CACAO Project at the LogCLEF Track.
Alessio Bosca, Luca Dini · 2009
This paper presents the participation of the CACAO prototype to the Log Analysis for Digital Societies (LADS) task of LogCLEF 2009 track. CACAO (Cross-language Access to Catalogues And On-line libraries) is an EU project devoted to enabling cross-language access to the contents of a federation of digital libraries with a set of software tools for harvesting, indexing and serching over such data. In our experiment we investigated the possibility to exploit the TEL logs data as a source for inferring new translations, thus enriching already existing translation dictionaries; the proposed approach is based on the assumption that users consulting a multilingual digital col-lection are likely to repeat the same query in different languages. We applyed our approach to the logs from TEL and the results obtained are very promising.
