INFUSER: Influence-Guided Self-Evolution Improves Reasoning

INFUSER is introduced, an iterative co-training framework with two co-evolving roles: a Generator that drafts questions and reference golden answers from a pool of unstructured, automatically collected documents, and a Solver that improves by training on them, and DuGRPO, a dual-normalized variant of GRPO, for generato...

Smooth Piecewise Cutting for Neural Operator to Handle Discontinuities and Sharp Transitions

Neural operators have achieved strong performance in learning solution operators of partial differential equations (PDEs), but their inherently continuous representations struggle to capture discontinuities and sharp transitions. Existing approaches typically approximate such features within continuous function spaces,...

Causal Retention in Interactive Agents: Interface Factorization and Selective Adaptation

This work studies causal retention: whether a frozen learned state answers a mechanism-probe map fixed independently of training, including action, context, direct target, value, and delay, which is distinct from task sufficiency and source-domain decodability.

Cost-Aware Best-LLM Identification using Dueling Feedback

A Track-and-Stop style algorithm for best-arm identification with prescribed confidence is proposed, and it is proved that the algorithm almost surely achieves the asymptotically optimal cost as the error tends to zero.

Strategic Self-Consistency

The results suggest that the distribution of additional reasoning paths generated by the algorithm is heavy-tailed and that substantial capacity to overcharge remains even under the best possible audit designed to keep the false-positive rate below $\alpha = 0.1$.

Adaptive multi-resolution Gaussian processes: Scalable exact inference with naturally data-sparse covariance matrices

Gaussian processes constitute a cornerstone of probabilistic machine learning, yet scaling them to large datasets typically forces a trade-off between computational efficiency and model fidelity. This work bridges this gap by presenting an adaptive multi-resolution Gaussian process framework that is both scalable and e...

DIAL: Position-Debiased LLM Judges with Adaptive Human Preference Calibration

Large language models (LLMs) as a judge enable scalable evaluation, but their judgments can be sensitive to response order and, even after removing such position effects, can still diverge systematically from human preferences.We introduce DIAL, a unified framework that combines abundant LLM comparisons with limited hu...

Atelier: Learning Local Self-Supervised Features for CryoEM Volumes via Hypernetworks

CryoEM map interpretation requires features that are spatially localized, consistent across samples, and informative across spatial scales. Most deep learning methods for map annotation extract features from fixed voxel grids. However, implicit neural representations (INRs) are able to model volumetric data as scale-ag...

Phytochemical Characterisation and Antiinflammatory Evaluation of a Dual Extract In-situ Gel from Sesamum indicum and Rubus idaeus: An In-vitro Study

The raspberry-sesame dual herbal in-situ gel demonstrated favourable physicochemical properties and appreciable in-vitro anti-inflammatory activity, suggesting its potential as a safe topical herbal alternative.

Finding Icebergs in Language-Model Workflow: Diagnosing Latent Structural Fragility with Stochastic Semantic Evidence Graphs

AI-workflow governance cannot be reduced to checking the final answer: an apparently safe answer may rest on a fragile evidence path that ordinary evaluation cannot see, localize or govern, so SSEG moves governance below surface-level output checking into auditable, path-specific decisions about intervention, revalidat...

MultiwayPAM: Multiway Partitioning Around Medoids for LLM-as-a-Judge Score Analysis

LLM-as-a-Judge is a flexible framework for text evaluation, which allows us to obtain scores for the quality of a given text from various perspectives by changing the prompt template. Two main challenges in using LLM-as-a-Judge are computational cost of inference using a large language model (LLM), especially when eval...

What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches us

Jennifer Neville did not want to go into computer science—but that’s exactly where she landed. Neville discusses the starts and stops that led to her professional sweet spot and her work identifying “surprising failures” making it hard for AI to handle complexity.  The post What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches us appeared first on Microsoft Research.
