AI models struggle with Tulu legal text due to script and RAG conflicts

A new arXiv paper explores cross-lingual transfer learning for low-resource languages, specifically focusing on Tulu legal comprehension. Researchers tested models like Llama 3, Hex-1, and Sarvam, finding that script-dependent transliteration aided comprehension but also led to script-dependent performance. The study also revealed that retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) frameworks can induce knowledge conflicts, causing models to substitute facts or confabulate information, highlighting issues in parsing and reasoning rather than corpus content.

    Cross Lingual Transfer in Tulu Legal Comprehension: Script-Dependent Improvement and RAG-Induced Knowledge Conflict

    arXiv:2608.28645v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Low-resource languages without an adequate training corpus often use a related, higher-resource language as a scaffold for comprehension. Still, there is a need to develop rigorous evaluation methods to identify when models fail i…
