Automatic 3-Language Cross-Language Information Retrieval with Latent Semantic Indexing

This paper describes cross-language informationretrieval experiments carried out for TREC-6. Our retrieval method, cross-language latent semantic indexing CL-LSI, is completely automatic and we were able to use it to create a 3-way EnglishFrench-German IR system. This study extends our previous work in terms of the large size of training and testing corpora, the use of low-quality training data, the evaluation using relevance judgments, and the number of languages analyzed.
