Experiences in evaluating multilingual and text-image information retrieval

Experiences in evaluating multilingual and text-image information retrieval

One important step during the development of information retrieval ~IR! processes is the evaluation of the output regarding the information needs of the user. The “high quality” of the output is related to the integration of different methods to be applied in the IR process and the information included in the retrieved documents, but how can “quality” be measured? Although some of these methods...

Advances in Multilingual Text Retrieval

Multilingual text retrieval extends the basic monolingual detection task to include retrieving relevant documents in languages other than the query language. The task therefore merges efforts in machine translation with efforts in text retrieval, but the machine translation component may be substantially simplified due to some basic assumptions about the design and implementation of high-perfor...

Applications of Multilingual Text Retrieval

The Centerfor Intelligent Information Retrieval (CIIR) at the University of Massachusetts is involved in a variety of industrial, government, and digital library applications which have a needfor multilingual text retrieval. Mos...
