Abstract: Where there are texts in more than one language, it would be desirable if users could give
queries or examples in the language in which they are most competent and obtain relevant
text passages in any language. We have developed and tested a prototype system that makes
this possible. The system is based entirely on a statistical technique that requires no humanly
constructed dictionary, thesaurus, or term bank. The language-independent representation of
text has two steps. In the first, done... (Update)
