Impact of Cross-Lingual Training Sample Proportions on Zero-Shot Retrieval Recall in Low-Resource MIRACL Languages

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 varying the proportion of cross-lingual training samples in hybrid batches affect zero-shot retrieval recall@k on low-resource languages within the MIRACL benchmark?
