How does negative sampling performance compare to domain-specific fine-tuning when evaluated on out-of-domain

Abstract

Abstract: Detecting toxic content using language models is crucial yet challenging. While substantial progress has been made in English, toxicity detection in French remains underdeveloped, primarily due to the lack of culturally relevant, human-annotated, large-scale datasets. In this work, we release ToxiFrench, a dataset of 53,622 French online comments together with a balanced benchmark split for systematic evaluation. The dataset is constructed via a semi-automated annotation pipeline that reduces manual labeling to only 10\% through high-confidence LLM-based pre-annotation and human verification, w

Research Question

How does negative sampling performance compare to domain-specific fine-tuning when evaluated on out-of-domain datasets in the MRQA benchmark suite using 7B and 70B parameter models?
