Abstract

The automatic alignment of documents in a quasi-comparable corpus is an important research problem for a resource poor cross-language technologies. News stories form one of the most prolific and abundant language resource. The PAN@FIRE task, cross-language !ndia news story search (CL!NSS), aimed to address the news story linking task across languages English and Hindi. We present the overview of the track with results and analysis.

Using Communities of Words Derived from Multilingual Word Vectors for Cross-Language Information Retrieval in Indian Languages

We investigate the use of word embeddings for query translation to improve precision in cross-language information retrieval (CLIR). Word vectors represent words in a distributional space such that syntactically or semantically similar words are close ...
Enhancing cross-language information retrieval by an automatic acquisition of bilingual terminology from comparable corpora
SIGIR '03: Proceedings of the 26th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in informaion retrieval

This paper presents an approach to bilingual lexicon extraction from comparable corpora and evaluations on Cross-Language Information Retrieval. We explore a bi-directional extraction of bilingual terminology primarily from comparable corpora. A ...
Bootstrapping dictionaries for cross-language information retrieval
SIGIR '05: Proceedings of the 28th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval

The bottleneck for dictionary-based cross-language information retrieval is the lack of comprehensive dictionaries, in particular for many different languages. We here introduce a methodology by which multilingual dictionaries (for Spanish and Swedish) ...
