5 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper, we proposed a Japanese/English cross-language information retrieval system, targeting technical documents. We combined a query translation module, which performs  compound wor(1 translation and transliteration, with an existing monolingual retrieval method. Our experimental results showed that compound word translation and transliteration methods individually improve on the baseline performance, and when used together the improvement is even greater. Future work will inelude the application of automatic word alignment methods (Fung, 1995; Smadja et al., 1996) to enhance the dictionary.</Paragraph>
