NTCIR-3 Chinese, Cross Language Retrieval Experiments Using PIRCS
2002
NTCIR Conference on Evaluation of Information Access Technologies
We participated in the monolingual Chinese, English-Chinese cross language and multilingual retrieval tasks using our PIRCS retrieval system. ...
Two separate retrieval lists were obtained and later combined as final result for some submissions. For cross-lingual and multilingual retrieval, only short-word indexing was used. ...
Acknowledgment This work was partially supported by the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center San Diego, under grant No. N66001-1-8912. The Third NTCIR Workshop, Sep.2001 -Oct. 2002 ...

1996
Proceedings of a workshop on held at Baltimore, Maryland October 13-15, 1998 -
We investigated both English and Chinese ad-hoc information retrieval (IR). ...
Part of our objectives is to study the use of term, phrasal and topical concept level evidence, either individually or in combination, to improve retrieval accuracy. ...
Section 4 presents our work for English ad-hoc retrieval employing term, phrasal and topical concept levels of evidence. Section 5 describes various Chinese retrieval experiments. ...

Different Retrieval Models and Hybrid Term Indexing
2002
NTCIR Conference on Evaluation of Information Access Technologies
Retrieval effectiveness depends on both the retrieval model and how terms are extracted and indexed. For Chinese, Japanese and Korea text, there are no spaces to delimit words. ...
In this evaluation, we found that using the 2-Poisson model with hybrid term indexing can be effective in retrieval. ...
Kwok for commenting our implementation of Pircs, which differs from his system and to Prof. K.F. Wong for making available the TREC data for experimentation. ...

Testing an Entity Ranking Function for English Factoid QA
2007
Text Retrieval Conference
This procedure has been used in our English-Chinese CLQA system [4] , and further updated based on questions from TREC 2006. ...
Our TREC-2006 experiments perform similarly to TREC-2007 and blog data does not seem to have much influence on our simple approach. ...

The TREC-2001 Cross-Language Information Retrieval Track: Searching Arabic Using English, French or Arabic Queries
2001
Text Retrieval Conference
Ten groups participated in the TREC-2001 cross-language information retrieval track, which focussed on retrieving Arabic language documents based on 25 queries that were originally prepared in English. ...
This was the first year in which a large Arabic test collection was available, so a variety of approaches were tried and a rich set of experiments performed using resources such as machine translation, ...
and insights along the way, and to Kareem Darwish for his comments on an earlier version of this paper. ...

The Chinese Text Retrieval Tasks of NTCIR Workshop 2
2001
NTCIR Conference on Evaluation of Information Access Technologies
This paper is a report of Chinese Text Retrieval (CHTR) tasks in NTCIR Workshop 2. CHTR tasks fall into two categories: Chinese-Chinese IR (CHIR) and English-Chinese IR (ECIR). ...
The definitions, schedules, test collection (CIRB010), search results, evaluation, and initial analyses of search results of CHIR and ECIR are discussed in this paper. ...
We would like to thank the participants for their contributions and the relevance judges for their hard working. Special thanks are due to Dr. Noriko Kando for her substantial help. ...

Comparing representations in Chinese information retrieval
1997
Proceedings of the 20th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval - SIGIR '97
The retrieval collection is the approximately 170 MB TREC-5 Chinese corpus of news articles, and 28 queries that are long and rich in wordings. ...
Three representation methods are empirically investigated for Chinese information retrieval: 1-gram (single character), bigram (two contiguous overlapping characters), and short-word indexing based on ...
Conclusion Within the TREC-5 Chinese retrieval environment using our PIRCS engine and where the queries are long and rich, bigram indexing is effective and performs as well as short-word indexing. ...

Probability-Based Chinese Text Processing and Retrieval
2000
Computational intelligence
We discuss the use of probability-based natural language processing for Chinese text retrieval. We focus on comparing different text extraction methods and probabilistic weighting methods. ...
Several document processing methods and probabilistic weighting functions are presented. A number of experiments have been conducted on large standard text collections. ...
We also would like to thank University of Waterloo and University of Regina for providing computer facilities for conducting the experiments reported in the paper. ...

NTCIR-6 Monolingual Chinese and English-Chinese Cross-Lingual Question Answering Experiments using PIRCS
2007
NTCIR Conference on Evaluation of Information Access Technologies
In monolingual Chinese QA, questions are classified based on cue-word and meta-keyword usage patterns. Retrieval is done using sentence units, and indexing is based on bigrams and characters. ...
English-Chinese CLQA starts with English question classification also based on an approach similar to Chinese. Three paths of translation render the question into Chinese strings. ...
Conclusion We performed monolingual Chinese factoid QA experiments using only entity extraction software with our PIRCS retrieval and ad hoc answer ranking formulae and parameters. ...
