| Improved cross-language retrieval using backoff translation (2001) | |||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||

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. 1. | |||||||||||||||
