Disclosure-Gated User Simulation for Companion-Agent Evaluation

A disclosure gate conditioning information release on the companion agent's behaviour is answered, with a disclosure gate conditioning information release on the companion agent's behaviour: its state is a ladder of five ordered gates, merged onto three observable depth layers.

Embedded Conditional Independence Tests for Large Language Model Generated Text with an Application to German Parliament Speeches

Embedded CITs (eCITs), which embed X and Z and apply an existing CIT to the resulting representations and to the resulting representations, are proposed and it is shown that sufficiency weakens to mean sufficiency when the embedded test targets conditional mean independence.

Predicting Program Exit Code with LLMs and Programming Language Semantics

This work evaluates open-source coding LLMs under two semantic formalisms and two semantic shifts across Human-Written, LLM-Translated, and Fuzzer-Generated program splits, showing that LLMs lean on pre-training priors rather than systematically applying the given rules.

Latent Recurrent Thoughts: Recurrent Refinement of Proposed Latents for Reasoning with Frozen LLMs

Latent Recurrent Thoughts substantially outperforms prior frozen-decoder continuous-space reasoning methods under an identical decoder, prompt, data, and training budget, and outperforms non-thinking-mode chain-of-thought prompting on the same backbone at a small fraction of its inference compute.

AgentFactory: Towards Automated Agentic System Design and Optimization

AgentFactory is presented, a framework that jointly optimizes both foundation models and workflow structures in agentic systems while considering multiple objectives including performance, cost, and efficiency, and establishes AgentFactory as a promising approach for developing more capable and efficient agentic system...

CARE: Contrastive Anchor-based Rubric Evolution for Large Language Model Post-Training

CARE is proposed, which grounds every rubric evolution step in a high-quality anchor response generated by a frontier model conditioned on the prompt and its rubrics, enabling two complementary mechanisms: an Adaptive branch that reactively repairs reward misspecification; and a Chase branch that proactively converts f...

NormasTCU — A Brazilian Portuguese IR dataset and an evaluation of LLM-as-a-judge for relevance assessment

The results suggest that LLMs could effectively support scalable relevance assessment in specialized Portuguese corpora when evaluated using nDCG or MRR (rank-aware metrics), but they should be avoided when relying on precision or recall.

Critical Acclaim Orientation in Large Language Models: Evidence from Film Preference Elicitation

Large language models (LLMs) are trained on corpora that contain expressions of human judgment about films, books, music, and more. Yet whether LLMs systematically reproduce evaluative hierarchies remains unclear. Prior research on cultural bias in LLMs suggests competing expectations: models may mirror the popularity...

Understanding Automated Program Repair Agents Through the Lens of Traceability: An Empirical Study

This study traces the full decision-making pipelines of the 5 APR agents across 500 real-world repair tasks, from issue description to patch validation, and reveals that, while agents excel at simple fixes, they struggle with logic-intensive bugs.

From Blind Edits to Verified Repair: Building Trustworthy User-Side LLM Agents for Web Accessibility

Three building blocks toward a complete, privacy-preserving browser agent, a verified repair instrument pairing a trilingual seeded-violation benchmark with an audit-inject-verify loop, and a dual-condition protocol that measures harm as carefully as benefit are contributed.

MonitrLLM: A Community-Centered Evaluation Infrastructure for Large Language Models

MonitrLLM is introduced, open-source infrastructure for community-centered LLM evaluations that links full conversation transcripts to user-reported task intent and outcome assessments, treating all three as primary evaluative signals rather than optional metadata.

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.
