A major obstacle to the construction of a probabilistic translation model is the lack of large parallel corpora. In this paper we first describe a parallel text mining system that...
We introduce and validate bootstrap techniques to compute confidence intervals that quantify the effect of test-collection variability on average precision (AP) and mean average...
The proliferation of the World Wide Web has brought information retrieval (IR) techniques to the forefront of search technology. To the average computer user, “searching” now ...
This paper introduces a new approach to add fault-tolerance to a fulltext retrieval system. The weighted pattern morphing technique circumvents some of the disadvantages of the wid...
