    Sign language translation is a challenging problem in natural language processing. Its principle involves machine translation from sign language images to spoken language text. Designing a good translation is not a trivial task since there are a large number of both input image pixels and output classes. We propose the deep learning model to translate static gestures of Thai sign language (TSL) to the corresponding Thai spoken words. The main objective is to design a compact model that delivers high performance so that it can be implemented on mobile devices. Several mobile convolutional neural networks (CNN) are investigated to find the best backbone architecture. We also attach additional layers to the selected CNN architecture to fine-tune its performance. The experiments on the dataset collected from twenty-four volunteers indicate excellent results; in terms of precision, recall, and f1-score, of the proposed model. The comparisons with the state-of-the-art models and the feature visualizations from convolution layers endorse its effectiveness.

    In light of the growing challenges associated with infertility, an increasing number of researchers are resorting to assisted reproductive technologies such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Embryo grading is a crucial step in the IVF process that requires embryologists’ expertise. However, their limited availability has led to the exploration of technological alternatives. This study aims to use deep learning for human embryo grading, with models specifically designed for the dataset in Thailand at Vajira Hospital. The process of IVF at Vajira Hospital presents its own set of challenges since its embryo classification extends beyond the Istanbul consensus. Furthermore, classes that occur infrequently are removed and classes with similarities are merged. We apply transfer learning to pretrained deep learning models like VGG19, VGG16, ResNet152, Resnet101, Xception, InceptionV3, and EfficientNet, to create a system capable of accurately classifying embryo quality scores. Experimental results from the embryo dataset collected from Vajira Hospital in Thailand demonstrate the proposed classifier’s accuracy, precision, recall, f1-score, and AUC superiority. This research contributes to the field of IVF in Thailand by potentially reducing human errors and addressing the demand for skilled embryologists.

    Traffic signal control (TSC) is a challenging issue in managing an urban transportation system. A fixed time TSC is easy to implement but has drawbacks in such measures as flow rate, waiting time, and traffic density. The situation gets worse when the arrival rates of vehicles periodically change over time, which is usual in most urban cities. We propose adaptive reinforcement learning (RL) to manage TSC with varying vehicle arrival rates. Our objectives are to improve the averages of flow rate and waiting time and reduce the wasteful green light problem by considering the vehicle densities of the current lane and the downstream directions. Experiments were conducted by Simulation of Urban MObility (SUMO) under three traffic layouts and various vehicle arrival rates. The proposed method not only reduced on average traffic density, waiting time, and queue length, but also increased the average flow rate and average speed, relative to the other algorithms tested.

    News summarization presents a significant challenge in Natural Language Processing (NLP). Lengthy news articles not only consume valuable time but also lead to confusion regarding key points. The ideal news summarization should swiftly produce a succinct summary while retaining the essence of the information conveyed by the news writer. While intelligent chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini offer user-friendly text summarization, their embedded Large Language Model (LLM) cannot be downloaded for private use. Moreover, implementing them in a business process can be expensive, both in terms of pay-per-use costs and response time. The objective of this research is to develop a private Thai news summarization that effectively extracts sentences encapsulating the main idea and abstractly summarizes them. The proposed model consists of two components. The first extracts a contiguous region containing important sentences using the TextRank algorithm, while the second employs the finetuned mBART as an LLM to generate the abstractive summary from the previously extracted sentences. In other words, the proposed model extracts an important news region before passing it to mBART. This approach produces a news summary with key information and a syntactic style akin to the natural Thai language. We evaluate the summarization quality by ROUGE scores and BERTScore (precision, recall, and F1-score). The evaluation metrics Experimental results on the ThaiSum dataset show relatively high ROUGE scores and BERTScore for the proposed model compared to most of the other approaches. Furthermore, it significantly reduces the runtime, keeping it within a reasonable limit.

