Title
Gcon: a graph-based technique for resolving ambiguity in query translation candidates
Abstract
In the field of cross-language information retrieval (CLIR), the resolution of lexical ambiguity is a key challenge. Common mechanisms for the translation of query terms from one language to another typically produce a set of possible translation candidates, rather than some authoritative result. Correctly reducing a list of possible candidates down to a single translation is an enduring problem. Thus far, solutions have concentrated upon the use of the use of term co-occurrence information to guide the process of resolving translation-based ambiguity. In this paper we introduce a new disambiguation strategy which employs a graph-based analysis of generated co-occurrence data to determine the most appropriate translation for a given term.
