PlayTrain: An Efficient Reinforcement Learning Framework for LLM-Generated Adaptable JavaScript Games

Through PlayTrain, an RL framework that combines the abilities of large language models to robustly generate JavaScript games from a minimal human prompt, and an efficient pipeline that can run any JS game in a standard'gym'environment, this work reimagine RL VGE development.

Risk-Conditioned Fine-Tuning of Large Language Models

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in settings where rare but severe harmful generations can have significant consequences. Existing Risk-Averse RLHF addresses this issue by optimizing Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR), but it trains policies for fixed risk levels and therefore cannot adjust the desi...

ASDA: Automated Skill Distillation and Adaptation for Financial Reasoning

Adapting large language models (LLMs) to specialized financial reasoning typically requires expensive fine-tuning that produces model-locked expertise. Training-free alternatives have emerged, yet our experiments show that leading methods (GEPA and ACE) achieve only marginal gains on the FAMMA financial reasoning bench...

Environments as Scaffold: Enriching Feedback to Bootstrap Self-Evolving Agents in Long-Horizon Tasks

This work establishes a feedback design strategy that reformulates environments by transitioning from action guidance to observation enrichment during the later stages of both intra-episode exploration and inter-episode evolution, and reveals that FEEs consistently yield performance improvements over standard settings.

The Failure Happens Before the Drift: The Social Dynamics of Values in LLM Agent Societies

A World Values Survey-grounded simulation framework where culturally diverse agents with different communication styles engage in longitudinal, value-laden discussions suggests that current LLM agents can generate plausible conversations, but remain limited proxies for representing and preserving diverse human value pr...

Training to Protect Research Integrity in the Age of AI-assisted Coding

Poster presented at the 10th Research Software Engineering Conference (RSECon26) in Sheffield, UK, 9-11 September, 2026. Abstract The use of generative AI tools to generate source code or to augment a programmer's own code is ever more widespread in research software development. While evidence of associated gains in p...

Let Me Explain!: Explainable NLP for Understanding Large Language Models

Large Language Models (LLMs) have transformed natural language processing (NLP), but their billions of parameters make them opaque. This lack of transparency is especially problematic in high-risk areas such as healthcare, finance, and content moderation, where understanding model decisions is essential for responsible...

Industrial anomaly detection via RGB-event fusion with multimodal large language models

In complex industrial scenarios, traditional Industrial Anomaly Detection methods often perform poorly under extreme conditions such as low light, high-speed motion, and strong light interference. To address this, we propose RGB-Event Industrial Anomaly Detection via Vision-Language Model (ReIAD-VL), integrating RGB im...

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.
