PSK at WMT 2026 MIST: Task-Specialized QLoRA Adapters for Multilingual Summarization and Question Answering
Srikar Kashyap Pulipaka
Abstract
We describe the PSK submission to the WMT 2026 Multilingual Instruction Shared Task. Our system uses the 3.35B-parameter Tiny Aya Global model with three QLoRA adapters, one for each task. The adapters are trained on multilingual document-summary pairs, passage-based question answering, and filtered standalone question answering. The summarization data also includes scientific papers with their author-written abstracts. On our held-out split, the context and summarization adapters perform better than our multitask adapter, which was trained only on data supplied by the organizers. Results for open QA are mixed and vary with answer length and evaluation method. We therefore submit three systems with the same context and summarization adapters but different open-QA adapters.
