Small Language Models Also Work With Small Vocabularies: Probing the Linguistic Abilities of Grapheme- and Phoneme-Based Baby Llamas (2025.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies on LMs have focused on linguistic generalizations and representations from developmentally plausible data. |
| Approach: | They propose to use phoneme- and grapheme-based language models to learn linguistic units at and below the word level. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models can achieve strong performance on syntactic and novel benchmarks and match grapheme-based models in standard tasks and novel evaluations. |
