Abstract
Among the three main applications using multilinguality, i.e., information retrieval, summarization and text generation, the first one could be considered to be the core and the other two its supporting technologies. Information retrieval using multilinguality often appears in the form of allowing a query specified in a language to be answered by documents or information in one or more different languages. Summarization supports information retrieval by producing a database of intermediate representation of original documents, which contains only central and essential information. Text generation with multilingual capability helps create retrieved information in a desirable natural language. This brief paper identifies some issues regarding these three applications with emphasis on information retrieval.- Anthology ID:
