Dublin City University at CLEF 2005: Cross-Language Spoken Document Retrieval (CL-SR) Experiments
Adenike M. Lam-Adesina, Gareth J. F. Jones · CLEF (Working Notes) · 2005
The Dublin City University participation in the CLEF CL-SR 2005 task concentrated on exploring the application of our existing information retrieval methods based on the Okapi model to the conversational speech data set. This required an approach to determining approximate sentence boundaries within the free-flowing automatic transcription provided. We also performed exploratory experiments on the use of the metadata provided with the document transcriptions. Topics were translated into English using Systran V3.0 machine translation.
