Multimodal Data Integration in Hybrid Batch Training for Zero-Shot Multilingual 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 effect of incorporating multimodal data (e.g., image-text pairs) during hybrid batch training on the zero-shot retrieval performance of multilingual models on the M2M100 and MuREC benchmarks?
