class LukeTokenizer(PreTrainedTokenizer):
    """
    Constructs a LUKE tokenizer, derived from the GPT-2 tokenizer, using byte-level Byte-Pair-Encoding.

    This tokenizer has been trained to treat spaces like parts of the tokens (a bit like sentencepiece) so a word will
    be encoded differently whether it is at the beginning of the sentence (without space) or not:

    ```python
    >>> from transformers import LukeTokenizer

    >>> tokenizer = LukeTokenizer.from_pretrained("studio-ousia/luke-base")
    >>> tokenizer("Hello world")["input_ids"]
    [0, 31414, 232, 2]

    >>> tokenizer(" Hello world")["input_ids"]
    [0, 20920, 232, 2]
    ```

    You can get around that behavior by passing `add_prefix_space=True` when instantiating this tokenizer or when you
    call it on some text, but since the model was not pretrained this way, it might yield a decrease in performance.

    <Tip>

    When used with `is_split_into_words=True`, this tokenizer will add a space before each word (even the first one).

    </Tip>

    This tokenizer inherits from [`PreTrainedTokenizer`] which contains most of the main methods. Users should refer to
    this superclass for more information regarding those methods. It also creates entity sequences, namely
    `entity_ids`, `entity_attention_mask`, `entity_token_type_ids`, and `entity_position_ids` to be used by the LUKE
    model.

    Args:
        vocab_file (`str`):
            Path to the vocabulary file.
        merges_file (`str`):
            Path to the merges file.
        entity_vocab_file (`str`):
            Path to the entity vocabulary file.
        task (`str`, *optional*):
            Task for which you want to prepare sequences. One of `"entity_classification"`,
            `"entity_pair_classification"`, or `"entity_span_classification"`. If you specify this argument, the entity
            sequence is automatically created based on the given entity span(s).
        max_entity_length (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 32):
            The maximum length of `entity_ids`.
        max_mention_length (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 30):
            The maximum number of tokens inside an entity span.
        entity_token_1 (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `<ent>`):
            The special token used to represent an entity span in a word token sequence. This token is only used when
            `task` is set to `"entity_classification"` or `"entity_pair_classification"`.
        entity_token_2 (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `<ent2>`):
            The special token used to represent an entity span in a word token sequence. This token is only used when
            `task` is set to `"entity_pair_classification"`.
        errors (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"replace"`):
            Paradigm to follow when decoding bytes to UTF-8. See
            [bytes.decode](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytes.decode) for more information.
        bos_token (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"<s>"`):
            The beginning of sequence token that was used during pretraining. Can be used a sequence classifier token.

            <Tip>

            When building a sequence using special tokens, this is not the token that is used for the beginning of
            sequence. The token used is the `cls_token`.

            </Tip>

        eos_token (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"</s>"`):
            The end of sequence token.

            <Tip>

            When building a sequence using special tokens, this is not the token that is used for the end of sequence.
            The token used is the `sep_token`.

            </Tip>

        sep_token (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"</s>"`):
            The separator token, which is used when building a sequence from multiple sequences, e.g. two sequences for
            sequence classification or for a text and a question for question answering. It is also used as the last
            token of a sequence built with special tokens.
        cls_token (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"<s>"`):
            The classifier token which is used when doing sequence classification (classification of the whole sequence
            instead of per-token classification). It is the first token of the sequence when built with special tokens.
        unk_token (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"<unk>"`):
            The unknown token. A token that is not in the vocabulary cannot be converted to an ID and is set to be this
            token instead.
        pad_token (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"<pad>"`):
            The token used for padding, for example when batching sequences of different lengths.
        mask_token (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"<mask>"`):
            The token used for masking values. This is the token used when training this model with masked language
            modeling. This is the token which the model will try to predict.
        add_prefix_space (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`):
            Whether or not to add an initial space to the input. This allows to treat the leading word just as any
            other word. (LUKE tokenizer detect beginning of words by the preceding space).

                 index) among:

                  sequence if provided).
                - `'max_length'`: Pad to a maximum length specified with the argument `max_length` or to the maximum
                  acceptable input length for the model if that argument is not provided.
                - `False` or `'do_not_pad'` (default): No padding (i.e., can output a batch with sequences of different
                  lengths).
            max_length (`int`, *optional*):
                Maximum length of the returned list and optionally padding length (see above).

                The maximum length of the entity sequence.

                If set will pad the sequence to a multiple of the provided value. This is especially useful to enable
                the use of Tensor Cores on NVIDIA hardware with compute capability `>= 7.5` (Volta).
            return_attention_mask (`bool`, *optional*):
                Whether to return the attention mask. If left to the default, will return the attention mask according
                to the specific tokenizer's default, defined by the `return_outputs` attribute. [What are attention
                masks?](../glossary#attention-mask)
