Abstract
For our third participation in the CLEF evaluation campaign, our first objective was to propose more effective and general stopword lists for the Swedish, Finnish and Russian languages, along with an improved, more efficient and simpler stemming procedure for these three languages. Our second goal was to suggest a combined search approach based on a data fusion strategy that would work with various European languages. Included in this combined approach is a decompounding strategy for the German, Dutch, Swedish and Finnish languages.
