	abstract = {In this year{\textquoteright}s Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation (FIRE), the University of Maryland participated in the Retrieval of Indic Script OCRed Text (RISOT) task to experiment with the retrieval of Bengali script OCR{\textquoteright}d documents. The experiments focused on evaluating a retrieval strategy motivated by recent work on Cross-Language Information Retrieval (CLIR), but which makes use of OCR error modeling rather than parallel text alignment. The approach obtains a probability distribution over substitutions for the actual query terms that possibly correspond to terms in the document representation. The results reported indicate that this is a promising way of using OCR error modeling to improve CLIR.},
