On Arabic-English cross-language information retrieval: a machine translation approach

Machine translation (MT) is an automatic process that translates from one human language to another by using context information. We empirically evaluate the use of an MT-based approach for query translation in an Arabic-English cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) system, called ALKAFI, using the TREC-7 and TREC-9 topics and collections. The effect of the query length on the MT performance is also investigated in order to explore how much context is actually required for successful MT processing.
