Abstract

Experiments with a multi-lingual web
collection are presented. The EuroGOV
corpus is the first multi-lingual web corpus
for retrieval evaluation. We show how
indexes based on words and n-grams are
developed for different document parts.
Different indexes were based on the full
document content, partial content and the
title. The best results were achieved for a
title only index based on words.
