Multilingual Information Retrieval Using English and Chinese Queries

We participated in the CLEF 2001 monolingual, bilingual, and multilingual tasks. Our interests in these tasks are to test the utility of applying Chinese word segmentation algorithms to German decompounding, to experiment with techniques for combining translations from diverse resources, and to experiment with different approaches to multilingual retrieval. This paper describes our retrieval experiments.
