Query Expansion via Link Analysis of Wikipedia for CLIR
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we report how we do the query expansion in the NTCIR-7 IR4QA subtask. We submit the results of nine runs of this subtask, which is cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) from English to traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese and Japanese in the official T-run, D-run and DN-run. In these runs, we use the Google online translation service to translate query terms and Wikipedia as an information resource for query expansion (QE), in addition to the OKAPI query expansion.

متن کاملUniversity of Chicago at NTCIR4 CLIR: Multi-Scale Query Expansion
Pseudo-relevance feedback, while useful in monolingual applications for refining and enriching short user queries, proves even more important in crosslanguage information retrieval (CLIR). For CLIR, query expansion before and after translation can provide an opportunity to recover from translation gaps, reduce ambiguity, and enhance recall. Furthermore, for CLIR in unsegmented Asian languages, ...
متن کامل1 On Bidirectional English - Arabic Search
In Cross-Language Information Retrieval (CLIR), queries in one language retrieve relevant documents in other languages. Machine-Readable Dictionaries (MRD) and Machine Translation (MT) systems are important resources for query translation in CLIR. We investigate the use of MT systems and MRD to Arabic-English and English-Arabic CLIR. The translation ambiguity associated with these resources is ...
