Domain-Specific Data Integration in Optimal Transport Distillation for Cross-Lingual Reasoning in Low-Resource Language Models

Benefiting from transformer-based pre-trained language models, neural ranking models have made significant progress. More recently, the advent of multilingual pre-trained language models provides great support for designing neural cross-lingual retrieval models. However, due to unbalanced pre-training data in different languages, multilingual language models have already shown a performance gap between high and low-resource languages in many downstream tasks. And cross-lingual retrieval models built on such pre-trained models can inherit language bias, leading to suboptimal result for low-reso

Research goal: How does the incorporation of domain-specific data into optimal transport distillation impact the cross-lingual reasoning capabilities of low-resource language models, as measured by accuracy on MMLU benchmark questions in non-English languages?
