TokShop @ #ICML2025 got way more submissions than expected! 📈 We could really use a few more reviewers to help out. If you have the capacity to review a #tokenization paper by Saturday, please fill out this form: forms.gle/32A6sQHQrMSb... 🙏

📣 We extend the submission deadline by 24 hours to avoid conflict with ACL camera-ready deadline.

📅 New Submission Deadline: May 31, 2025 (23:59 AoE)

Got a good tokenization paper under review at COLM, but the scores were a letdown? 😬

Why bother with rebuttal when the perfect venue is right around the corner!

Submit your paper to the #ICML2025 Tokenization Workshop (TokShop) by May 30! 🚀

Beyond text: Modern AI tokenizes images too! Vision models split photos into patches, treating each 16x16 pixel square as a "token." 🖼️➡️🔤 #VisualTokenization

Language matters: Low-resource languages are severely overtokenized: While English uses ~1.2 tokens per word, e.g., Tamil requires more tokens than characters, making #LLMs much costlier for billions of speakers! 💸🌍
