My goal in this presentation isto provide a common framework for our discussion of cross-language text retrieval. The taxonomy I describe is only one way of depicting what is actually a fairly complex faceted classification scheme, but it provides a fairly clear way to describe where each approach that we will discuss fits into the range of possibilities that have been explored. I am hopeful that our colleagues interested in speech retrieval will also find this taxonomy useful for their purposes when considering the potential for cross-language speech retrieval systems.
