As a principled approach to capturing semantic relations of words in information retrieval, statistical translation models have been shown to outperform simple document language m...
We compare different strategies to apply statistical machine translation techniques in order to retrieve documents which are a plausible translation of a given source document. Fi...
We propose a new probabilistic approach to information retrieval based upon the ideas and methods of statistical machine translation. The central ingredient in this approach is a ...
This paper presents a study of three statistical query translation models that use different units of translation. We begin with a review of a word-based translation model that us...
