This paper focuses on the Web-based English-Chinese OOV term translation pattern, and emphasizes particularly on the translation selection strategy based on the fusion of multiple features and the ranking mechanism based on Ranking Support Vector Machine (Ranking SVM). By utilizing the CoNLL2003 corpus for the English Named Entity Recognition (NER) task and selected new terms, the experiments based on different data sources show the consistent results. Our OOV term translation model can

From the experimental results for combining our OOV term translation model with English-Chinese Cross-Language Information Retrieval (CLIR) on the data sets of Text Retrieval Evaluation Conference (TREC), it can be found that the obvious performance improvement for both query translation and retrieval can also be obtained.
