Increasing amounts of user-generated video content are being uploaded to online repositories. This content is often very uneven in quality and topical coverage in different languages. The lack of material in individual languages means that cross-language information retrieval CLIR within these collections is required to satisfy the user's information need. Search over this content is dependent on available metadata, which includes user-generated annotations and often noisy transcripts of spoken…

This work introduces three speech segment-based methods for QE using: Semantic segmentation, Discourse segmentation and Window-Based using a version of the MediaEval 2012 Search task newly extended as an adhoc search task.

Towards effective cross-lingual search of user-generated internet speech

This thesis proposes novel methods to estimate the quality of translation for cross-lingual UGS search and presents a novel framework specifically designed for predicting of the effectiveness of QE.

Identifying Effective Translations for Cross-lingual Arabic-to-English User-generated Speech Search

The potential for improving CLIR effectiveness is examined by predicting the translation effectiveness using Query Performance Prediction (QPP) techniques and a novel QPP method is proposed to estimate the quality of translation for an Arabic-English Cross-lingual User-generated Speech Search (CLUGS) task.

Experimental results show that this approach can significantly outperform state-of-the-art results reported for monolingual and cross-lingual environments and indicates that inter-language PRF is particularly helpful for queries with poor translation quality.

VideoCLEF 2009 offered three tasks related to enriching video content for improved multimedia access in a multilingual environment, involving automatic tagging of videos with subject theme labels and linking video to material on the same subject in a different language.

A language specific technique for applying the correct stemming approach, as well as for removing the correct stopwords from the queries, is developed for retrieving relevant documents from a multilingual corpus of Web documents from Web sites of European governments.

Overview of the CLEF-2005 Cross-Language Speech Retrieval Track

The task for the CLEF-2005 cross-language speech retrieval track was to identify topically coherent segments of English interviews in a known-boundary condition, and results indicate that monolingual search technology is sufficiently accurate to be useful for some purposes.

Probabilistic models of information retrieval based on measuring the divergence from randomness

A framework for deriving probabilistic models of Information Retrieval using term-weighting models obtained in the language model approach by measuring the divergence of the actual term distribution from that obtained under a random process is introduced.
