Arabic BPE Tokenization Using Google Sentance Piece.

Natural Language Processing is a branch of AI. One of the first steps in any NLP system is language model encoding. The challenge is how to present/encode the words efficiently. Sub-word encoding is very suitable to arabic. For example the word مدرساتهم will not be considered a single token/word, but split into three; مدرس, ات, and هم. This is the basic intuition. This process is done automatically without any rules or preprocessing.
