## 1. Benchmark of Cross-lingual Natural Language Inference ### 1.1 Environment * The training preocess of ERNIE-M model uses Tesla V100 SXM 32GB ### 1.2 Datasets XNLI is a subset of MNLI and has been translated into 14 different kinds of languages including some low-resource languages. The goal of the task is to predict testual entailment (whether sentence A implies / contradicts / neither sentence B). ### 1.3 Benchmark | Model | en | fr | es | de | el | bg | ru | tr | ar | vi | th | zh | hi | sw | ur | Avg | | ---------------------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | | Cross-lingual Transfer | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | XLM | 85.0 | 78.7 | 78.9 | 77.8 | 76.6 | 77.4 | 75.3 | 72.5 | 73.1 | 76.1 | 73.2 | 76.5 | 69.6 | 68.4 | 67.3 | 75.1 | | Unicoder | 85.1 | 79.0 | 79.4 | 77.8 | 77.2 | 77.2 | 76.3 | 72.8 | 73.5 | 76.4 | 73.6 | 76.2 | 69.4 | 69.7 | 66.7 | 75.4 | | XLM-R | 85.8 | 79.7 | 80.7 | 78.7 | 77.5 | 79.6 | 78.1 | 74.2 | 73.8 | 76.5 | 74.6 | 76.7 | 72.4 | 66.5 | 68.3 | 76.2 | | INFOXLM | **86.4** | **80.6** | 80.8 | 78.9 | 77.8 | 78.9 | 77.6 | 75.6 | 74.0 | 77.0 | 73.7 | 76.7 | 72.0 | 66.4 | 67.1 | 76.2 | | **ERNIE-M** | 85.5 | 80.1 | **81.2** | **79.2** | **79.1** | **80.4** | **78.1** | **76.8** | **76.3** | **78.3** | **75.8** | **77.4** | **72.9** | **69.5** | **68.8** | **77.3** | | XLM-R Large | 89.1 | 84.1 | 85.1 | 83.9 | 82.9 | 84.0 | 81.2 | 79.6 | 79.8 | 80.8 | 78.1 | 80.2 | 76.9 | 73.9 | 73.8 | 80.9 | | INFOXLM Large | **89.7** | 84.5 | 85.5 | 84.1 | 83.4 | 84.2 | 81.3 | 80.9 | 80.4 | 80.8 | 78.9 | 80.9 | 77.9 | 74.8 | 73.7 | 81.4 | | VECO Large | 88.2 | 79.2 | 83.1 | 82.9 | 81.2 | 84.2 | 82.8 | 76.2 | 80.3 | 74.3 | 77.0 | 78.4 | 71.3 | **80.4** | **79.1** | 79.9 | | **ERNIR-M Large** | 89.3 | **85.1** | **85.7** | **84.4** | **83.7** | **84.5** | 82.0 | **81.2** | **81.2** | **81.9** | **79.2** | **81.0** | **78.6** | 76.2 | 75.4 | **82.0** | | Translate-Train-All | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | XLM | 85.0 | 80.8 | 81.3 | 80.3 | 79.1 | 80.9 | 78.3 | 75.6 | 77.6 | 78.5 | 76.0 | 79.5 | 72.9 | 72.8 | 68.5 | 77.8 | | Unicoder | 85.6 | 81.1 | 82.3 | 80.9 | 79.5 | 81.4 | 79.7 | 76.8 | 78.2 | 77.9 | 77.1 | 80.5 | 73.4 | 73.8 | 69.6 | 78.5 | | XLM-R | 85.4 | 81.4 | 82.2 | 80.3 | 80.4 | 81.3 | 79.7 | 78.6 | 77.3 | 79.7 | 77.9 | 80.2 | 76.1 | 73.1 | 73.0 | 79.1 | | INFOXLM | 86.1 | 82.0 | 82.8 | 81.8 | 80.9 | 82.0 | 80.2 | 79.0 | 78.8 | 80.5 | 78.3 | 80.5 | 77.4 | 73.0 | 71.6 | 79.7 | | **ERNIE-M** | **86.2** | **82.5** | **83.8** | **82.6** | **82.4** | **83.4** | **80.2** | **80.6** | **80.5** | **81.1** | **79.2** | **80.5** | **77.7** | **75.0** | **73.3** | **80.6** | | XLM-R Large | 89.1 | 85.1 | 86.6 | 85.7 | 85.3 | 85.9 | 83.5 | 83.2 | 83.1 | 83.7 | 81.5 | **83.7** | **81.6** | 78.0 | 78.1 | 83.6 | | VECO Large | 88.9 | 82.4 | 86.0 | 84.7 | 85.3 | 86.2 | **85.8** | 80.1 | 83.0 | 77.2 | 80.9 | 82.8 | 75.3 | **83.1** | **83.0** | 83.0 | | **ERNIE-M Large** | **89.5** | **86.5** | **86.9** | **86.1** | **86.0** | **86.8** | 84.1 | **83.8** | **84.1** | **84.5** | **82.1** | 83.5 | 81.1 | 79.4 | 77.9 | **84.2** | ## 2.
