English-German Cross-Language Retrieval for the GIRT Collection - Exploiting a Multilingual Thesaurus
Fredric C. Gey, Hailing Jiang · 2006
For TREC-8, the Berkeley experiments concentrated on the special GIRT col-lection. We utilized the GIRT thesaurus in multiple ways in working on English-German Cross-Language IR. Since the GIRT collection is truly multilingual (doc-uments contain both German and English text), one would expect multilingual queries to achieve the best performance. This proved not to be the case. 1
