Intelligent information access systems (SINAI) at CLEF 2001: Calculating translation probabilities with SemCor

Abstract

This work aims to present an approach for the retrieval of bilingual Spanish-English information based on EuroWordNet and basing itself on another linguistic source such as SemCor, the latter used to calculate the translation probability in words that share same meaning in EuroWordNet. It is, therefore, about evaluating the linguistic aid SemCor, of long-standing tradition in IR tasks, in a bilingual ambience.
