Abstract

This paper presents a proposed method integrated with three statistical models including Translation model, Query generation model and Document retrieval model for cross-language document retrieval. Given a certain document in the source language, it will be translated into the target language of statistical machine translation model. The query generation model then selects the most relevant words in the translated version of the document as a query. Finally, all the documents in the target language are scored by the document searching model, which mainly computes the similarities between query and document. This method can efficiently solve the problem of translation ambiguity and query expansion for disambiguation, which are critical in Cross-Language Information Retrieval. In addition, the proposed model has been extensively evaluated to the retrieval of documents that: 1) texts are long which, as a result, may cause the model to over generate the queries; and 2) texts are of similar contents under the same topic which is hard to be distinguished by the retrieval model. After comparing different strategies, the experimental results show a significant performance of the method with the average precision close to 100%. It is of a great significance to both cross-language searching on the Internet and the parallel corpus producing for statistical machine translation systems.
