Benchmarking Lexer Against Hugging Face Transformer

Objective:

To evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our custom Lexer in comparison to the Hugging Face transformer, we will create a benchmark that measures speed, memory usage, and the quality of context representation.

Tasks:

• Set up a Python environment with the necessary Hugging Face transformers library and dependencies.
• Develop a Python script to tokenize and vectorize text using the Hugging Face transformer.
• Include additional context calculations in the Python script, such as entropy, whitespace, variance, etc.
• Create a mechanism within Unity to call the Python script and capture its output.
• Design the benchmark to measure the processing time, output size, and context quality for both systems.
• Ensure the benchmark tests are repeatable and consistent across multiple runs.
• Document the benchmark process, including setup, execution, and result interpretation.

Acceptance Criteria:

• The benchmark should accurately measure and compare the performance of our Lexer and the Hugging Face transformer.
• Results should highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each approach in terms of speed, efficiency, and context representation.
• The benchmarking process should be well-documented and easily reproducible for future testing and development.

This ticket will guide the development of a comprehensive benchmarking suite that will inform our decision-making process regarding text processing tools within our project.
