چکیده

The Dublin City University participated in the CLEF 2007 CL-SR English task. For CLEF 2007 we concentrated primarily on the issues of topic translation, combining this with search field combination and pseudo relevance feedback methods used for our CLEF 2006 submissions. Topics were translated into English using the Yahoo! BabelFish free online translation service combined with domain-specific translation lexicons gathered automatically from Wikipedia. We explored alternative translations methods with document retrieval based the combination of the multiple document fields using the BM25F field combination model. Our results indicate that extending machine translation tools using automatically generated domain-specific translation dictionaries can provide improved CLIR effectiveness.
