The First ChineseBabyLM Challenge: training data-efficient and cognitively plausible language models for Chinese
Siyuan Song, Zhiheng Qian, Yunhao Zhang +11
This paper presents the first ChineseBabyLM Challenge, organized as part of NLPCC 2026. The challenge asked participants to train language models from scratch using no more than 10…
Direct Simultaneous Translation Activation for Large Audio-Language Models
Pei Zhang, Yiming Wang, Jialong Tang +4
Simultaneous speech-to-text translation (Simul-S2TT) aims to translate speech into target text in real time, outputting translations while receiving source speech input, rather tha…
A Systematic Assessment of Language Models with Linguistic Minimal Pairs in Chinese
Yikang Liu, Yeting Shen, Hongao Zhu +9
We present ZhoBLiMP, the largest linguistic minimal pair benchmark for Chinese, with over 100 paradigms, ranging from topicalization to the \textit{Ba} construction. We then train…
PolyMath: Evaluating Mathematical Reasoning in Multilingual Contexts
Yiming Wang, Pei Zhang, Jialong Tang +12
In this paper, we introduce PolyMath, a multilingual mathematical reasoning benchmark covering 18 languages and 4 easy-to-hard difficulty levels. Our benchmark ensures difficulty c…
Sampling-Efficient Test-Time Scaling: Self-Estimating the Best-of-N Sampling in Early Decoding
Yiming Wang, Pei Zhang, Siyuan Huang +4
Test-time scaling enhances large language model performance by allocating additional compute resources during inference. Best-of-N (BoN) sampling serves as a common sampling-based…
Translationese-index: Using Likelihood Ratios for Graded and Generalizable Measurement of Translationese
Yikang Liu, Wanyang Zhang, Yiming Wang +6
Translationese refers to linguistic properties that usually occur in translated texts. Previous works study translationese by framing it as a binary classification between original…
