Editing Dictionary-based machine translation (section)

== Multilingual Information Retrieval MLIR ==
"Information Retrieval systems rank documents according to
statistical similarity measures based on the co-occurrence of terms in queries
and documents". The [[multilingual information retrieval|MLIR]] system was created and optimised in such a way that
facilitates dictionary based translation of queries. This is because queries tend to be short, a couple of words, which, despite not
providing a lot of context it is a more feasible than translating whole
documents, due to practical reasons. Despite all this, the MLIR system is
highly dependent on a lot of resources such as automated [[language detection]]
