Artificial Intelligence’s Transformative Impact on Management, Strategy, and Workplace Dynamics: A Systematic Literature Review

This systematic literature review synthesizes interdisciplinary evidence on how AI transforms leadership and management functions, drives business model innovation, and alters workplace dynamics, with particular attention to Southeast Asian and Philippine contexts.

Latency-Response Theory Model: Evaluating Large Language Models via Response Accuracy and Chain-of-Thought Length

LaRT is proposed, which jointly models both the response accuracy and CoT length by introducing a key correlation parameter between the latent ability and the latent speed, and derives an efficient stochastic approximation Expectation-Maximization algorithm for parameter estimation.

First-Order Efficiency for Probabilistic Value Estimation via A Statistical Viewpoint

This work proposes an Efficiency-Aware Surrogate-adjusted Estimator (EASE) that directly chooses the sampling law and surrogate to minimize the leading mean squared error (MSE), and demonstrates that EASE consistently outperforms existing estimators for various probabilistic values.

SIGMA: Symmetry-aware, Intelligent, Geometric, Multi-objective Adaptive Control for Robust, Dependable Traffic Management

SIGMA converts natural-language emergency commands into priority vectors for a multi-objective actor-critic controller, avoiding manual reward engineering and offers a reliable, language-guided, multi-objective traffic control system with statistical reliability assurance.

What Does a Discrete Diffusion Model Learn?

This framework identifies which law each loss in the literature actually optimizes, recovering MDM, UDM, SEDD, and GIDD as special cases; explains why denoiser and cavity coincide for masked diffusion but not for uniform diffusion; proves that a denoiser parameterization makes the uniform ELBO diverge at initialization...

Scale-Consistent Posterior Dynamics for Diffusion Inverse Problems

Posterior sampling with a pretrained diffusion prior is governed by a conditional score whose intermediate likelihood component is generally intractable. We begin from an ideal one-parameter posterior SDE family in which a stochasticity parameter controls probability-flow transport and stochastic exploration without ch...

Current Strategy for Implementing Advanced Tech to Address Multidrug Resistant Bacteria

These technologies offer promising alternatives to failing antibiotics, especially against pathogens with complex resistance mechanisms, however, limitations include toxicity concerns, immunological variability, immunological variability, lack of clinical validation, and cost barriers.

Designing Reinforcement Learning for Diffusion Models: A Unified Path-Space View

The empirical gap between these method families is identified as a variance-reduction effect rather than a difference in RL principle, and a multi-sample KDE value-gradient estimator that reuses rollout groups, together with scale-bounded weight families that retain stable existing recipes while excluding singular ones...

CausalSmith: A Formally Grounded, Self-Improving Agentic Framework for Automated Research in Causal Inference

A framework for automated theoretical research in causal inference built on the Lean proof assistant, where a proof is checked by a program rather than read by a referee is presented, where a proof is checked by a program rather than read by a referee.

DAGR: State-Conditioned Goal Representations via Difference-Aware Goal Cross-Attention

Goal-conditioned reinforcement learning hinges on how the goal is encoded. Contrastive, metric, temporal-distance, and information-theoretic encoders differ in objective. They still share one trait. None of them sees the current state. Such a state-independent embedding cannot mark which part of the goal still needs ac...

Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar

Zero-knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum-resistant security. The post Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar appeared first on Microsoft Research.
