Prompting shows promising results in few-shot scenarios. However, its strength for multilingual/cross-lingual problems has not been fully exploited. Zhao and Sch\"utze (2021) made initial explorations in this direction by presenting that…

As pre-trained models automate many code intelligence tasks, a widely used paradigm is to fine-tune a model on the task dataset for each programming language. A recent study reported that multilingual fine-tuning benefits a range of tasks…

Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on visual instruction data often improves perceptual capabilities in vision-language models (VLMs) while degrading reasoning performance, creating a persistent reasoning tax during post-training. We investigate…
