Studying the effect and treatment of misspelled queries in Cross-Language Information Retrieval
2016
Information Processing & Management
Preserved Fulltext
In contrast with their monolingual counterparts, little attention has been paid to the effects that misspelled queries have on the performance of Cross-Language Information Retrieval (CLIR) systems. ...
The present work makes a first attempt to fill this gap by extending our previous work on monolingual retrieval in order to study the impact that the progressive addition of misspellings to input queries ...
