BabyLM Turns 3: Call for papers for the 2025 BabyLM workshop
read the original abstract
BabyLM aims to dissolve the boundaries between cognitive modeling and language modeling. We call for both workshop papers and for researchers to join the 3rd BabyLM competition. As in previous years, we call for participants in the data-efficient pretraining challenge in the general track. This year, we also offer a new track: INTERACTION. This new track encourages interactive behavior, learning from a teacher, and adapting the teaching material to the student. We also call for papers outside the competition in any relevant areas. These include training efficiency, cognitively plausible research, weak model evaluation, and more.

Child-directed speech facilitates production, not comprehension, in BabyLMs
CDS-trained BabyLMs show earlier and more appropriate production in a new frame-completion task while FineWeb-edu models lead on comprehension benchmarks, indicating current tests underestimate CDS benefits.
