Item TREC-8 Experiments at Maryland: CLIR, QA and Routing(2000-06-21) Oard, Douglas W.; Wang, Jianqiang; Lin, Dekang; Soboroff, IanThe University of Maryland team participated in four aspects of TREC-8: the ad hoc retrieval task, the main task in the cross-language retrieval (CLIR) track, the question answering track, and the routing task in the filtering track. The CLIR method was based on Pirkola's method for Dictionary-based Query Translation, using freely available dictionaries. Broad-coverage parsing and rule-based matching was used for question answering. Routing was performed using Latent Semantic Indexing in profile space.
