CLIR Using Web Directory at NTCIR-4
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a CLIR method which employs a Web directory provided in multiple language versions (such as Yahoo!). In the proposed method, feature terms are first extracted from Web documents for each category in the source and the target languages. In advance, category matching is conducted in order to category pairs between categories across languages. Using these category pairs, we intend to resolve ambiguities of simple dictionary translation by narrowing the categories to be retrieved in the target language. At NTCIR-4, we participated in the JapaneseEnglish cross-language track. We submitted TITLE run and DESCRIPTION run. From the analysis of the experimental results, we found that the translation failure of proper nouns causes serious influence for retrieval results.

We participated in the Chinese-English CLIR task, concentrating primarily on the issues of translation disambiguation and automatic translation extraction of OOV terms. A new technique to identify and translate Chinese OOV terms using the web was developed. The results for this aspect of our work appears promising.
متن کاملUsing the Web for Translation Disambiguation: RMIT University at NTCIR-5 Chinese-English CLIR
RMIT University participated in the Chinese– English NTCIR-5 CLIR task. In previous work, researchers have relied on the test collection corpus to perform translation disambiguation in CLIR. In a production system, one would not be able to use a constrained test collection for disambiguation. Therefore we are interested to see how well our techniques perform when the web is used to provide cont...

This paper describes experimental results of J-J subtask of NTCIR-6 CLIR. We expanded query term using online dictionaries in a WEB. It was effective for some topics of which average precision was low. Probabilistic model were employed for scoring, and we modified this score multiplying by the number of varieties of query terms, also. In most cases this works well. Query term reduction should b...
