@LuBingtan I'm terribly sorry I didn't see this sooner! No, we do not currently support sparse input. If you're interested in having that available, I can convert this issue to...

Oh, I'm *definitely* down for Unicode! In terms of other languages, there are some really interesting issues there. You're absolutely right that determining what constitutes rhymes/syllables/alliteration/... becomes really tricky when...

For what it's worth, this was implemented [here](https://github.com/rapidsai/raft/blob/branch-24.12/cpp/include/raft/core/copy.cuh#L20-L74) in RAFT (actual implementation [here](https://github.com/rapidsai/raft/blob/branch-24.12/cpp/include/raft/core/detail/copy.hpp)). It could be adapted for use outside of RAFT by switching from RAFT's `resources` object to just...
