The domain-specific track evaluates retrieval models for structured scientific bibliographic collections in English, German and Russian. Documents contain textual elements (title, abstracts) as well as subject keywords from controlled vocabularies, which can be used in query expansion and bilingual translation.

Thus we performed two runs with monolingual Russian retrieval and one cross-lingual run each with German topics and English topics. Query translation was done using the online PROMT translator (www.translate.ru). Monolingual results ...
