Since song titles in non-English languages (Hindi in our case) are mostly present as Roman transliterations of the native script, both the queries and documents have a large number of valid variations. We address this problem by using a Roman to Hindi transliteration engine coupled with appropriate ranking and implementation strategies. Out of 100 test cases, our system could generate the correct suggestion for 91 queries.}, publisher = {WWW 2011}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/query-completion-without-query-logs-for-song-search/}, pages = {31-32}, edition = {Companion of World Wide Web Conference}, }
