Workshop on Machine Translation for Cross Language Information Retrieval
----------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction
The goal of this workshop is to explore the role of MT in the context of
CLIR. Undoubtedly searching, extracting and summarising information from the
Web is a major challenge demanding multilingual solutions. Despite the fact
that currently much textual WWW information is in English, the situation is
radically changing. In addition, there is an increased amount of users who
would prefer to use sites and/or query in their native language. There are
different strategies for CLIR involving document translation, query
translation, use of dictionaries. The adoption of a strategy depends on
the user profile, the level of user interaction intended in the search
process, the targeted use of the documents retrieved and the availability of
linguistic resources, among others.
We invite papers on topics which link advances in Machine Translation or
related technologies to CLIR. Are existing MT solutions sufficient for the
information access demands of today? What type of MT linguistic analysis
would be useful for CLIR? How can we identify the proper translations of
query terms? How can we improve on existing techniques to improve precision
and recall? A non-exhaustive list, which should serve as a starting point,
follows:
* Issues in query translation and query expansion
* Alignment techniques for dictionary building
* Level and type of linguistic MT analysis for CLIR (shallow, chunking,
.....)
* Type of multilingual resources (corpora, dictionaries, terminologies)
used in CLIR
* Role of terminology and ontologies in CLIR
* Translation Memories in CLIR
* Translation of index terms and descriptors
* CLIR involving Asian languages (problems and challenges)
Participation and Submission of Papers
Participation is limited to 30 persons. Participants will be selected by the
organizing committee, based on submitted papers. Participants will be
expected to contribute to the workshop by either presenting a talk or
taking part in the discussions.
Researchers interested in participating in the workshop are invited to
submit long abstracts (up to three pages) on the listed research topics.
Submissions may be sent by e-mail (PostScript files) or as hardcopies
(in triplicate) to the workshop organiser. In the case where you use
non-Roman fonts, hardcopies are preferred.
The submissions will be reviewed and the accepted papers will be published
in the workshop proceedings. Participants selected for giving a talk, will
have
to submit a full paper (up to 8 pages) for the workshop proceedings.
For more information about the workshop, please contact the Workshop
Organiser.
