MOOC-CS Graph Gain Requires Language-Matched Controls

On the MOOC-CS prerequisite benchmark, graph-aware retrieval gains under the default English-only setup are limited, and become substantial only after introducing language-matched query and encoder controls (matching the language of the query and the encoder to the underlying course materials). The result is reported under the paper's strict-parity contract, which fixes the candidate pool, cutoff kk, matching rule, and split policy and varies only the language-matching condition, so the change in graph gain is attributable to language matching rather than to graph policy. The finding illustrates that graph-specific gains can be masked or inflated by interface choices that are unrelated to graph structure.
