Cross-Language Retrieval with Wikipedia
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate a twofold use of Wikipedia for cross-lingual information retrieval. As our main contribution, we exploit Wikipedia hyperlinkage for query term disambiguation. We also use bilingual Wikipedia articles for dictionary extension. Our method is based on translation disambiguation; we combine the Wikipedia based technique with a method based on bigram statistics of pairs formed by translations of different source language terms.

We call this extension Cross-Language Explicit Semantic Analysis (CL-ESA) as it allows to apply ESA in a cross-lingual information retrieval setting. In essence, ESA represents documents as vectors in the space of Wikipedi...

However, as a multilingual collection the Wikipedia is only very weakly linked. There are few cross-language links or cross-dialect links (see, for example, Chinese dialects). In order to link the multilingual-...
