In one form or another language translation is a necessary part of cross-lingual information retrieval systems. Often times this is accomplished using machine translation systems....
This paper introduces a general framework for the use of translation probabilities in cross-language information retrieval based on the notion that information retrieval fundament...
The paper introduces a query translation model that re ects the structure of the cross-language information retrieval task. The model is based on a structured bilingual dictionary...
In the KL divergence framework, the extended language modeling approach has a critical problem estimating a query model, which is the probabilistic model that encodes user’s inf...
Cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) today is dominated by techniques that use token-to-token mappings from bilingual dictionaries. Yet, state-of-the-art statistical transl...
