Adaptive Multi-Discriminator WGAN Framework for Resource-Constrained Internet of Vehicles Using Reinforcement Learning and Game Theory

Managing machine learning workloads as a network service introduces a resource-orchestration problem distinct from conventional model training; which nodes should be allocated to a task, how communication and computation budgets should be divided among them, and how service quality should be sustained as connectivity a...

Language Models for Page-Level Layout Decisions in E-commerce Search

E-commerce search pages are critical touchpoints for millions of online shoppers. While traditional search engines return a ranked list of results, modern E-commerce search pages increasingly incorporate recommender system modules -- for example, secondary stacks that surface alternative product groupings at specific p...

How Hackable Is Your Speech Quality Metric? A Corrected Protocol, a Benchmark, and What Patching Buys

Speech quality predictors are increasingly used as rewards, yet no agreed measure of their hackability exists. The usual measurement has two flaws. First, the perturbation reaches the predictor through a processing chain -- here a neural codec -- that shifts the score on its own, which scoring against the raw input cha...

Gen-PINNs: Generative Adversarial Physics Informed Neural Networks for solving partial differential equations

Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) are a widely used data-free method for solving Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) using machine learning. With recent advances in Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), adversarial learning has shown strong capabilities for modeling complex data-driven problems; however, the...

Barron Optimal Transport I: Generative Modeling

Motivated by recent applications in generative modeling and sampling, we introduce a framework for optimal measure transport where cost captures the notion of neural network complexity. In transport-based generative models, samples from a reference distribution (e.g. Gaussian) are mapped to samples of a target distribu...

Shape irregularity of Life-Like Network Automaton rules as an indicator of classification performance

Complex Network (CN) classification requires high-level structural characterizations that are both scale-invariant and computationally efficient. Methods based on Life-Like Network Automata (LLNA) offer an interesting way to extract network descriptors by leveraging emergent temporal patterns without requiring provided...

KDFP: A first-principles approach to knowledge distillation in large language models

Knowledge distillation is an established technique for improving the capabilities of small, efficient student models by training them with the representations of larger, more capable teacher models. Much of the recent work in the distillation of large language models (LLMs) has focused on distilling abilities learned d...

Similar Predictive Fit but Different Latent Dynamics: Characterizing Learned Dynamical Structure in Personalized Models of Brain Disorders

As AI models move toward clinical decision-making and personalized treatment, understanding \emph{what} a model learns is important beyond predictive accuracy alone. We investigate whether personalized latent dynamics reveal clinically associated differences even when predictive fit is similar. A lightweight CNN--Trans...

Amortized Off-Policy Evaluation for LLMs

Accurate evaluation is central to selecting which LLM to deploy, yet testing a candidate on live traffic exposes real users to an unvetted model. Teams therefore evaluate candidates offline, on data produced by already-deployed models. This is off-policy evaluation (OPE), and it faces two distribution shifts: as a mode...

MotherTree: Meta-learning on synthetic data improves decision tree training

Conventional decision tree algorithms produce effective, transparent models that can be audited, communicated, and deployed independently of the training data, but require learning every new task from scratch. In contrast, tabular foundation models demonstrate that meta-learning from a synthetic prior distribution enab...

Evaluating Rubric Generation with Interventional Transfer

Instance-specific rubrics are common in AI benchmarks where reliable evaluation requires specific expert knowledge. This approach is difficult to scale, prompting research into the generation of rubrics with large language models (LLMs). However, even when expert rubrics are available as references, it is unclear how t...

Controlled Acquisition and Abstention in Three-Channel Score Conflicts

When audio, video, and text disagree, accuracy alone does not show whether to acquire another source or abstain. We study these choices in a controlled three-score benchmark: a policy observes two signed scores, may request the third at a cost, and can abstain. The primary reward is mechanism-specific: abstention is co...

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.
