An emerging requirement to sift through the increasing flood of text information has led to the rapid development of information filtering technology in the past five years. This study introduces novel approaches for filtering texts regardless of their source language. We begin with a brief description of related developments in text filtering and multilingual information retrieval. We then present three

This paper describes an approach to analyzing the lexical structure of OCRed bilingual dictionaries to construct re- sources suited for machine translation of low-density languages, where online resources are limited. A rule-based, an HMM-based, and a post-processed HMM-based method are used for rapid construction of MT lexicons based on sys- tematic structural clues provided in the original dictionary. We evaluate

This technical report is an overview of work done on Headline Generation for written and broadcast news. The report covers HMM Hedge, a statistical approach based on the noisy channel model, Hedge Trimmer, a parse-and- trim approach using linguistically motivated trimming rules, and Topiary, a combination of Trimmer and Unsupervised Topic Discovery. Automatic evaluation of summaries using ROUGE and BLEU

We implemented,an initial application of a sentence-trimming approach (Trim- mer) to the problem of multi-document summarization,in the MSE2005 task. Sentence trimming,was incorporated into a feature-based summarization,sys- tem, called Multi-Document Trimmer (MDT), by using sentence trimming as both a pre-processing stage and a fea- ture for sentence ranking. We demon- strate that we were able to port Trimmer easily to

:This paper addresses the problem of building conceptual resources for multilingual applications. We describenew techniques for large-scale construction of a Chinese-English lexicon for verbs, using thematic-role informationto create links between Chinese and English conceptual information. We then present an approachto compensating for gaps in the existing resources. The resulting lexicon is used for multilingual applicationssuch as machine translation and cross-language
