Research code for pixel-based encoders of language (PIXEL)

PIXEL helps natural language processing engineers and researchers build AI models that understand text by looking at it as an image, rather than relying on a fixed set of words. This means you can input text in virtually any language or script your computer can display, and it will output language embeddings or reconstructed text. It's especially useful for working with languages and scripts that are less commonly found in typical AI training data.

346 stars. No commits in the last 6 months.

Use this if you need to process text in a wide variety of scripts and languages, especially those not well-represented in standard vocabulary-based language models.

Not ideal if your primary focus is on Latin-script languages like English, where traditional models like BERT might offer slightly stronger performance.
