Abstract
This paper presents the experiments undertaken by the IRIT team in the multilingual, bilingual and monolingual tasks of the CLEF evaluation campaign. Our approach is based on query translation. The queries were translated using free dictionaries and then disambiguated using an aligned corpus. The experiments were done using our connexionist system Mercure.
