Currently, the dictionary cannot handle duplicate entries. It would be interesting if this would be supported. Possibly a flag that allows one to 'allow' multiples would be a feature.
Use Case
When using code-switched tokenizers (Like the 'AggregateTokenizer' in NeMo) you may have the same token appear twice. For example "Is" in the Dutch language and "Is" in the English language. Generally, we observe better Word Error Rates when using code-switched (aggregate) tokenizers as opposed to single tokenizers.
Additional Context
I would be happy to implement this feature, if, this is something the Flashlight team would be open to!
