Abstract

This paper presents the Cross Language Information Retrieval (CLIR) experiments of Language Technologies Research Centre (LTRC, IIIT-Hyderabad) as part of our participation in the ad-hoc track of CLEF 2006. This is our first participation in the CLEF evaluation campaign and we focused on Afaan Oromo, Hindi and Telugu as source (query) languages for retrieval of documents from English text collection. We have used a dictionary based approach for CLIR. After a brief description of our CLIR system we discuss the evaluation results of various experiments we conducted using CLEF 2006 dataset.
