Abstract

In a multi-language Information Retrieval setting, the knowledge about the language of a user query is important for further processing. Hence, we compare the performance of some typical approaches for language detection on very short, query-style texts. The results show that already for single words an accuracy of more than 80% can be achieved, for slightly longer texts we even observed accuracy values close to 100%. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
