Translingual information retrieval (TLIR) consists of providing a query in one language and searching document collections in one or more diierent languages. This paper introduces new TLIR methods and reports on comparative TLIR experiments with these new methods and with previously reported ones in a realistic setting. Methods fall into two categories: query translation and statistical-IR appr...

We present an attempt at a coherent vision of an end-to-end translingual information retrieval system. We begin by presenting a sample of the broad range of possibilities, and the results of some initial work comparing the diierent approaches. We then present an overall workstation architecture, followed by two possible approaches to the actual translingual IR stage presented in detail. Ranking...

Like full-text translation, cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) is a task that requires some form of knowledge transfer across languages. Although robust translation resources are critical for constructing high quality translation tools, manually constructed resources are limited both in their coverage and in their adaptability to a wide range of applications. Automatic mining of transl...

In translingual information retrieval (TIR), ad hoc queries in any of a set of languages can be used to retrieve documents in any of a set of languages. Classical informationretrieval methods such as the vector-space model cannot be applied to TIR because they base similarity on the overlap of terms between queries and documents|this is typically zero in TIR. The generalized vector-space model ...
