    <Paragraph position="0"> This paper introduced two new features of the BRIDJE system, namely, partial disambiguation for effective CLIR and document summarisation/presentation based on Semantic Role Analysis. We showed that the advantage of partial disambiguation over full disambiguation is consistent across five test collections, with four English-Japanese and two Japanese-English topic sets. As for document presentation using the Information Distiller, we have provided examples as well as preliminary evaluations to show that it can be useful for efficient and interactive cross-language information access. Topics of our future work include: Improving partial disambiguation by being more selective; Extensive and user-oriented evaluations of the Information Distiller; User-oriented query expansion using the Information Distiller; Expanding our language scope, for example, to Chinese; and Building a true cross-language question answering system.</Paragraph>
