Institutions collect far more open-ended teaching-evaluation feedback than they read. A prior study introduced a validated protocol for classifying such comments by thematic category and sentiment, built from a documented annotation guide, an intra-annotator reliability measurement, stratified cross-validation, and a held-out evaluation on a Spanish institutional corpus with a frozen-encoder design.
arXiv:2607. 04581v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Text embeddings for Portuguese have no dedicated benchmark: evaluation rests on translated corpora such as English MS MARCO or on thin multilingual coverage, with native tasks scattered and unconsolidated.

arXiv:2608. 05785v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multilingual text embedding models are commonly adapted using a single training objective across diverse tasks, despite different tasks requiring fundamentally different optimization strategies.

arXiv:2510. 15551v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Any piece of knowledge is usually expressed in one or a handful of natural languages on the web or in any large corpus.

arXiv:2607. 19243v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate remarkable multilingual fluency, their internal knowledge representations remain disproportionately biased toward high-resource languages.

arXiv:2608. 15964v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language-specific competency (LSC) is the phenomenon of a language model performing better or worse depending on the language of the prompt.

arXiv:2607. 05937v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sentiment analysis with frozen pre-trained language model (PLM) backbones has become a common paradigm, yet the practical benefit of explicit domain adaptation remains unclear, particularly when backbones encode varying degrees of target-domain knowledge.

arXiv:2503. 05500v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: General-purpose multilingual vector representations, used in retrieval, regression and classification, are traditionally obtained from bidirectional encoder models.
