Comparison of Word-Based and Syllable-Based Retrieval for Tibetan

Hackett, Paul G.; Oard, Douglas W.

Tibetan retrieval based on automatically segmented words is compared with the use of overlapping syllable n-grams using a known-item retrieval evaluation. The optimal span of fixed-length n-grams is found to be 2 syllables, and indexing words is found to be as effective as indexing syllable bigrams.
