Transitive probabilistic CLIR models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transitive translation could be a useful technique to enlarge the number of supported language pairs for a cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) system in a cost-effective manner. The paper describes several setups for transitive translation based on probabilistic translation models. The transitive CLIR models were evaluated on the CLEF test collection and yielded a retrieval effectiveness up to 83% of monolingual performance, which is significantly better than a baseline using the synonym operator.

Exploring transitive translation methods
We propose several variant setups to combine statistical translation models for transitive translation. Transitive translation could be a useful technique to enlarge the number of supported language pairs for a cross language information retrieval (CLIR) system in a cost-effective manner. The transitive CLIR models were evaluated on the CLEF test collection and yielded a retrieval effectiveness...
متن کاملIntegration of PLSA into Probabilistic CLIR Model - Yokohama National University at NTCIR4 CLIR
In this paper, we propose a method of CrossLanguage Information Retrieval based on an integration of a probabilistic CLIR model and Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (PLSA). PLSA is adopted to extract the information of translation probability from a parallel corpus. The information is utilized in a probabilistic CLIR model. Although the probabilistic CLIR model with PLSA is quite effectiv...
متن کاملExperiments with transitive dictionary translation and pseudo-relevance feedback using graded relevance assessments
Research on cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) has typically been restricted to settings using binary relevance assessments. In this paper, we present evaluation results for transitive dictionary-based CLIR using graded relevance assessments in a best match retrieval environment. A text database containing newspaper articles and a related set of 35 search topics were used in the tests....

متن کاملCLIR using a Probabilistic Translation Model based on Web Documents
In this report, we describe the approach we used in TREC-8 Cross-Language IR (CLIR) track. The approach is based on probabilistic translation models estimated from two parallel training corpora: one established manually, and the other built automatically with the documents mined from the Web. We describe the principle of model building, the mining of parallel texts, as well as some preliminary ...
