A System Architecture for Thai WordNet Project

Abstract

The goal of the Thai WordNet project is to develop a system and a set of algorithms and tools for efficient construction and maintenance of the Thai WordNet. To accelerate the construction process, we present an approach that reuses existing lexical sources. This conceptual approach can be applied to construct other new lexicons as well. In this paper, we give a brief overview of the Thai WordNet project and describe our experience on constructing ThaiWordNet. At the end, we describe our future plan for further developing the Thai WordNet lexical database and some of research problems that we believe are important and serve as suitable topics for exploratory research.
