Semi-Supervised Thai Sentence Segmentation Using Local And Distant Word Representations, Chanatip Saetia
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
A sentence is typically treated as the minimal syntactic unit used for extracting valuable information from a longer piece of text. However, in written Thai, there are no explicit sentence markers. We proposed a deep learning model for the task of sentence segmentation that includes three main contributions. First, we integrate n-gram embedding as a local representation to capture word groups near sentence boundaries. Second, to focus on the keywords of dependent clauses, we combine the model with a distant representation obtained from self-attention modules. Finally, due to the scarcity of labeled data, for which annotation is difficult and time-consuming, …

Deep Sequential Real Estate Recommendation Approach For Solving Item Cold Start Problem, Jirut Polohakul
Deep Sequential Real Estate Recommendation Approach For Solving Item Cold Start Problem, Jirut Polohakul
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
The item cold-start problem occurs when a recommendation system cannot recommend new items owing to record deficiencies and new listing omissions. When searching for real estate, users can register a concurrent interest in recent and prior projects. Thus, an approach to recommend cold-start and warm-start items simultaneously must be determined. Furthermore, unrequired membership and stop-by behavior cause real estate recommendations to have many cold-start and new users. This characteristic encourages the use of a content-based approach and a session-based recommendation system. Herein, we propose a real estate recommendation approach for solving the item cold-start problem with acceptable warm-start item recommendations …
