Strategic Investment Decision Making for Value Creation in Energy Transition: A Reinforcement Learning Approach

The global challenge of climate change has driven significant steps to reduce CO2 emissions, guided by international agreements like the Paris Agreement of 2015. Acting too slowly could result in future losses and reputational damage, while moving too quickly could jeopardize shareholder value due to the marginal profi...

CPU-Auth: Device Fingerprinting for Authentication via DVFS Side-Channel

Lack of effective authentication has resulted in numerous security and privacy breaches, including unauthorized access to protected information, identity theft, and fraud. One approach to mitigating such attacks is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), in which users must provide multiple pieces of information for authent...

What can linear attention learn from nonlinear teachers in-context?

Linear attention is a tractable model for understanding the mechanisms governing in-context learning in transformers. For linear regression tasks, recent asymptotic analyses have characterised its learning and generalisation behaviour. We extend this theory to nonlinear single-index targets, $y=f(x^\top w)+\varepsilon...

Deep Learning vs. Statistical Models for Multi-Horizon Price Forecasting of Second-Hand Electronics: A Systematic Benchmark

Forecasting resale prices of used electronics is critical for subscription-based platforms where pricing errors translate directly into risk. Unlike structured financial markets, second-hand electronics exhibit high volatility, sparse listing histories, and non-normal price dynamics - yet no systematic time-series benc...

On linearity or non-linearity in machine learning for quantum chaotic dynamics

Accurately simulating chaotic quantum many-body dynamics remains a major computational challenge for classical methods, due to the rapid buildup and spatial spreading of entanglement during the evolution. This raises the question of whether machine learning can provide an effective alternative for predicting quantum dy...

BEANS-Next and ROOTS: Broadening Audio-Language Capabilities for Bioacoustics

Bioacoustics and ethology encompass a wide range of audio understanding tasks, many of which stand to benefit from recent advances in large audio-language models. However, progress in the field has so far been assessed on a narrow set of tasks, primarily centered on label-centric biological category recognition, such a...

How Many Directions Must a Truncated Diffusion Sampler Retain? Matching Bounds Under Power-Law Spectra

Diffusion samplers can reduce computation by generating selected spectral coordinates and filling the remaining directions with noise. How many directions must they retain? We study this question for data with power-law covariance spectra. For Gaussian data compared to a smoothed target, we prove matching bounds on the...

Safe at One Loop, Risky at Another: Aligning Safety Across Recurrent Depths in Looped Language Models

Looped Language Models (LoopLMs) provide a parameter efficient approach to scaling model capabilities through repeated use of shared parameters across recurrent steps. Since each recurrent depth can be read out independently, a single LoopLM exposes a broader output space across inference depths, raising an important q...

JevForest: Path Voting for Budgeted Feature Acquisition

Choosing which information to observe is central to prediction under limited observation budgets. We study JevForest, a feature acquisition policy that aggregates path-dependent proposals from bootstrapped trees, weights them by global training information gain, and predicts from the acquired values with a shared maske...

The optimal information complexity of VC learning

Steinke and Zakynthinou(2020) introduces the Conditional Mutual Information (CMI) framework of analyzing the information complexity of learning algorithms based on algorithm-dependent information-theoretic quantities. We study one of these quantities, the evaluated Conditional Mutual Information (eCMI). It has been an...

GaussianBench: Physics-Fidelity Evaluation for Gaussian Scene Representations

3D Gaussian Splatting has evolved from static reconstruction toward physics-integrated representations meant to predict how scenes change under interaction. This creates an evaluation problem: a rollout can look plausible while relying on incorrect internal mechanics, and visual agreement with observed motion does not...

Interpretable Memory Models for Spaced Repetition

Spaced repetition software schedules reviews with a memory model fit to review logs. Accuracy on a test set is not sufficient evidence of quality since available data are produced by existing schedulers, and new solutions must extrapolate beyond them. A model also needs a simple mechanistic interpretation. We present S...

Agent Lightning v1.0: A 3,500-Line Lightweight Agentic RL Framework for Training Agents with Real Harnesses

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.
