Abstract
For our first participation in the CLEF multilingual task, we present a new approach to obtain a single list of relevant documents for CLIR systems based on query translation. This new approach, which we call two-step RSV, is based on the re-indexing of the retrieval documents according to the query vocabulary, and it performs noticeably better than traditional methods1.
