Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly evaluated in multilingual settings, yet their inference behavior in low-resource African languages remains underexplored especially under pure prompting without fine-tuning. We present a systematic study of prompting strategies for Natural Language Inference (NLI) in Swahili, Yoruba, and Hausa using the AfriXNLI benchmark.
arXiv:2606. 08497v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As deep language models (DLMs) are increasingly deployed in high-stakes domains such as healthcare, understanding their decision rationale becomes paramount for ensuring trust, safety, and accountability.

The paper introduces PromptNCE, a zero‑shot method that uses large language models to estimate pointwise mutual information (PMI) by framing conditional probability estimation as a contrastive task with an explicit OTHER category. The authors benchmark PromptNCE against four other prompting‑based estimators on three human‑annotated datasets, finding that PromptNCE achieves the best conditional probability estimates and Spearman correlations up to 0.78 for full PMI. A case study demonstrates the method’s utility for scoring student knowledge summaries in low‑data settings, and the authors release code and prompts for reproducibility.
