When to Cross Over? Cross-Language Linking Using Wikipedia for VideoCLEF 2009
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe Dublin City University (DCU)’s participation in the VideoCLEF 2009 Linking Task. Two approaches were implemented using the Lemur information retrieval toolkit. Both approaches first extracted a search query from the transcriptions of the Dutch TV broadcasts. One method first performed search on a Dutch Wikipedia archive, then followed links to corresponding pages in the English Wikipedia. The other method first translated the extracted query using machine translation and then searched the English Wikipedia collection directly. We found that using the original Dutch transcription query for searching the Dutch Wikipedia yielded better results.

متن کاملA Cocktail Approach to the VideoCLEF'09 Linking Task
In this paper, we describe the TNO approach to the Finding Related Resources or linking task of VideoCLEF09. Our system consists of a weighted combination of off-theshelf and proprietary modules, including the Wikipedia Miner toolkit of the University of Waikato. Using this cocktail of largely off-the-shelf technology allows for setting a baseline for future approaches to this task.
متن کاملA Virtual Evaluation Track for Cross Language Link Discovery
The Wikipedia has become the most popular online source of encyclopedic information. The English Wikipedia collection, as well as some other languages collections, is extensively linked. However, as a multilingual collection the Wikipedia is only very weakly linked. There are few cross-language links or cross-dialect links (see, for example, Chinese dialects). In order to link the multilingual-...
متن کاملInterlinking Cross Language Metadata Using Heterogeneous Graphs and Wikipedia
Cross-language metadata are essential in helping users overcome language barriers in information discovery and recommendation. The construction of cross-language vocabulary, however, is usually costly and intellectually laborious. This paper addresses these problems by proposing a Cross-Language Metadata Network (CLMN) approach, which uses Wikipedia as the intermediary for cross-language metada...
