Hybrid Batch Training for Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual Retrieval Performance on X-Wiki

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 hybrid batch training strategy improve zero-shot cross-lingual retrieval performance (MRR@10) on the X-Wiki benchmark when evaluated across different domains (e.g., scientific, news, conversational) compared to domain-specific fine-tuning?
