Drawing an analogy to Byte Pair Encoding (BPE) in NLP, we can think of tokenization as merging adjacent actions to form new, higher-level tokens. Tokenizing User Interactions : Not all raw user actions contribute equally to understanding preferences. Tokenization helps define what constitutes a meaningful token in a sequence.
