| Improved Cross-Language Retrieval using Backoff Translation (2007) | |||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||
| The limited coverage of available translation lexicons can pose a serious challenge in some cross-language information retrieval applications. We present two techniques for combining evidence from dictionary-based and corpus-based translation lexicons, and show that backoff translation outperforms a technique based on merging lexicons. | |||||||||||
