This study introduces novel approaches for filtering texts regardless of their source language. We begin with a brief description of related developments in text filtering and multilingual information retrieval. We then present three alternative approaches to selecting texts from a multilingual information stream which represent a logical evolution from existing techniques in related disciplines. Finally, a practical automated performance evaluation technique is proposed}, keywords = {automated performance evaluation, Business communication, Computer science, Discussion forums, Displays, Educational institutions, Floods, Government, Information filtering, Information filters, Information retrieval, multilingual information retrieval, multilingual text filtering, natural languages, performance evaluation}, isbn = {0-7803-2129-4}, doi = {10.1109/ICSMC.1994.400083}, author = {Oard, Douglas and DeClaris,N. and Dorr, Bonnie J and Faloutsos,C.} }
