Scaling Multilingual Language Models for Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual Retrieval with Hybrid Batch Training

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 scaling the size of multilingual pre-trained language models influence the performance gains from hybrid batch training with contrastive learning objectives on zero-shot cross-lingual retrieval tasks, as measured by exact match and F1 scores on the TyDi QA benchmark?
