The Eurospider Retrieval System and the TREC-8 Cross-Language Track
نویسندگان
چکیده
This year the Eurospider team, with help from Columbia, focused on trying different combinations of translation approaches. We investigated the use and integration of pseudo-relevance feedback, multilingual similarity thesauri and machine translation. We also looked at different ways of merging individual crosslanguage retrieval runs to produce multilingual result lists. We participated in both the CLIR main task and the GIRT sub task.

The University of Maryland team participated in four aspects of TREC-8: the ad hoc retrieval task, the main task in the cross-language retrieval (CLIR) track, the question answering track, and the routing task in the filtering track. The CLIR method was based on Pirkola’s method for Dictionary-based Query Translation, using freely available dictionaries. Broad-coverage parsing and rule-based ma...
متن کاملCLARIT TREC-8 CLIR Experiments
In the TREC-8 cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) track, we adopted the approach of using machine translation to prepare a source-language query for use in a target-language retrieval task. We empirically evaluated (1) the effect of pseudo relevance feedback on retrieval performance with two feedback vector length control methods in CLIR and (2) the effect of multilingual data merging e...

MNIS-TextWise Labs participated in the TREC-9 Chinese Cross-Language Information Retrieval track. The focus of our research for this participation has been on rapidly adding Chinese capabilities to CINDOR using tools for automatically generating a Chinese Conceptual Interlingua from existing lexical resources. For the TREC-9 evaluation we also built a version of our system which loosely integra...
