URCHIN: A Horizontal Spiking Language Model for Data-Constrained Pretraining

Researchers introduce URCHIN, a spiking neural language model designed for pretraining on small, developmentally plausible text corpora, as targeted by the BabyLM challenge. The work argues that most existing language models ignore the biological properties of the neural circuitry that underlies human language acquisition. It tests how much language a model can learn from child-scale data instead of internet-scale datasets.

Looped GPT-BERT Shows Small Language Models Can Trade Parameters for Computation

Researchers examined looped variants of GPT-BERT for the BabyLM 2026 shared task, in which a compact set of layers is executed repeatedly rather than stacking many distinct ones. Their findings suggest that reapplying a small parameter budget can match the performance of larger models when training data is scarce. The work positions recurrence as a compute-for-parameters trade-off for building efficient low-resource language models.
