ABSTRACT
This papar presents a performance comparison of word-separation algorithms for Thai language.
The research surveyed existing algorithms. A synthesis of performance indicators was attempted
together with a development of measurement methodology. A body of Thai reference data
was collected to validate the accuracy of Thai word separation. Experimental results show that
the longest-word pattern-matching algorithm gives the most accurate output words while
the backtracking algorithm gives the least error words. Word-usage-frequency algorithm
gives the highest valid words ratio per number of words in its dictionary. The usage of ambiguity
dictionary gives the best ambiguous case resolution, whereas the shortest-word pattern-matching
algorithm gives the highest number of output words.
