SIGIR 2006 WORKSHOP REPORT New Directions in Multilingual Information Access Fredric C. Gey University of California, Berkeley, USA gey@berkeley.edu Noriko Kando National Institute of Informatics, Tokyo, JAPAN kando@nii.ac.jp Chin-Yew Lin Microsoft Research Asia Beijing, CHINA cyl@microsoft.com Carol Peters Italian National Research Council, Pisa, ITALY carol.peters@isti.cnr.it Abstract This workshop attempted to present the state-of-the-art in multilingual information access (MLIA) research and development, including cross-language information retrieval and question-answering and multilingual, multi-document summarization. Our goal was to delineate current research areas as well as suggest new areas for future research and development. The workshop also focused on practical issues of scalability and practical application of MLIA in digital libraries and web portals. In addition to an invited keynote, 17 research and position papers were selected for the proceedings which may be found at http://ucdata.berkeley.edu/sigir2006-mlia.htm. INTRODUCTION At SIGIR 2002 in Finland a successful, standing-room only workshop "Cross-Language Information Retrieval: A Research Roadmap" was organized by three of the organizers of this workshop. Since 2002, research has been vigorously pursued not only in cross-language information retrieval through the Cross-Language Evaluation Forum (CLEF) and NTCIR Asian Language Retrieval and Questionanswering Workshop, but also in multilingual summarization workshops and cross-language named entity extraction challenges
