| ``` | |
| ### Data Fields | |
| - `fname`: file name; also marks if article is articles, news, encyclopedia or novels | |
| - `char`: characters | |
| - `char_type`: character types as adopted from []() by [deepcut](https://github.com/rkcosmos/deepcut) | |
| - `is_beginning`: is beginning of word | |

| ## Dataset Creation | |
| ### Curation Rationale | |
| The dataset was created for [BEST 2010: Word Tokenization Competition](https://thailang.nectec.or.th/archive/indexa290.html?q=node/10) by [NECTEC](https://www.nectec.or.th/). | |
| ### Source Data | |
| #### Initial Data Collection and Normalization | |
| [More Information Needed] | |
| #### Who are the source language producers? | |
| Respective authors of the articles, news, encyclopedia and novels | |
| ### Annotations | |
| #### Annotation process | |
| Detailed annotation guidelines can be found in `BEST_Guideline_Release1.pdf` as part of the uncompressed files. Word tokenization standard used was [InterBEST2009](http://hltshare.fbk.eu/IWSLT2015/InterBEST2009Guidelines-2.pdf) | |
| #### Who are the annotators? | |
| [More Information Needed] | |
| ### Personal and Sensitive Information | |
| All data are curated from public sources. No personal and sensitive information is expected to be included. | |
| ## Considerations for Using the Data | |
| ### Social Impact of Dataset | |
| - word tokenization dataset from articles, news, encyclopedia and novels | |
| ### Discussion of Biases | |
| - texts are relatively formal ones from articles, news, encyclopedia and novels. | |
| - word tokenization standard used was [InterBEST2009](http://hltshare.fbk.eu/IWSLT2015/InterBEST2009Guidelines-2.pdf). | |
| ### Other Known Limitations | |
| - some tags unrelated to word tokenization (`<NE>` and `<AB>`) are cleaned out. | |
| - no word boundary provdied for the test set | |
