CPE-KMUTT NLP Lab

Natural Language Processing Research | King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), Thailand

CPE-KMUTT NLP Lab is a research group based in the Department of Computer Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), Bangkok, Thailand.

Our research focuses on Natural Language Processing (NLP), multilingual and low-resource language technologies, and Large Language Models (LLMs), with particular emphasis on Southeast Asian languages.

Research Areas

• Low-Resource NLP: Developing datasets, benchmarks, and language technologies for underrepresented languages, particularly Burmese and Thai.
• Multilingual Language Models: Evaluating and adapting language models for Southeast Asian languages.
• Cultural NLP: Developing culturally grounded datasets and evaluating cultural knowledge and reasoning in LLMs.
• Information Extraction: Named Entity Recognition (NER), text classification, and structured information extraction.
• Responsible AI: Investigating model fairness, cultural representation, and responsible language technology development.

Open-Source Resources

We develop and release datasets, benchmarks, and experimental code to support reproducible NLP research.

• myFineNER: A fine-grained Burmese Named Entity Recognition benchmark covering 18 entity types.
• Thai-E-MCQ-200: A 200-item Thai cultural reasoning benchmark with explanation-based multiple-choice questions.

Our Mission

Our mission is to advance inclusive and culturally aware language technologies by developing accessible NLP resources, supporting open research, and strengthening the Southeast Asian NLP research community.

We welcome research collaborations and contributions from researchers, students, and the open-source community.
