Abstract
This paper describes the application of the two-step RSV and mixed two-step RSV merging methods in the multilingual-4 and multilingual-8 tasks at CLEF 2003. We study the performance of these methods compared to previous studies and approaches. A new strategy for dealing with compound words which uses predefined vocabularies for automatic decomposition is also presented and evaluated.
