20100082511JOINT RANKING MODEL FOR MULTILINGUAL WEB SEARCH - Described is a technology in which a classifier is built to rank documents of different languages found in a query based at least in part on similarity to other documents and the relevance of those other documents to the query. A joint ranking model, e.g., based upon a Boltzmann machine, is used to represent the content similarity among documents, and to help determine joint relevance probability for a set of documents. The relevant documents of one language are thus leveraged to improve the relevance estimation for documents of different languages. In one aspect, a hidden layer of units (neurons) represents clusters (corresponding to relevant topics) among the retrieved documents, with an output layer representing the relevant documents and their features, and edges representing a relationship between clusters and documents.04-01-2010
