Synergistic Optimization Effects on Single-Language Retrieval Accuracy 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 simultaneous optimization of monolingual and cross-lingual objectives in the synergistic approach degrade single-language retrieval accuracy on the XQuAD dataset compared to monolingual fine-tuning baselines?
