Hybrid Batch Training and Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual Retrieval Latency on 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: How does the hybrid batch training strategy impact the inference latency (ms/query) of 30B-parameter zero-shot cross-lingual retrieval models like MIRACL on the XQuAD benchmark compared to models trained with standard dense retrieval approaches?
