Cross-Language Information Retrieval and Evaluation

This book presents the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the international Cross-Language Evaluation Forum Workshop organized by the CLEF activity of the European DELOS Network of Excellence for Digital Libraries. The 25 revised papers presented together with an introduction were carefully selected based on two rounds of reviewing. All current aspects of cross-language information retrieval are addressed, ranging from foundational issues and systems evaluation to applications in a variety of fields.
