A Distributional Framework for Behavioral Characterization and Risk Management of Large Language Models

Large language models are stochastic by nature. Repeated executions under the same experimental conditions may produce different responses. We propose a framework that can be applied across the model lifecycle, from task design to residual behavior and continuous monitoring. The method consists of building an empirical...

PVBRF-ID: Private, Verifiable and Byzantine-Robust Federated Intrusion Detection for Oilfield Enterprise Networks

Federated learning allows dispersed oilfield sites to train a shared intrusion detector without pooling network traffic, yet its aggregation step forces a choice between privacy and robustness. Byzantine-robust rules must read each update in the clear, whereas secure aggregation hides updates from the checks that detec...

Bridging Human and Model Attention: Explainability Analysis of CNN, Mamba, and ViT Architectures with Gaze-Based Validation

High-risk applications of deep learning require precise characterization of model decision-making. We conduct a systematic explainability evaluation across Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Vision Transformers (ViTs), and Vision Mamba (ViM). Unlike predominantly qualitative studies, we quantify the alignment betwee...

Product Monte Carlo: Expectation Under a Product of Densities

Aggregating independently computed sub-sample inferences is a well-known challenge in large-scale Bayesian computation, federated learning, and opinion pooling. The core problem is to approximate a distribution whose density is proportional to a product of individual densities. We propose Product Monte Carlo (PMC), an...

Toward Maximizing Algebraic Connectivity via Density-Dependent Backbone Construction and Reinforcement Learning Completion

This paper studies an open network design problem of constructing graph topologies with maximum algebraic connectivity under fixed numbers of vertices and edges. A density-dependent approach is proposed that decomposes the design task into two stages: a high-quality, low-cost structural backbone construction and a rein...

Fly-by-Code: Embodied Coding Agents for Aerial Manipulation with Active Visual and Physical Feedback

Embodied coding agents construct robot policies from natural-language instructions by generating executable programs and refining them from execution feedback. This refinement assumes that execution feedback reveals whether the task succeeded and, after a failure, provides sufficient evidence to guide program revision....

Structural and Representational Agency in LLM-Driven Timbre Generation and Interpolation

Generative creative interfaces routinely report the user's position within a space of possibilities. Such displays imply that the quantities shown were measured from the artefact; in a growing class of systems they are instead predicted by a language model describing its own output, and the two are indistinguishable on...

MolP2SBench: Do LLMs Really Reason from Molecular Properties to Structure?

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used in molecular discovery and structure elucidation, where decisions depend on physical observations. Existing evaluations primarily focus on end-to-end molecular reconstruction, where correct predictions do not necessarily indicate reliance on the supplied properties. We...

Looking Under the Streetlight: Evaluation in Generative Molecular Dynamics

This position paper argues that the generative molecular dynamics (GenMD) community is not properly evaluating its progress: current evaluations let a model match what is reported while being arbitrarily wrong on what was claimed, which risks over-claiming advantage over classical baselines. This reflects a structural...

CORAL-KV: Compact Cross-Layer Prediction and Residual Coding for Autoregressive Video KV Caches

Autoregressive video diffusion models maintain a growing attention key-value (KV) cache, making memory a key bottleneck for long video generation. Recently, clustering-based quantization has emerged as an effective method to compress video KV caches by grouping similar key and value vectors then quantizing residual err...

EarLog: Opportunistic Ear Physiology Sensing toward Personalized Hearing Risk Awareness

Many headphone users risk irreversible hearing damage during high-load listening, yet current protection still relies on sound-pressure limits. Clinical tests detect damage after it becomes measurable, leaving the risk-accumulating process unobserved. The acoustic reflex (AR), an involuntary response to high acoustic l...

Acoustic Biomarkers for Alzheimer's Disease Detection from Spontaneous Speech

Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains a major public health challenge, and early identification is crucial for timely intervention and care planning. Recent work has shown that speech-based digital biomarkers can capture subtle changes in vocal production, prosody, and timing that often precede or accompany cognitive declin...

Simulating student learning for better AI tutoring

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.
