A new study published on arXiv explores prompting strategies for Natural Language Inference (NLI) in low-resource African languages, specifically Swahili, Yoruba, and Hausa. Researchers evaluated five different prompting techniques on Llama3.2-3B and Gemma3-4B models, finding that contrastive prompting consistently yielded the best results. The study highlights the critical role of prompt formulation in achieving robust NLI performance for these languages, even outperforming models with few-shot examples or Chain-of-Thought reasoning.
