Abstract

Information Retrieval systems are limited by the linguistic variation of language. The use of Natural Language Processing techniques to manage this problem has been studied for a long time, but mainly focusing on English. In this paper we deal with European languages, taking Spanish as a case in point. Two different sources of syntactic information, queries and documents, are studied in order to increase the performance of Information Retrieval systems.