    Value investors typically seek undervalued stocks that align with specific financial criteria to maximize their margin of safety. However, manually analyzing the financial data of all listed stocks is a time-intensive process. Furthermore, the market price of a target stock may exceed its intrinsic value, introducing potential investment risks. To address these challenges, this study proposes a stock clustering framework that groups equities based on financial ratio similarity. The proposed framework is designed to streamline the investment decision-making process by recommending stocks with comparable financial profiles as alternatives to those currently attracting investor interest but that may already be overvalued. Multiple clustering algorithms are evaluated to determine the most effective grouping strategy. Empirical back testing using four years of data from the Stock Exchange of Thailand reveals that the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) achieves the highest composite performance metric among the tested methods. Additionally, the HDBSCAN algorithm is employed to detect and exclude outlier stocks, thereby enhancing the reliability of the clustering results.

    Spartan simplicity: A pruning algorithm for neural nets
    (2008-08-01) ;
    Pinngern, Ouen
    Having more hidden units than necessary can produce a neural network that has a poor generalization. This paper proposes a new algorithm for pruning unnecessary hidden units away from the single-hidden layer feedforward neural networks, resulting in a Spartan network. Our approach is simple and easy to implement, yet produces a very good result. The idea is to train the network until it begins to lose its generalization. Then the algorithm measures the sensitivity and automatically prunes away the most irrelevant unit. We define this sensitivity as the absolute difference between the desirable output and the output of the pruned network. Unlike other pruning methods, our algorithm is distinct in calculating the sensitivity from the validation set, instead of the training set, without increasing the asymptotic time complexity of the back-propagation algorithm. In addition, for a classification problem, we raise a point that the sensitivities of some well-known pruning algorithms may still underestimate the irrelevance of hidden unit even though the validation set is used in measuring the sensitivity. We resolve this problem by considering the number of misclassified patterns as the main concern. The Spartan simplicity algorithm is applied to three artificial and seven standard benchmarks. In most problems, the algorithm can produce a compact-sized network with high generalization ability in comparison with other pruning algorithms. © 2008 World Scientific Publishing Company.

    A question-answering (QA) system is essential to an organization where numerous QA pairs respond to customer queries. Choosing the right pair corresponding to the query is a complex task. Although the QA system from a commercial product like ChatGPT provides an excellent solution, it is costly, and the fine-tuned Large Language Model (LLM) cannot be downloaded for private use at the local site. In addition, the cost of using such LLM may significantly increase when the number of users grows. We propose a Thai QA system that can swiftly respond and correctly match the user query to the reference answer in the QA dataset. The proposed system encodes both QA pairs and a query into individual embeddings and finds a couple of QA pairs that are most related to the query by using the fast similarity search called Faiss (Facebook AI Similarity Search.) Afterward, the relevant QA pairs and the query are fed to the fine-tuned LLM (WangchanBERTa-pretraining multilingual transformer-based) to choose the single best match QA pair. The fine-tuned WangchanBERTa can retrieve the correct answer and respond to the query naturally. The experiment conducted on the Thai Wiki QA dataset indicates the superior ROUGE values, precision, recall, F1-score, and runtime of the proposed system against other strategies.

    Enhancing Industrial Machine Sound Anomaly Detection Using STFT Integrated with DWT and Autoencoder-Based Neural Networks
    (2026-01-23)

    ;
    This study proposes a hybrid feature extraction approach that integrates the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) with the Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) to improve the accuracy of anomalous sound detection in industrial machines. Conventional STFT-based methods, while effective in representing time–frequency characteristics, exhibit limitations in handling non-stationary noise and transient variations, which often lead to reduced anomaly detection performance in practical industrial environments. To address this problem, the proposed method incorporates multiresolution analysis through DWT, enhancing the system’s capability to capture both spectral and temporal information with improved noise robustness. The MIMII dataset (valve,-6 dB, ID02) was used to evaluate the model, where the DWT–STFT feature, representation was applied to an autoencoder for unsupervised anomaly detection. Experimental results demonstrate that the integration of DWT effectively enhanced noise robustness and improved classification metrics, achieving higher AUC and F1-scores compared to the baseline STFT-based approach. In conclusion, the proposed DWT–STFT fusion provides a more resilient and discriminative feature representation, making it a promising technique for practical industrial anomaly detection systems.
