This tokenizer serves as a foundational tool for Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks involving Tamazight, streamlining the development of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Machine Translation systems.
You can easily integrate this tokenizer into your Python projects to process Tamazight text. Ensure you have the sentencepiece library installed and download the tokenizer.model file from this repository.
