The application of methods such as Latent Semantic Indexing to parallel corpora are well known in that area. Words in documents of the same subject domains do not co-occur randomly but they rather create semantic clusters, they show semantic implicit interdependencies among them. Words belonging to the same subject domain in a different language share the same semantic space. In the third topic we examined Web based CLIR . The system design allows the parameterisation both of the summarisation process and the languages being summarised.
Summarisation is based on sentence selection.
The system uses MT to translate the produced summaries from other languages into English. Keizai 's query translation presents extended English definitions of query terms and phrases together with their Japanese and Korean translations. The user selects the most appropriate English definition and is responsible for query term disambiguation. We take this opportunity to thank all those who have contributed to the success of this workshop, the authors, the programme committee members and the local organisers.
