PyThaiNLP: Thai Natural Language Processing in Python

Abstract

We present PyThaiNLP, a free and open-source \nnatural language processing (NLP) library for \nThai language implemented in Python. It provides a wide range of software, models, and \ndatasets for Thai language. We first provide \na brief historical context of tools for Thai language prior to the development of PyThaiNLP. \nWe then outline the functionalities it provided \nas well as datasets and pre-trained language \nmodels. We later summarize its development \nmilestones and discuss our experience during \nits development. We conclude by demonstrating how industrial and research communities \nutilize PyThaiNLP in their work. The library \nis freely available at https://github.com/ \npythainlp/pythainlp
