Abstract
This paper presents the participation of the CACAO prototype to the Log Analysis for Digital Societies (LADS) task of LogCLEF 2009 track. In our experiment we investigated the possibility to exploit the TEL logs data as a source for inferring new translations, thus enriching already existing translation dictionaries. The proposed approach is based on the assumption that in the context of a multilingual digital library the same query is likely to be repeated across different languages. We applied our approach to the logs from TEL and the results obtained are quite promising.
