Abstract

In our participation in this evaluation campaign, our first objective was to analyze retrieval effectiveness when using The European Library (TEL) corpora composed of very short descriptions (library catalog records) and also to evaluate the retrieval effectiveness of several IR models. As a second objective we wanted to design and evaluate a stopword list and a light stemming strategy for the Persian (Farsi), a member of the Indo-European family of languages and whose morphology is more complex than of the English language.
