Abstract 

Mandarin-English Information (MEI) is one of the four projects selected for the Johns Hopkins University Summer Workshop 2000. We plan to develop technologies for using written queries to search spoken documents (cross-media) between English and Mandarin Chinese (cross-language). Our research focus is on the integration of speech recognition and machine translation technologies in the context of translingual speech retrieval. We plan to work on the problems of: (i) indexing Mandarin Chinese audio with word and subword unites, (ii) translating variable-size units for cross-language information retrieval, and (iii) devising effective retrieval strategies for English text queries and Mandrin Chinese news audio.
