One of the challenges in information retrieval is attempting to search a corpus of documents that may contain multiple languages. This exploratory study expands upon earlier research employing Latent Semantic Analysis (so called MultiLingual Latent Semantic Indexing, or ML-LSI/LSA). We experiment using this approach, and a new one, in a multilingua...
