Abstract

See full text

An approach is described for using a query expressed in a source language to retrieve information expressed in a target language. The approach uses a translation dictionary to convert terms in the query from the source language to appropriate terms in the target language. The approach determines viable transliterations for out-of-vocabulary (OOV) query terms by retrieving a body of information based on an in-vocabulary component of the query, and then mining the body of information to identify the viable transliterations for the OOV query terms. The approach then adds the viable transliterations to the translation dictionary. The retrieval, mining, and adding operations can be repeated one or more or times.
