Abstract
This paper reports the work of NTU in the bilingual-retrieval task at CLEF 2001. In this experiment, we compared the effectiveness of several approaches in Chinese-English cross-language information retrieval. Five models were proposed. Model 1 used co-occurrence information in the target language to disambiguate translation equivalents; Model 2 augmented restriction terms to the original queries to restrict the use of query terms in the target language; Model 3 used a Chinese-English WordNet to translate queries; Model 4 combined Model 3 with Model 2; Model 5 merged the queries constructed by Model 2 and 3.
