Interested in developmentally plausible LMs, and the role of child-directed language data? Come to our poster TODAY (Fr 7 Nov, 10.30-12.00) #EMNLP!

Francesca Padovani@frap98.bsky.social · last yr.

“Child-Directed Language Does Not Consistently Boost Syntax Learning in Language Models” I’m happy to share that the preprint of my first PhD project is now online! 🎊 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2505.23689

I'm in Suzhou to present our work on MultiBLiMP, Friday @ 11:45 in the Multilinguality session (A301)! Come check it out if your interested in multilingual linguistic evaluation of LLMs (there will be parse trees on the slides! There's still use for syntactic structure!) arxiv.org/abs/2504.02768

Benchmarks of linguistic minimal pairs are key for LM evaluation & help us overcome the English-centric bias in NLP research Come to our poster TODAY (Fr 7 Nov 10.30-12.00) #EMNLP to meet TurBLiMP, a new benchmark for Turkish, revealing how LLMs deal with free-order, morphologically rich languages

Arianna Bisazza@arianna-bis.bsky.social · last yr.

Proud to introduce TurBLiMP, the 1st benchmark of minimal pairs for free-order, morphologically rich Turkish language! Pre-print: arxiv.org/abs/2506.13487 Fruit of an almost year-long project by amazing MS student @ezgibasar.bsky.social in collab w/ @frap98.bsky.social and @jumelet.bsky.social

Interested in agent simulations of language change & pragmatic naming behavior? Come check our poster TODAY (Fri, Nov 7, 12:30 - 13:30) #EMNLP!

Arianna Bisazza@arianna-bis.bsky.social · 9mo ago

There’s more to Neural Nets than big fat LLMs! We’ve built a NN-agent framework to simulate how people choose the best word in a given communication context (i.e. pragmatic naming behavior). With @yuqing0304.bsky.social, @ecesuurker.bsky.social, Tessa Verhoef, @gboleda.bsky.social

As part of this year's BabyLM challenge, we (researchers from @gronlp.bsky.social and @clausebielefeld.bsky.social diverged from established pretraining paradigm by training only on dialogue data from CHILDES.

With only a week left for #EMNLP2025, we are happy to announce all the works we 🐮 will present 🥳 - come and say "hi" to our posters and presentations during the Main and the co-located events (*SEM and workshops) See you in Suzhou ✈️

Great tips from @jiruiqi.bsky.social about how to choose your reinforcement learning strategy. @gronlp.bsky.social
