We construct neural approximation classes native to the graph spaces H(div) and H(curl), in two and three dimensions and, for H(div), in any dimension. Every realization lies in the space for all parameter values, and with kinked potentials, such as ReLU networks, the admissible jumps appear at finite width. The classe...
Neural audio synthesis models like the Realtime Audio Variational autoEncoder (RAVE) achieve impressive genera tion quality, yet how their internal representations encode musical features remains poorly understood. We present a systematic layer-wise and cross-layer cluster analysis of RAVE decoder activations across th...

We study sequential content sufficiency by investigating whether a representation retains the ordered target information available in its input. An information-theoretic decomposition separates input ambiguity, representation loss, and readout mismatch. We construct recoverable views where perfect agreement and joint i...

Large language models (LLMs) are expected to answer questions faithfully based on the provided context, abstaining when the context information is insufficient to answer the questions. Existing faithfulness evaluations typically assess each question-context instance in isolation; however, such instance-level evaluation...

Adaptive multiresolution methods reduce representation cost by concentrating fine-scale degrees of freedom where needed, but their tree updates are usually governed by fixed local criteria. We introduce Learned Adaptive Multiresolution Diffusion Imaging (Learned AMDI), which preserves the AMDI fixed-tree propagator and...

Long-horizon LLM agents act on an append-only interaction history that is re-sent to the model at every step, so the context and its cost grow with steps until the sessions exceed the context window. Existing methods manage the context through context requirement prediction, relying on additional model calls, heuristic...

A central challenge for scientific agents is to turn analytical experience into reusable expertise grounded in physical evidence. Here we introduce Gan Jiang, a self-learning agent for powder X-ray diffraction built on a diffraction-analysis ecosystem we developed: XMatcher, XQueryer, XDecomposer and WPEM. Together, th...

The scenario approach is a well-established statistical framework for data-driven decision-making. In particular, in data-driven optimization, the scenario approach unveils how the problem structure governs out-of-sample generalization, and offers a principled basis for assessing and certifying the reliability of the o...

In digital pathology, compact evidence is often used to explain or audit predictions made by whole-slide image multiple instance learning models. In hierarchical compact-evidence pipelines, candidate filtering introduces a strategy-specific candidate-conditioned prediction alongside the original full-bag prediction. If...

Time series forecasting models are typically compared on pointwise error, which scores a prediction in isolation from the decision it is produced for, and a lower forecast error does not imply a better decision downstream. A parallel debate asks whether modern transformer architectures forecast better than recurrent an...
Small language models (SLMs) are attractive as local agent controllers because they reduce remote inference, latency, and deployment footprint, yet structured tool errors can cause an agent step to fail. Existing routers typically select a model once per query. However, agents expose sequential decision points whose di...
How far can stochastic gradient descent ascent (SGDA) go by tuning its timescale ratio and step sizes in nonconvex min-max games? We answer this question for nonconvex-PL (NC-PL) games by establishing the first tight complexity of two-timescale SGDA with a fixed timescale ratio and non-increasing step sizes. For $\ell$...
StudentSim is a research system for evaluating and improving AI tutoring tools before they are tested with learners. It models how individuals may engage with tutors, giving feedback to improve tutor performance across subjects like chess, writing, and mathematics. The post Simulating student learning for better AI tutoring appeared first on Microsoft Research.

Students in MIT’s Concourse program delve deeply into the human condition, debate challenging questions, and learn to develop judgment about issues that can’t be quantified.
Training AI agents with reinforcement learning can be challenging because their tools, context, and decision-making are managed by complex frameworks. Agent Lightning connects existing agents to RL training, making it easier to improve them without rebuilding them. The post Agent Lightning v1.0: A 3,500-Line Lightweight Agentic RL Framework for Training Agents with Real Harnesses appeared first on Microsoft Research.
