| Challenge: | Existing mRAG systems suffer from a language bias during reranking, systematically favoring English and the query’s native language. |
| Approach: | They propose a language-agnostic utility-driven reranker alignment technique to mitigate language bias during re-ranking. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach mitigates language bias and consistently improves mRAG performance across languages. |

| Challenge: | Recent studies have discovered notable disparities in their performance across different languages. |
| Approach: | They conduct a systematic investigation into the behaviors of large language models across 27 different languages on 3 different scenarios and reveals a Linguistic Map correlates with the richness of available resources and linguistic family relations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model demonstrates that there are significant disparities in performance across languages across 27 different languages on 3 different scenarios. |
ProtoQA: A Question Answering Dataset for Prototypical Common-Sense Reasoning (2020.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing question answering datasets for common sense reasoning are lacking for prototypical situations. |
| Approach: | They propose a question answering dataset for training and evaluating common sense reasoning capabilities of artificial intelligence systems in such prototypical situations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms existing models on all evaluation metrics with a meaningful gap. |
