Query Expansion and Query Translation as Logical Inference.

Nie, Jian-Yun

Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, v54 n4 p335-46 Feb 15 2003

Examines query expansion during query translation in cross language information retrieval and develops a general framework for inferential information retrieval in two particular contexts: using fuzzy logic and probability theory. Obtains evaluation formulas that are shown to strongly correspond to those used in other information retrieval models. (Author/LRW)
