Abstract
Eurospider participated in both the multilingual and monolingual retrieval tasks for CLEF 2001. Our multilingual experiments, the main focus of this year’s work, combine multiple approaches to cross-language retrieval: machine translation, similarity thesauri, and machine-readable dictionaries. We experimented with both query translation and document translation. The monolingual experiments focused on the use of two fundamentally different stemming components: a stemmer based on commercial considerations, and a linguistically motivated stemmer.
