Since Thai has no explicit word boundary, word segmentation is the first thing to do before developing any Thai NLP applications. In order to create large Thai word-segmented corpora to train a word segmentation model, an efficient verification tool is needed to help linguists work more conveniently to check the accuracy and consistency of the corpora. This paper proposes Thai Word Segmentation Verification Tool Version 2.0, which has significantly been improved from the version 1.0 in many aspects. By using hash table in its data structures, the new version works more rapidly and stably. In addition, the new user interfaces have been ameliorated to be more user-friendly too. The description on the new data structures is explained, while the modification of the new user interfaces is described. An experimental evaluation, in comparing with the previous version, shows the improvement in every aspect. 1
