Electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), particularly steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) systems, are highly vulnerable to noise and artifacts, which severely degrade decoding accuracy. Although recent denoising approaches have shown promise, they are fitted without paired ground t...
Long-range temporal dependence poses a resource question for sequence models: for a specified predictive-memory law, how much state, context, or dynamical criticality is required in order to forecast accurately? We study this question directly in forecasting risk. For algebraically decaying predictive memory, we prove...
Agentic AI-enabled automation cannot be safely deployed in high-stakes environments on probabilistic reasoning alone. A recurring risk is epistemic drift: as reasoning deepens, system behavior may move away from subject-matter-expert constraints for safe operation. This paper presents BRaVeS, a bounded reasoning and sa...
We present a foundational formulation of the Bayesian Mirror Architecture (BMA), a self-referential generative framework in which sensory abstractions, meta-abstractions, and a self-latent interact through circular recursion. The defining constraint is a closed update S_t <- H_{t-1}, where a hybrid event-self latent H_...

High-speed off-road autonomy requires precise closed-loop control for a target vehicle while remaining robust across changing terrains. Recent forward kinodynamic (FKD) prediction foundation models suggest a promising path, starting from a generalist model and specializing it to the target platform. However, effective...

Robot policies inevitably encounter failures when deployed in real environments. Naive retries often repeat the same mistakes, while many existing recovery methods rely on human intervention. In this paper, we propose Failure-Aware Retry (FAR), a framework that enables robots to learn from previous failures at test tim...
Hydraulic-conductivity inversion is ill posed: even complete head observations can leave structural ambiguity. Geological text descriptions can supply additional information about subsurface structure to constrain reconstruction. However, it remains unclear when descriptions improve reconstruction and how solvers use t...

In this paper, we use random walks on graphs as a verifiable sandbox for studying parallel sampling strategies in masked diffusion models (MDMs). We train an MDM on random walk samples from a fixed graph. The graph and transition kernel are never shown to the model and serve as latent structure that is both controllabl...

LLM-based Agents are becoming increasingly capable and widely deployed, creating growing incentives for adversarial misuse in the real-world. A key emerging threat is Decomposition Attacks \cite{glukhov2024breach, jones2024adversaries} in which a harmful task is broken into simpler, benign subtasks that evade safety me...

Agentic search systems must coordinate evidence acquisition and response generation, yet existing approaches either couple both roles under a single agent objective or decompose them without disentangling their respective contributions to the final outcome. We introduce DAC (Divide and Cooperate), a role-decomposed tra...

Forward-Forward (FF) learning [Hinton, 2022] replaces backpropagation with strictly layer-local goodness updates. Recent FF-CNN work has narrowed the gap to BP on 32x32 benchmarks, raising the question of whether layer-local training is becoming a viable alternative at realistic scale. To probe this rigorously, we deve...
Video world models (WMs) have shown promise for policy evaluation and improvement by imagining realistic future observations conditioned on ego-robot actions. While WMs can model distributions over futures, policy evaluation and improvement typically rely on nominal imaginations, which can miss high-impact outcomes of...

Students in MIT’s Concourse program delve deeply into the human condition, debate challenging questions, and learn to develop judgment about issues that can’t be quantified.
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.
