Abstract
We descride a method for fully automated cross-language document retrieval in which no query translation is required. Queries in one language can retrieve documents in other languages (as well as the original language). This is accomplished by a method that automatically constructs a multi-lingual semantic space using Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI). We present strong preliminary test results for our cross-language LSI (CL-LSI) method for a French-English collection. We also provide some evidence that this automatic method performs comparably to a retrieval method based on machine translation (MT-LSI).
