Thai Natural Language Processing

This book presents comprehensive solutions for readers wanting to develop their own Natural Language Processing projects for the Thai language. Starting from the fundamental principles of Thai, it discusses each step in Natural Language Processing, and the real-world applications. In addition to theory, it also includes practical workshops for readers new to the field who want to start programming in Natural Language Processing. Moreover, it features a number of new techniques to provide readers with ideas for developing their own projects. The book details Thai words using phonetic annotation and also includes English definitions to help readers understand the content.

Contributed papers presented at the 2005 International Conference, held at IIT Kanpur, organized by NLP Association of India, etc.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the Eleventh International Symposium on Natural Language Processing (SNLP-2016), held in Phranakhon Si Ayutthaya, Thailand on February 10–12, 2016. The SNLP promotes research in natural language processing and related fields, and provides a unique opportunity for researchers, professionals and practitioners to discuss various current and advanced issues of interest in NLP. The 2016 symposium was expanded to include the First Workshop in Intelligent Informatics and Smart Technology. Of the 66 high-quality papers accepted, this book presents twelve from the Symposium on Natural Language Processing track and ten from the Workshop in Intelligent Informatics and Smart Technology track (SSAI: Special Session on Artificial Intelligence).

This book includes the papers presented at the fifth International Conference on Application of Natural Language to Information Systems (NLDB 2000) which was held in Versailles (France) on June 28-30. Following NLDB95 in Versailles, NLDB96 i n Amsterdam, NLDB97 i n Vancouver, and NLDB99 i n Klagenfurt, NLDB 2000 was a forum for exchanging new research results and trends on the benefits of integrating Natural Language resources in Information System Engineering. Since the first NLDB workshop in 1995 it has become apparent that each aspect of an information system life cycle may be improved by natural language techniques: database design (specification, validation, conflict resolution), database query languages, and application programming that use new software engineering research (natural language program specifications). As information systems are now evolving into the communication area, the term databases should be considered in the broader sense of information and communication systems. The main new trend in NLDB 2000 is related to the WEB wave: WEB querying, WEB answering, and information retrieval. Among 47 papers submitted from 18 countries, the program committee selected 29 papers to be presented during the conference. Besides these regular papers, two invited talks (given by Pr. Reind P. van de Riet and Pr. Maurice Gross), and a set of posters and demonstrations are also included in these proceedings.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th Joint International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing, iSAI-NLP2017, held in Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand, in August 2017, and the 10th International Conference on Knowledge, Information and Creativity Support Systems, KICSS2015, held in Phuket, Thailand, in November 2015. It presents 22 carefully reviewed full papers on the following topics: artificial intelligence; machine learning; decision support systems; data mining; data analysis; natural language processing; multilingual processing; language and ontology unification; text classification; knowledge-based information systems; tracking systems; virtual reality; pattern recognition and image processing; signal classification; object detection and recognition; real-time sensor network; cloud-based services; and information security.

Natural language processing (NLP) is a branch of artificial intelligence that has emerged as a prevalent method of practice for a sizeable amount of companies. NLP enables software to understand human language and process complex data that is generated within businesses. In a competitive market, leading organizations are showing an increased interest in implementing this technology to improve user experience and establish smarter decision-making methods. Research on the application of intelligent analytics is crucial for professionals and companies who wish to gain an edge on the opposition. The Handbook of Research on Natural Language Processing and Smart Service Systems is a collection of innovative research on the integration and development of intelligent software tools and their various applications within professional environments. While highlighting topics including discourse analysis, information retrieval, and advanced dialog systems, this book is ideally designed for developers, practitioners, researchers, managers, engineers, academicians, business professionals, scholars, policymakers, and students seeking current research on the improvement of competitive practices through the use of NLP and smart service systems.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Applications of Natural Language to Information Systems, held in Alicante, Spain, in June 2011. The 11 revised full papers and 11 revised short papers presented together with 23 poster papers, 1 invited talk and 6 papers of the NLDB 2011 doctoral symposium were carefully reviewed and selected from 74 submissions. The papers address all aspects of Natural Language Processing related areas and present current research on topics such as natural language in conceptual modeling, NL interfaces for data base querying/retrieval, NL-based integration of systems, large-scale online linguistic resources, applications of computational linguistics in information systems, management of textual databases NL on data warehouses and data mining, NLP applications, as well as NL and ubiquitous computing.
