A Study of Neural Matching Models for Cross-lingual IR (2005.12994v1)
Published 26 May 2020 in cs.IR and cs.CL
Abstract: In this study, we investigate interaction-based neural matching models for ad-hoc cross-lingual information retrieval (CLIR) using cross-lingual word embeddings (CLWEs). With experiments conducted on the CLEF collection over four language pairs, we evaluate and provide insight into different neural model architectures, different ways to represent query-document interactions and word-pair similarity distributions in CLIR. This study paves the way for learning an end-to-end CLIR system using CLWEs.
