Creating and editing high-quality 3D content remains a central challenge in computer graphics. We address this challenge by introducing CompoSE, a novel method for Compositional Synthesis and Editing of 3D shapes via part-aware control. Our method takes as input a set of coarse geometric primitives (e.g., bounding boxe...
Collaborative filtering (CF) models based on graph neural networks (GNNs) achieve strong performance in recommender systems by propagating user-item signals over interaction graphs. However, they are susceptible to popularity bias, since skewed interactions and repeated message passing across high-order neighborhoods a...

We consider a mutual information (MI) regularized optimal density control of a discrete-time linear system. MI optimal control has been utilized for exploration in reinforcement learning and privacy protection in control. MI regularization induces stochasticity in the policy, which poses challenges for applications of...
Online learning from a stream of data is a defining feature of intelligence, yet modern machine learning systems often struggle in this setting, especially under distributional shift. To understand its basic properties, we study the relationship between online and offline learning in the context of kernel regression by...

Per-instance algorithm selection (PIAS) takes advantage of complementarity between a set of algorithms by deciding which algorithm to run on a given instance. This decision is based on features of the instances, which, in the context of black-box optimization (BBO), require a part of the optimization budget to be compu...

The Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) is a widely used method for structured convex optimization, and its practical performance depends strongly on the choice of penalty and relaxation parameters. Motivated by settings such as Model Predictive Control (MPC), where one repeatedly solves related optimiza...

Binary Function Similarity Detection (BFSD) is a core problem in software security, supporting tasks such as vulnerability analysis, malware classification, and patch provenance. In the past few decades, numerous models and tools have been developed for this application; however, due to the lack of a comprehensive univ...

Reinforcement learning has shown strong performance in robotic manipulation, but learned policies often degrade in performance when test conditions differ from the training distribution. This limitation is especially important for reliable robot planning and control in contact-rich tasks such as pushing and pick-and-pl...

Firms that price perishable resources -- airline seats, hotel rooms, seasonal inventory -- now routinely use demand predictions, but these predictions vary widely in quality. Under hard capacity constraints, acting on an inaccurate prediction can irreversibly deplete inventory needed for future periods. We study how pr...

Language model (LM) agents have driven substantial progress in automated software engineering (SWE), yet building and testing software repositories at scale remains a largely manual and labor-intensive bottleneck. In this work, we introduce RepoLaunch, a novel agentic framework that automatically resolves dependencies,...

We study gap-dependent regret for reinforcement learning with linear function approximation. While prior works have established gap-dependent guarantees in this setting, existing analyses do not apply to algorithms that achieve the nearly minimax-optimal worst-case regret bound $\tilde{O}(d\sqrt{H^3K})$, where $d$ is t...
The goal of $L$-step speculative decoding is to accelerate autoregressive decoding of a target model by using a cheaper draft model to generate a candidate path of $L$ tokens. Based on a verification algorithm involving target and draft model probabilities, a prefix of the candidate sequence is accepted, and an additio...
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.
