Multilingual Information Retrieval using GHSOM

[[abstract]]The Web pages nowadays were written in various languages including English, Chinese, Spanish, etc. There are increasing needs in searching Web pages of different languages using single query. This task is called multilingual information retrieval (MLIR). However, MLIR is difficult to achieve since we need some kind of method to find the associations between linguistic elements of different languages. In this work, we provide a method based on GHSOM to discover the associations between different languages and apply this method on MLIR task. The experiments show that our method provide a promising approach to tackle MLIR task
