Using Statistical Term Similarity for Sense Disambiguation in Cross-Language Information Retrieval 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Mirna Adriani 《Information Retrieval》2000,2(1):71-82
With the increasing availability of machine-readable bilingual dictionaries, dictionary-based automatic query translation has become a viable approach to Cross-Language Information Retrieval (CLIR). In this approach, resolving term ambiguity is a crucial step. We propose a sense disambiguation technique based on a term-similarity measure for selecting the right translation sense of a query term. In addition, we apply a query expansion technique which is also based on the term similarity measure to improve the effectiveness of the translation queries. The results of our Indonesian to English and English to Indonesian CLIR experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the sense disambiguation technique. As for the query expansion technique, it is shown to be effective as long as the term ambiguity in the queries has been resolved. In the effort to solve the term ambiguity problem, we discovered that differences in the pattern of word-formation between the two languages render query translations from one language to the other difficult. 相似文献

Research on cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) has typically been restricted to settings using binary relevance assessments.
In this paper, we present evaluation results for dictionary-based CLIR using graded relevance assessments in a best match
retrieval environment. A text database containing newspaper articles and a related set of 35 search topics were used in the
tests. First, monolingual baseline queries were automatically formed from the topics. Secondly, source language topics (in
English, German, and Swedish) were automatically translated into the target language (Finnish), using structured target queries.
The effectiveness of the translated queries was compared to that of the monolingual queries. Thirdly, pseudo-relevance feedback
was used to expand the original target queries. CLIR performance was evaluated using three relevance thresholds: stringent,
regular, and liberal. When regular or liberal threshold was used, a reasonable performance was achieved. Using stringent threshold,
equally high performance could not be achieved. On all the relevance thresholds the performance of the translated queries
was successfully raised by pseudo-relevance feedback based query expansion. However, the performance of the stringent threshold
in relation to the other thresholds could not be raised by this method. 相似文献

Cross-Language Information Retrieval (CLIR) resources, such as dictionaries and parallel corpora, are scarce for special domains.
Obtaining comparable corpora automatically for such domains could be an answer to this problem. The Web, with its vast volumes
of data, offers a natural source for this. We experimented with focused crawling as a means to acquire comparable corpora
in the genomics domain. The acquired corpora were used to statistically translate domain-specific words. The same words were
also translated using a high-quality, but non-genomics-related parallel corpus, which fared considerably worse. We also evaluated
our system with standard information retrieval (IR) experiments, combining statistical translation using the Web corpora with
dictionary-based translation. The results showed improvement over pure dictionary-based translation. Therefore, mining the
Web for comparable corpora seems promising. 相似文献

文章旨在探讨查询分类技术和跨语言检索技术的关系,前者的应用能否改善后者的系统性能是核心问题。首先提出一种基于查询分类的标准化折扣累积增量评价指标,通过对采用查询分类技术前后信息检索系统的标准化折扣累积增量评价指标的变化进行判断,来检验该评价指标的可用性和有效性。同时,查询分类可以作为降低跨语言检索系统查询翻译的歧义性的技术手段。对大规模查询集随机抽样的查询翻译实验结果表明,本文提出的基于查询分类的查询翻译消歧方法对大部分查询有效,在一些情况下甚至可以直接通过本方法完成查询翻译。结合其他方法进一步消除翻译的歧义性则是下一步的工作内容。 相似文献

A usual strategy to implement CLIR (Cross-Language Information Retrieval) systems is the so-called query translation approach.
The user query is translated for each language present in the multilingual collection in order to compute an independent monolingual
information retrieval process per language. Thus, this approach divides documents according to language. In this way, we obtain
as many different collections as languages. After searching in these corpora and obtaining a result list per language, we
must merge them in order to provide a single list of retrieved articles.
In this paper, we propose an approach to obtain a single list of relevant documents for CLIR systems driven by query translation.
This approach, which we call 2-step RSV (RSV: Retrieval Status Value), is based on the re-indexing of the retrieval documents
according to the query vocabulary, and it performs noticeably better than traditional methods.
The proposed method requires query vocabulary alignment: given a word for a given query, we must know the translation or translations
to the other languages. Because this is not always possible, we have researched on a mixed model. This mixed model is applied
in order to deal with queries with partial word-level alignment. The results prove that even in this scenario, 2-step RSV
performs better than traditional merging methods. 相似文献

In this study the basic framework and performance analysis results are presented for the three year long development process of the dictionary-based UTACLIR system. The tests expand from bilingual CLIR for three language pairs Swedish, Finnish and German to English, to six language pairs, from English to French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Finnish, and from bilingual to multilingual. In addition, transitive translation tests are reported. The development process of the UTACLIR query translation system will be regarded from the point of view of a learning process. The contribution of the individual components, the effectiveness of compound handling, proper name matching and structuring of queries are analyzed. The results and the fault analysis have been valuable in the development process. Overall the results indicate that the process is robust and can be extended to other languages. The individual effects of the different components are in general positive. However, performance also depends on the topic set and the number of compounds and proper names in the topic, and to some extent on the source and target language. The dictionaries used affect the performance significantly. 相似文献

The Effects of Conjunction, Facet Structure, and Dictionary Combinations in Concept-Based Cross-Language Retrieval 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
The paper studies concept-based cross-language information retrieval (CLIR). The document collection was a subset of the TREC collection. The test requests were formed from TREC's health related topics. As translation dictionaries the study used a general dictionary and a domain-specific (=medical) dictionary. The effects of translation method, conjunction, and facet order on the effectiveness of concept-based cross-language queries were studied, and concept-based structuring of cross-language queries was compared to mechanical structuring based on the output of dictionaries. The performance of translated Finnish queries against English documents was compared to the performance of original English queries against the English documents, and the performance of different CLIR query types was compared with one another. No major difference was found between concept-based and mechanical structuring. The best translation method was a simultaneous look-up in the medical dictionary and the general dictionary, in which case cross-language queries performed as well as the original English queries. The results showed that especially at high exhaustivity (the number of mutually restrictive concepts in a request) levels cross-language queries perform well in relation to monolingual queries. This suggests that conjunction disambiguates cross-language queries. An extensive study was made of the relative importance of the concepts of requests. On the basis of the classification data of request concepts it was shown how the order of facets in a query affects cross-language as well as monolingual queries. 相似文献

This study develops regression models for predicting the performance of cross-language information retrieval (CLIR). The model assumes that CLIR performance can be explained by two factors: (1) the ease of search inherent in each query and (2) the translation quality in the process of CLIR systems. As operational variables, monolingual information retrieval (IR) performance is used for measuring the ease of search, and the well-known evaluation metric BLEU is used to measure the translation quality. This study also proposes an alternative metric, weighted average for matched unigrams (WAMU), which is tailored to gauging translation quality for special IR purposes. The data for regression analysis are obtained from a retrieval experiment of English-to-Italian bilingual searches using the CLEF 2003 test collection. The CLIR and monolingual IR performances are measured by average precision score. The result shows that the proposed regression model can explain about 60% of the variation in CLIR performance, and WAMU has more predictive power than BLEU. A back translation method for applying the regression model to operational CLIR systems in real situations is discussed. 相似文献

Cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) has so far been studied with the assumption that some rich linguistic resources such as bilingual dictionaries or parallel corpora are available. But creation of such high quality resources is labor-intensive and they are not always at hand. In this paper we investigate the feasibility of using only comparable corpora for CLIR, without relying on other linguistic resources. Comparable corpora are text documents in different languages that cover similar topics and are often naturally attainable (e.g., news articles published in different languages at the same time period). We adapt an existing cross-lingual word association mining method and incorporate it into a language modeling approach to cross-language retrieval. We investigate different strategies for estimating the target query language models. Our evaluation results on the TREC Arabic–English cross-lingual data show that the proposed method is effective for the CLIR task, demonstrating that it is feasible to perform cross-lingual information retrieval with just comparable corpora. 相似文献

Prior-art search in patent retrieval is concerned with finding all existing patents relevant to a patent application. Since patents often appear in different languages, cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) is an essential component of effective patent search. In recent years machine translation (MT) has become the dominant approach to translation in CLIR. Standard MT systems focus on generating proper translations that are morphologically and syntactically correct. Development of effective MT systems of this type requires large training resources and high computational power for training and translation. This is an important issue for patent CLIR where queries are typically very long sometimes taking the form of a full patent application, meaning that query translation using MT systems can be very slow. However, in contrast to MT, the focus for information retrieval (IR) is on the conceptual meaning of the search words regardless of their surface form, or the linguistic structure of the output. Thus much of the complexity of MT is not required for effective CLIR. We present an adapted MT technique specifically designed for CLIR. In this method IR text pre-processing in the form of stop word removal and stemming are applied to the MT training corpus prior to the training phase. Applying this step leads to a significant decrease in the MT computational and training resources requirements. Experimental application of the new approach to the cross language patent retrieval task from CLEF-IP 2010 shows that the new technique to be up to 23 times faster than standard MT for query translations, while maintaining IR effectiveness statistically indistinguishable from standard MT when large training resources are used. Furthermore the new method is significantly better than standard MT when only limited translation training resources are available, which can be a significant issue for translation in specialized domains. The new MT technique also enables patent document translation in a practical amount of time with a resulting significant improvement in the retrieval effectiveness. 相似文献

We present a system for multilingual information retrieval that allows users to formulate queries in their preferred language and retrieve relevant information from a collection containing documents in multiple languages. The system is based on a process of document level alignments, where documents of different languages are paired according to their similarity. The resulting mapping allows us to produce a multilingual comparable corpus. Such a corpus has multiple interesting applications. It allows us to build a data structure for query translation in cross-language information retrieval (CLIR). Moreover, we also perform pseudo relevance feedback on the alignments to improve our retrieval results. And finally, multiple retrieval runs can be merged into one unified result list. The resulting system is inexpensive, adaptable to domain-specific collections and new languages and has performed very well at the TREC-7 conference CLIR system comparison. 相似文献
