The main goal of our participation in the NTCIR Workshop is to evaluate relatively simple yet practical methods for CLIR using Korean queries for English and Chinese documents. We employed dictionary-based query translation methods for both cases but with different translation ambiguity resolution techniques. The KoreanEnglish CLIR was quite successful, but the Korean-Chinese CLIR resulted in unexpectedly low performance. While our analysis is still in progress, we found several problems related to the bilingual dictionary used for this experiments and identified issues to be considered in the future. Keywords: Korean-English CLIR, Korean-Chinese CLIR, translation ambiguity resolution, dictionary-based query translation 1.
