Tokenization concept description
Tokenization is the process of breaking a document or a piece of text into smaller units called tokens.
In the context of natural language processing (NLP) and computational linguistics, a token typically represents a word, punctuation mark, or any other meaningful subunit of the text.
For example, consider the following sentence: "Tokenization is an important step in NLP!" After tokenization, the sentence may be broken down into individual tokens as follows:
