Impact of Hybrid Batch Strategy on Accuracy-Latency Trade-offs in Multilingual Retrieval on BEIR

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 simultaneous optimization of monolingual and cross-lingual objectives in the hybrid batch strategy affect the trade-off between accuracy and inference latency in multilingual retrieval tasks, as benchmarked on the BEIR dataset?
