Distill Where the Student Goes: Teacher-Regularized RL for English-Evidence Cross-Lingual RAG

Overview

arXiv:2607.02966v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cross-lingual retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is often deployed in an English-evidence regime, where users query in diverse languages but retrieved passages remain English. In this setting, generation can fail despite strong base models: English evidence induces language drift (English or code-switching outputs) and models use evidence unreliably when producing non-English answers. We attribute these failures to two post-training challenges: (
