Cross-Language Information Retrieval Resources
This page was designed as a resource for people conducting research in
Cross-Language Information
Retrieval (CLIR) during the second "golden age" of CLIR (the first
such age having extended from 1964-1985, principally working at that
time on thesaurus-based techniques). It was intended to collect
references to all information on information retrieval systems which
can accept queries in one language and return documents in another.
It was created by the Digital
Library Research Group of the College of Information Studies at
the University of Maryland. The information was most current and
complete between 1995 and 1999. No updates have been made since
2002, so many not the links are no longer working. The Internet Archive's cached copies of this
page should be useful as a way of recovering broken links, however.
- December
1997 D-lib Magazine Article
- An introduction to cross-language information
retrieval. A web page that was prepared for a public lecture here at Maryland
provides another perspective on the topic.
- Conferences
- An excellent source of information. This page
includes links to the full proceedings of most major cross-language
information retrieval workshops as well as to a fairly complete list of
upcoming conferences and workshops that include some treatment of
cross-language information retrieval.
- Cross-Language Information Retrieval Papers
and Project Descriptions
- Another excellent place to look for information. Here you will
find descriptions of experimental work on cross-language text
retrieval that may not have been presented at one of the major
workshops
- Working Systems
- Here you will find links to experimental and commercial
cross-language information retrieval systems that you can either
obtain or use over the net. Some carry a fairly hefty price tag,
others are free.
- Related Resource Pages
- Web pages which collect links to resources that may be of
interest to cross-language information retrieval researchers. None of
these pages are devoted solely to cross-language information
retrieval.
