# Sanskrit BPE Tokenizer

This is a Byte-Pair Encoding (BPE) tokenizer specifically designed for Sanskrit text. It provides a web interface for both training the tokenizer and using it to encode/decode text.

## Features

- Train BPE tokenizer on custom Sanskrit text
- Tokenize Sanskrit text using the trained model
- Verify tokenization accuracy through decode/encode cycle
- User-friendly web interface

## Usage

1. Go to the "Train" tab and paste your Sanskrit training text
2. Click "Train Tokenizer" to train the model
3. Switch to the "Tokenize" tab to tokenize new text
4. Enter text and click "Tokenize" to see the results

## Example Text
```
चीराण्यपास्याज्जनकस्य कन्या नेयं प्रतिज्ञा मम दत्तपूर्वा।
यथासुखं गच्छतु राजपुत्री वनं समग्रा सह सर्वरत्नैः॥
```

# To deploy this to Hugging Face Spaces:

1. Create a new Space on Hugging Face:
```bash
huggingface-cli login
huggingface-cli repo create sanskrit-tokenizer-demo --type space
```
2. Initialize git and push your code:
```bash
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git remote add origin https://huggingface.co/spaces/your-username/sanskrit-tokenizer-demo
git push -u origin main
```

# Steps to Run Locally
1. Create and activate a virtual environment:
```bash
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
```

2. Install the requirements and the Hugging Face CLI:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install --upgrade huggingface-hub
```

4. To run the app:
```bash
python src/app.py
```
    The interface will be available at `http://localhost:7860` by default.
