Scaling Hybrid Batch Training for 200+ Languages in XTREME-R Zero-Shot Retrieval

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: What is the impact of scaling the hybrid batch training strategy to 200+ languages on zero-shot cross-lingual retrieval performance in the XTREME-R benchmark, as measured by F1 scores?
