CRL's TREC-8 Systems Cross-Lingual IR, and Q&A
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the systems used by CRL in the Cross-lingual IR and Q&A tracks. The cross-language experiment was unique in that it was run interactively with a mono-lingual user simulating how a true cross-language system might be used. The methods used in the Q&A system are based on language processing technology developed at CRL for machine translation and information extraction.

TREC 2001 Cross-lingual Retrieval at BBN
BBN only participated in the cross-lingual track in TREC 2001. Arabic, the language of the TREC 2001 corpus, presents a number of challenges to both monolingual and crosslingual IR. First, many inflected Arabic words can correspond to multiple uninflected words, requiring context to disambiguate them. Second, orthographic variations are prevalent; certain glyphs are sometimes written as differe...
متن کاملUniversity of Sheffield TREC-8 Q&A System
The system entered by the University of She eld in the question answering track of TREC-8 is the result of coupling two existing technologies { information retrieval (IR) and information extraction (IE). In essence the approach is this: the IR system treats the question as a query and returns a set of top ranked documents or passages; the IE system uses NLP techniques to parse the question, ana...
متن کاملCross Language Information Retrieval for Biomedical Literature
This workshop report discusses the collaborative work of UT, EMC and TNO on the TREC Genomics Track 2007. The biomedical information retrieval task is approached using cross language methods, in which biomedical concept detection is combined with effective IR based on unigram language models. Furthermore, a co-occurrence method is used to select and filter candidate answers. On its own, the cro...
متن کاملInformation Retrieval Based on Stochastic Models
Our method for information retrieval uses Robertson's 2-poisson model which is one type of probablistic approach. This method achieved a comparatively high score in TREC. In the NTCIR contest, we designed systems that could be used for adhoc retrieval and cross-lingual task. This paper explains the systems. key words 2-poisson model, adhoc retrieval, cross lingual retrieval G °±ê+HKsÞð ·Ù À U ...

For TREC-10, we participated in the adhoc and manual web tracks and in both the site-finding and cross-lingual tracks. For the adhoc track, we did extensive calibrations and learned that combining similarity measures yields little improvement. This year, we focused on a single highperformance similarity measure. For site finding, we implemented several algorithms that did well on the data provi...
