Algorithm Selection is essential for efficient Constraint Programming. Over the years, many algorithm selectors based on machine learning methods have been successfully applied, yet traditional feature extraction methods often rely on manually decided instance-level statistics that fail to capture the underlying proble...
Off-policy actor--critic methods control overestimation bias by taking the minimum of two critics. This uses the same aggregation rule everywhere, regardless of how the critics disagree. We propose \textbf{GeZo-SAC}, which uses auxiliary geometric representations to adapt critic pessimism to the state and action. Along...
Graph neural networks (GNNs) predict molecular properties from chemical graph data, but predictive accuracy does not explain how graph information supports an individual decision. A compact prediction-preserving rationale does not necessarily reveal which changes reverse the decision or which modifications the model to...
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in sociotechnical systems where social attribution, the reasoning process attributing external events to the causes and reasons of agents' social behaviors, plays a critical role. These processes involve judgments of social cause, responsibility, and blame/credit t...

Understanding how deep neural networks process information remains a central challenge. Existing interpretability methods often compromise structural fidelity, rely on prespecified corpora, or explain models post-hoc. We propose Polytopal Neural Networks (PNNs), a framework that extracts distinct layer-wise aspects by...
Test-time training (TTT) adapts an LLM's parameters using signals derived from test inputs, and can make striking improvements in pre-specified settings such as IMO competitions or designated open problems. By turning deployment experience into parameter updates, TTT provides a direct mechanism for model-level self-imp...
Conformal prediction offers a distribution-free coverage guarantee, making it especially attractive for clinical applications. Standard conformal prediction, however, provides such guarantees only at the population level, and its prediction sets can exhibit coverage disparities across clinically important subgroups. A...
Reinforcement learning (RL) methods such as GRPO substantially improve large language model reasoning but often suffer from policy entropy collapse: the loss of sampling diversity weakens exploration and limits further improvement. Existing methods address this issue either through algorithm-level interventions, such a...
U-Net inference for brain-tumor segmentation requires billions of multiply-accumulate operations, motivating hardware that can reduce computation dynamically rather than relying only on fixed precision or static model compression. Most-significant-digit-first (MSDF) arithmetic exposes the leading digits of a result dur...
Bayesian physics-informed neural networks (B-PINNs) are a popular framework for parameter and state inference from sparse or noisy observations. They are commonly formulated via a collider structure, in which physical and trajectory parameters are assumed to be a priori independent and become coupled through virtual li...
We introduce Timer-M1, a pretrained multivariate time series foundation model that learns with primitives for zero-shot forecasting. Across domains, time series share elementary temporal and relational patterns, termed primitives, yet differ in how these primitives manifest and evolve across different contexts. Despite...
Foundation models supply reinforcement learning (RL) with priors that mitigate its longstanding weaknesses in sample efficiency and transfer, but their token-by-token generation makes queries sequential and costly. Jev, a recently released decision model, generates nothing and returns calibrated, typed answers in a sin...
Research Manager Mike Walker reflects on a career spanning hacker culture, cybersecurity, and AI, sharing lessons about trust, teamwork, leadership, and why solving difficult problems requires curiosity, judgment, agility—and an understanding of the rules. The post Learn the rules: The hacker mindset appeared first on Microsoft Research.
