· BERT Base Uncased
· BERT Large Uncased

There are also clases using which you can upload your own vocabulary.

Getting Started

The project is available as NuGet package.

Installation

To add BERT Tokenizers to your project use dotnet command:

dotnet add package BERTTokenizers

Or install it with package manager:
Install-Package BERTTokenizers

Usage

For example, you want to use Huggingface BERT Base Model whose input is defined like this:

public class BertInput
{
    [VectorType(1, 256)]
    [ColumnName("input_ids")]
    public long[] InputIds { get; set; }

    [VectorType(1, 256)]
    [ColumnName("attention_mask")]
    public long[] AttentionMask { get; set; }

    [VectorType(1, 256)]
    [ColumnName("token_type_ids")]
    public long[] TypeIds { get; set; }
}

For this you need to encode sentences like this:

var sentence = "I love you";

var tokenizer = new BertBaseTokenizer();

var encoded = tokenizer.Encode(256, sentence);

var bertInput = new BertInput()
                {
                    InputIds = encoded.Select(t => t.InputIds).ToArray(),
                    AttentionMask = encoded.Select(t => t.AttentionMask).ToArray(),
                    TypeIds = encoded.Select(t => t.TokenTypeIds).ToArray()
                };
