Hybrid Batch Strategy for Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual Retrieval Robustness in XQuAD

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: Does the proposed hybrid batch strategy improve zero-shot cross-lingual retrieval robustness on XQuAD when evaluated against standard multilingual fine-tuning baselines?
