Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0227536A1] An extension of an inverse inference search engine (Fig. 1) provides cross language document retrieval, in which the information matrix (52) used as input to the inverse inference engine is organized into rows of blocks (58) corresponding to languages within a predetermined set of natural languages. The information matrix (52) is organized into two column-wise partitions (60). The first partition consists of blocks of entries representing fully translated documents, while the second partition is a matrix of blocks of entries representing documents for which translations are not available in all of the predetermined languages.
