The case study about the diffusion of the innovative verbal usage of nok in Thai Twitter.
Three computational linguistic methods that we adopted can help to deal with polysemy.
Lexical statistics (e.g. word frequency, bigram, entropy) and vectorization (e.g. word2vec, doc2vec) of Thai news corpora. This research shows many interesting characteristics of Thai newspapers. Especially, metonymy is frequently used and it is hard for computer to understand the meaning. This reserch also shows that word2vec helps to detect metonyms automatically.
