Hybrid Batch Training for Robust Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual Retrieval in MIRACL

Information retrieval across different languages is an increasingly important challenge in natural language processing. Recent approaches based on multilingual pre-trained language models have achieved remarkable success, yet they often optimize for either monolingual, cross-lingual, or multilingual retrieval performance at the expense of others. This paper proposes a novel hybrid batch training strategy to simultaneously improve zero-shot retrieval performance across monolingual, cross-lingual, and multilingual settings while mitigating language bias. The approach fine-tunes multilingual lang

Research goal: How does hybrid batch training affect the robustness of zero-shot cross-lingual retrieval on MIRACL under domain-shifted queries compared to standard contrastive learning?
