Abstract

This paper reviews state-of-the-art techniques and methods for enhancing effectiveness of cross-language information retrieval (CLIR). The following research issues are covered: (1) matching strategies and translation techniques, (2) methods for solving the problem of translation ambiguity, (3) formal models for CLIR such as application of the language model, (4) the pivot language approach, (5) methods for searching multilingual document collection, (6) techniques for combining multiple language resources, etc.

Research on English-Chinese bi-directional cross-language information retrieval
Proceedings of the 2005 joint Chinese-German conference on Cognitive systems

With the rapid growing amount of information available to us, the situations that a user needs to use a retrieval system to perform querying a multilingual document collection are becoming increasingly emerging and common. Thus an important problem is ...
Bootstrapping dictionaries for cross-language information retrieval
SIGIR '05: Proceedings of the 28th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval

The bottleneck for dictionary-based cross-language information retrieval is the lack of comprehensive dictionaries, in particular for many different languages. We here introduce a methodology by which multilingual dictionaries (for Spanish and Swedish) ...
Learning bilingual translations from comparable corpora to cross-language information retrieval: hybrid statistics-based and linguistics-based approach
AsianIR '03: Proceedings of the sixth international workshop on Information retrieval with Asian languages - Volume 11

Recent years saw an increased interest in the use and the construction of large corpora. With this increased interest and awareness has come an expansion in the application to knowledge acquisition and bilingual terminology extraction. The present paper ...
