-# EthioBBPE: Byte-Level BPE Tokenizer
-
-This is a Byte-Level BPE (BBPE) tokenizer trained using Hugging Face's `tokenizers` library. It handles diverse Unicode scripts and complex morphological structures seamlessly.
-
-## Features
-
-- **Byte-Level Encoding**: Robust against unknown characters, ensuring no `<UNK>` tokens
-- **Universal Script Support**: Handles any Unicode character efficiently
-- **Hugging Face Compatible**: Directly usable with `transformers` models
-- **Efficient**: Fast encoding/decoding with optimized C++ backend
-
-## Installation
+# EthioBBPE
+
+A robust, production-ready Byte-Level BPE (BBPE) tokenizer training environment built with Hugging Face's `tokenizers` library. EthioBBPE provides a flexible framework for training high-quality tokenizers on any text corpus, optimized for handling diverse Unicode scripts and complex morphological structures.
+
+## ✨ Features
+
+- **Byte-Level Encoding**: Handles any Unicode character seamlessly, eliminating unknown token (`<unk>`) issues.
+- **End-to-End Pipeline**: From raw text corpus to a ready-to-use `tokenizer.json`.
+- **Hugging Face Compatible**: Directly usable with `transformers` models.
+- **Flexible Configuration**: Customize vocabulary size, minimum frequency, and special tokens.
+- **Multi-Format Support**: Train on `.txt`, `.json`, or `.jsonl` datasets.
+
+## 📦 Installation
 
 ```bash
-pip install tokenizers
+pip install -r requirements.txt
 ```
 
-## Usage
+## 🚀 Quick Start
 
-### Load the Tokenizer
+### 1. Prepare Your Data
+Place your training corpus (raw text files) in the `data/` directory.
+```text
+data/
+├── corpus_1.txt
+├── corpus_2.txt
+└── corpus_3.txt
+```
+
+### 2. Train the Tokenizer
 
+**Using CLI:**
+```bash
+python scripts/train_tokenizer.py \
+    --data_dir ./data \
+    --model_name EthioBBPE \
+    --vocab_size 32000 \
+    --min_frequency 2 \
+    --special_tokens "[PAD]","[UNK]","[CLS]","[SEP]","[MASK]"
+```
+
+**Using Python API:**
 ```python
-from tokenizers import Tokenizer
+from scripts.bbpe_trainer import BBPETrainer, BBPEConfig
 
-# Load from Hugging Face Hub
-tokenizer = Tokenizer.from_pretrained("Nexuss0781/Ethio-BBPE")
+# Configure
+config = BBPEConfig(
+    vocab_size=32000,
+    min_frequency=2,
+    show_progress=True,
+    special_tokens=["[PAD]", "[UNK]", "[CLS]", "[SEP]", "[MASK]"]
+)
 
-# Encode text
+trainer = BBPETrainer(config=config, model_name="EthioBBPE")
+trainer.train_from_directory("./data")
+trainer.save("./models/EthioBBPE")
+
+# Test it
 text = "Hello world! This is a test."
-encoded = tokenizer.encode(text)
+tokens = trainer.tokenize(text)
+print(f"Tokens: {tokens}")
+```
+
+### 3. Load and Use
 
-print(f"Token IDs: {encoded.ids}")
-print(f"Tokens: {encoded.tokens}")
+```python
+from tokenizers import Tokenizer
+
+# Load the trained tokenizer
+tokenizer = Tokenizer.from_file("models/EthioBBPE/tokenizer.json")
+
+# Encode
+encoded = tokenizer.encode("Hello world this is a test")
+print(encoded.ids)
+print(encoded.tokens)
 
-# Decode back
+# Decode
 decoded = tokenizer.decode(encoded.ids)
-print(f"Decoded: {decoded}")
+print(decoded)
 ```
 
-### Using with Transformers
+## 🏗️ Architecture
+
+The `EthioBBPE` architecture follows these steps:
+1. **Pre-tokenization**: Splits text into words while preserving byte-level integrity.
+2. **Byte Conversion**: Converts all characters into their byte representations.
+3. **BPE Training**: Learns merge operations based on frequency in the corpus.
+4. **Vocabulary Creation**: Generates a fixed-size vocabulary of byte-level tokens.
+

+
+## 🤗 Hugging Face Hub Integration
 
+The trained tokenizer can be easily shared and loaded via the Hugging Face Hub.
+
+### Loading from Hub
 ```python
-from transformers import AutoTokenizer
+from tokenizers import Tokenizer
 
-# Load as a fast tokenizer
-tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Nexuss0781/Ethio-BBPE", use_fast=True)
+# Load directly from the Hub
+tokenizer = Tokenizer.from_pretrained("Nexuss0781/Ethio-BBPE")
 
-# Tokenize
-inputs = tokenizer("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.")
-print(inputs)
+# Encode text
+output = tokenizer.encode("Hello world this is a test")
+print(output.tokens)
 ```
 
-## Training Details
+### Uploading Your Own Trained Model
+If you have trained a custom version, you can upload it using the `huggingface_hub` library:
 
-- **Model Type**: Byte-Level BPE
-- **Vocabulary Size**: 30,000 tokens
-- **Minimum Frequency**: 2
-- **Special Tokens**: `[PAD]`, `[UNK]`, `[CLS]`, `[SEP]`, `[MASK]`

+# EthioBBPE Tokenizer
+
+This is a production-ready Byte-Level BPE tokenizer trained for robust text processing.
+
+## Features
+- **Byte-Level**: Handles any Unicode character without <UNK>.
+- **Compressed Storage**: Supports gzip compression for efficient deployment.
+- **Checkpointing**: Built-in safety checkpoints during training.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Transformers
+```python
+from transformers import AutoTokenizer
+
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("{path.name}")
+```
+
+### Tokenizers Library
+```python
+from tokenizers import Tokenizer
+
+tokenizer = Tokenizer.from_file("tokenizer.json")
+```
+
+## Training Configuration
+```json
+{json.dumps(asdict(self.config), indent=2)}
