Abstract. In this paper we describe our submission for iCLEF2006: an interface that allows users to search FLICKR in Arabic for images with captions in a range of languages. We report and discuss the...
Ann Arbor June, Kareem Darwish, Hany Hassan, Ossama Emam
This paper explores the effect of improved morphological analysis, particularly context sensitive morphology, on monolingual Arabic Information Retrieval (IR). It also compares the effect of context...
The GUC goes to TREC 2004: Using whole or partial documents for retrieval and classification (2005)
We were interested in examining the relative effect of using parts of the documents, different combinations of parts of the documents, or whole documents on retrieval and classification. We were also...
