Multilingual Retrieval Experiments with MIMOR at the University of Hildesheim

Fusion and optimization based on relevance judgements have proven to be successful strategies in information retrieval. In this year's CLEF campaign we applied these strategies to multilingual retrieval with four languages. Our fusion experiments were carried out using freely available software. We used the snowball stemmers, internet translation services and Lucene's and the new MySQL's text retrieval tools.
