Comparative Analysis of Hybrid Batch Training Against XLM-R and mBERT for Zero-Shot Multilingual Retrieval on MIRACL and MLDoc

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 the hybrid batch training strategy proposed in the paper compare to other multilingual retrieval methods like XLM-R or mBERT in terms of zero-shot performance on MIRACL and MLDoc benchmarks?
