摘要
Tokenizers play a critical role in large language model studies. Despite recent advances, existing tokenizers fail to explicitly leverage historical tokenization results when making subsequent token decisions, nor do they selectively utilize such history based on contextual relevance. We propose SPEAK, a tokenizer that integrates spiking neurons to explicitly leverage historical tokenization results. Furthermore, we introduce an entropy-aware reset mechanism that selectively leverages history based on contextual relevance, which is determined by token-level entropy. High-entropy tokens are treated as contextual boundaries, whereas low-entropy tokens between consecutive such boundaries exhibit strong contextual relevance. Accordingly, we induce hard reset at high-entropy tokens to discard irrelevant historical tokenization results, and soft reset at low-entropy tokens to preserve and leverage relevant history. Experiments on 2 language models and 5 datasets spanning 16 languages demonstrate superior cross-lingual adaptability, with competitive performance and efficiency. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/zju-bmi-lab/SPEAK.
