A novel benchmark framework for linguistic QA retrieval, empirical evidence supporting monolingual IR-specialised models, and insights into retrieval robustness under paraphrastic variation are included, enabling improved QA systems for specialised and low-resource environments.
The results show that English retrieval is already strong under BM25, whereas translated isiZulu queries benefit more clearly from multilingual semantic retrieval, especially at Top-10, and suggest that multilingual semantic retrieval can partly reduce translated-query barriers in open repository access.

MTEB-PT is presented, a Portuguese benchmark constructed from a subset of MMTEB, comprising 14 existing datasets across Semantic Textual Similarity (STS), classification, retrieval, and reranking, and shows that language-specific fine-tuning still improves model performance in Portuguese, especially on task types that...

This paper proposes SeSyCo, a Semantic-Symbolic Knowledge Consensus framework, which leverages the semantic space to diverge monolingual queries into broad multilingual evidence, and subsequently utilize the symbolic space to eliminate language discrepancies, converging the gathered information into a robust consensus...

A query-level analysis shows that BM25 excels at named-entity queries, while dense and hybrid methods improve natural-language, noisy, cross-lingual, and concept queries, and overall CUP enables real-world evaluation of Greek retrieval across lexical, semantic, noisy, and cross-lingual queries.

Cross-lingual information retrieval (CLIR) for low-resource regional languages remains challenging due to limited annotated training data, morphological complexity, and linguistic diversity. This paper systematically investigates Indonesian–Javanese CLIR by integrating traditional sparse lexical retrieval, multilingual...
