Researchers have developed a new multilingual corpus, MCN, to address citation needed detection (CND) for lower-resource languages on Wikipedia. Their study demonstrates that small language models (SLMs) fine-tuned with an encoder-style objective outperform larger language models (LLMs) on this task. Notably, SLMs trained solely on English data showed strong cross-lingual performance, suggesting that compact, specialized models are more suitable than LLMs for CND in resource-constrained environments.
