This paper describes the systems used by CRL in the Cross-lingual IR and Q&A tracks. The cross-language experiment was unique in that it was run interactively with a mono-lingual user simulating how a true cross-language system might be used. The methods used in the Q&A system are based on language processing technology developed at CRL for machine translation and information extraction.
