Relational BabyLM is a decoder‑only Transformer that replaces standard self‑attention with a Dual Attention Transformer (DAT) to separate object‑level lexical features from structural/relational information. The model incorporates a Next‑Latent Prediction objective to compress history into a dense belief state and introduces a RoPE‑based symbol‑retrieval mechanism. On the BabyLM 2026 challenge, the best model ranks 6th overall and 3rd on the NLP‑task subset, outperforming GPT‑2 on most benchmarks and achieving the highest EWoK score among strict‑track entries.

arXiv:2608. 15360v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) has substantially reduced the hardware cost of adapting Large Language Models (LLMs) by decreasing the number of trainable parameters, recent studies have sought to further improve PEFT through parameter sharing.

SimLens is a training‑free decoder that improves early‑layer predictions in large language models by keeping only the start token and a candidate answer token and performing a lightweight continuation through the remaining layers. It outperforms direct linear readouts, yielding higher accuracy on tasks such as ARC, BoolQ, and HeadQA with LLaMA‑7B and Vicuna‑7B. The method is extended to Linear SimLens for confidence estimation and combined into SimExit, a hybrid early‑exit mechanism that achieves significant speedups while maintaining accuracy.

arXiv:2601. 22588v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are widely used as reference-free evaluators via prompting, but this "LLM-as-a-Judge" paradigm is costly, opaque, and sensitive to prompt design.
