Information Retrieval with Language Knowledge

The introduction of Swedish made it possible for Lexware(r) to be tested for the first time in CLEF. Lexware is a natural language system applied in an information retrieval task and not an information retrieval system using NLP techniques. Therefore it is interesting to compare its results with other less unusual IR systems. From our experience, we believe that separate evaluation of document description and query building would provide even better testing for our system.
