Eurovision - cross-language image retrieval

<BODY> <P><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="-1"><B><FONT SIZE="+1">Welcome to Eurovision web site</FONT></B></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="-1"></FONT></P> <P><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="-1">Eurovision explores cross language retrieval of images via their captions. The aim of the project is to build and test an image Cross Language Information Retrieval (CLIR) system, where users can search for images via their captions in languages they have no knowledge of. In a picture archive, images are described by their captions and users want to retrieve from the collection regardless of the language they speak. For any vendor of an image library, use of CLIR offers the opportunity of broadly expanding the range of potential searchers of their library.</FONT></P> </BODY>
