This paper presents a current status of Thai resources and tools for CG development. We also proposed a Thai categorial dependency grammar (CDG), an extended version of CG which includes dependency analysis into CG notation. Beside, an idea of how to group a word that has the same functions are presented to gain a certain type of category per word. We also discuss about a difficulty of building...

Spelling recognition is an approach to enhance a speech recognizer to cope with incorrectly recognized words and out-of-vocabulary words. This paper presents a general framework for Thai speech recognition, enhanced with spelling recognition. To implement Thai spelling recognition, Thai alphabets and their spelling methods are analyzed. Based on hidden Markov models, we propose a method to cons...

This paper presents Thai syntactic resource: Thai CG treebank, a categorial approach of language resources. Since there are very few Thai syntactic resources, we designed to create treebank based on CG formalism. Thai corpus was parsed with existing CG syntactic dictionary and LALR parser. The correct parsed trees were collected as preliminary CG treebank. It consists of 50,346 trees from 27,23...

INTRODUCTION This study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Thai version of the Experiences of Close Relationships-Revised (Thai ECR-R) questionnaire. METHODS 400 students from a university in northern Thailand were randomly selected to complete the Thai ECR-R, the extraversion scale for 16 personality factors, the self-esteem scale and the trait anxiety scale.

OBJECTIVE To establish normative weight-adjusted models for the median levels of first trimester serum biomarkers for trisomy 21 screening in southern Thai women, and to compare these reference levels with Caucasian-specific and northern Thai models. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in 1,150 normal singleton pregnancy women to determine serum pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A...

This study examined the discrimination of word-final stop contrasts (/p/-/t/, /p/-/k/, /t/-/k/) in English and Thai by three groups of listeners differing in their first language (L1): Australian English (AE), Japanese (NJ) and Thai (NT). Thai final stops are invariably unreleased whereas English final stops are variably released. Although Japanese listeners had no experience with word-final st...

OBJECTIVE To validate the Thai version of the Oswestry low back pain disability questionnaire. MATERIAL AND METHOD The questionnaire was translated into Thai version by two translators and some statements were adapted Back translation was performed by a language professional. The content validity was evaluated by five experts in physical medicine and rehabilitation field. The scores were calc...

Most guidelines for making websites accessible for older people have been developed for the Latin alphabet. Currently, there are no web design guidelines for the Thai language or for Thai older people. Our research investigated the effect of font type and size in Thai on skim reading for Thai younger (21-39 years) and older (59-72 years) adults. There were two levels of font types (Conservative...

2. Speech Recognition The language adaptation techniques developed in our lab [5] enables us to rapidly bootstrap a speech recognition system in a new target language given very limited amount of training data. The Thailand’s National Electronics and Technology Center gave us the permission to use their Thai speech data collected in the hotel reservation domain. They provided us with a 6 hours ...
