Bookmarking, Thesaurus, and Cooperation in Bilingual Question Answering

چکیده
This year’s interactive cross-lingual information access experiment was designed to measure three parameters we expected could affect the performance of users in cross-lingual tasks in languages in which the users are less than fluent. Firstly, introducing new technology, we measure the effect of topic-tailored term expansion on query formulation. Secondly, introducing a new component in the interactive interface, we investigate without measuring by using a control group the effect of a bookmark panel on user confidence in the reported result. Thirdly, we ran subjects pair-wise and allowed them to communicate, to investigate the effect of cooperation on task completion.
