We compare different strategies to apply statistical machine translation techniques in order to retrieve documents which are a plausible translation of a given source document. Fi...
We propose a new probabilistic approach to information retrieval based upon the ideas and methods of statistical machine translation. The central ingredient in this approach is a ...
Cross-language retrieval systems use queries in one natural language to guide retrieval of documents that might be written in another. Acquisition and representation of translation...
Topics in prior-art patent search are typically full patent applications and relevant items are patents often taken from sources in different languages. Cross language patent retr...
Extractive summarization techniques cannot generate document summaries shorter than a single sentence, something that is often required. An ideal summarization system would unders...
