These types represent all the different kinds of input that a Tokenizer accepts when using encode_batch().

TextEncodeInput

Represents a textual input for encoding. Can be either:

• A single sequence: TextInputSequence
• A pair of sequences:
  • A Tuple of TextInputSequence
  • Or a List of TextInputSequence of size 2

alias of Union[str, Tuple[str, str], List[str]].

PreTokenizedEncodeInput

Represents a pre-tokenized input for encoding. Can be either:

• A single sequence: PreTokenizedInputSequence
• A pair of sequences:
  • A Tuple of PreTokenizedInputSequence
  • Or a List of PreTokenizedInputSequence of size 2

alias of Union[List[str], Tuple[str], Tuple[Union[List[str], Tuple[str]], Union[List[str], Tuple[str]]], List[Union[List[str], Tuple[str]]]].

EncodeInput

Represents all the possible types of input for encoding. Can be:

• When is_pretokenized=False: TextEncodeInput
• When is_pretokenized=True: PreTokenizedEncodeInput

alias of Union[str, Tuple[str, str], List[str], Tuple[str], Tuple[Union[List[str], Tuple[str]], Union[List[str], Tuple[str]]], List[Union[List[str], Tuple[str]]]].
