BabyLM Turns 3: Call for papers for the 2025 BabyLM workshop
This is an incremental call for papers and competition entries for a workshop aimed at bridging cognitive modeling and language modeling.
The BabyLM workshop calls for papers and competition entries for 2025, focusing on data-efficient pretraining in a general track and introducing a new INTERACTION track that encourages interactive learning from a teacher with adaptive teaching materials.
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.
