- Monica Rogati, Yiming Yang. 2003. CONTROL: CLEF-2003 with Open, Transparent Resources Off-Line. Abstract: Corpus-based approaches to CLIR have been studied for many years. However, using commercial MT systems for CLEF has been considered easier and better performing. Our goal is to be one of the CLEF participants who show that the hypothetical performance drop is not large enough to justify the loss of control and transparency, especially for research systems. We participated in two bilingual runs and the small multilingual run using software and data that are free to obtain, transparent and modifiable.
