摘要: We investigated using the LDC English/Chinese bilingual wordlists for English-Chinese cross language retrieval. It is shown that Chinese-to-English wordlist can be considered as both a phrase and word dictionary, preferable to English-to-Chinese version in terms of translations translation selection. Additional techniques such target corpus frequency-based term selection weighting were employed. Experiments show over 70% monolingual effectiveness achievable TREC Chinese retrieval environment with short queries few English words.
