Abstract

Evaluation exercises in Cross-Language Information Retrieval (CLIR) have so far been limited to the location of potentially relevant documents from within electronic text collections. Although there has been considerable progress in recent years much further research is required in CLIR, and clearly one focus of future research must continue to address fundamental retrieval issues. However, CLIR is now sufficiently mature to broaden the investigation to consider some new challenges. Two interesting further areas of investigation are the user experience of accessingin formation from retrieved documents in CLIR, and the extension of existing research to cross-language methods for multimedia retrieval.
