چکیده
Information Retrieval (IR) is used to store and represent the knowledge and the retrieval of information relevant for a special user query. Multilingual Information Retrieval (MLIR) system helps the users to pose the query in one language and retrieve the documents in more than one language. One of the basic performance measures of IR systems is Precision. While this measure work well in monolingual web retrieval, not suitable for CLIR (Cross-lingual Information

متن کاملMultilingual Information Retrieval Using Recall Metric Variants
The performance evaluation of information retrieval systems has achieved a high momentum in the last few years. Basic performance measures of information retrieval systems include precision and recall. While these measures work well in monolingual web retrieval, they are not suitable for CLIR (Cross-lingual Information Retrieval) and MLIR (Multilingual Information Retrieval) where two or more l...
متن کاملExperiences in evaluating multilingual and text-image information retrieval
One important step during the development of information retrieval ~IR! processes is the evaluation of the output regarding the information needs of the user. The “high quality” of the output is related to the integration of different methods to be applied in the IR process and the information included in the retrieved documents, but how can “quality” be measured? Although some of these methods...
