arXiv:2607. 04071v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Portuguese remains underrepresented in text embedding evaluation, despite being one of the most widely spoken languages in the world.
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:2606. 28999v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Encoders have become the state of the art for multiple NLP tasks, especially those requiring deep contextual understanding.
State-of-the-art retrieval models increasingly rely on closed training data, creating a reproducibility gap. We present an open end-to-end recipe for training retrieval models and study how English supervision transfers to multilingual retrieval through translate-train.
arXiv:2606. 13647v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce SkMTEB, the first comprehensive MTEB-style text embedding benchmark for Slovak, a low-resource West Slavic language, comprising 31 datasets across 7 task types -- nearly 4$\times$ the depth of existing multilingual benchmark coverage for Slovak.
arXiv:2607. 23507v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Choosing the right text embedding model is one of the most consequential -- and most frequently under-examined -- decisions in building a retrieval or search system, yet the model that tops a leaderboard is rarely the best choice for a given deployment.
arXiv:2604. 18347v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision Language Models (VLMs) achieved rapid progress in the recent years.
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:2608. 02112v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Embedding benchmarks measure standalone model quality, but they do not establish whether a low-cost retriever contributes complementary ranking information once lexical and transformer-based retrieval are already combined.
arXiv:2606. 31718v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Relation extraction (RE) for low-resource languages is typically constrained by the lack of annotated corpora.
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.
arXiv:2607. 11873v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Institutions collect far more open-ended teaching-evaluation feedback than they read.
