University of indonesia participation at query answering-CLEF 2005

We present a report on our participation in the Indonesian-English question-answering task of the 2005 Cross-Language Evaluation Forum (CLEF). We chose to translate an Indonesian query set into English using a commercial machine translation tool called Transtool. We used a linguistic tool, the Monty Tagger, to find the answer to the question in a passage that has the same tagging as the query.
