OpenJev-RLCD: A Working RLCD Implementation

Decision models such as Jev answer questions with probabilities, which are only useful if they are calibrated. Open-source reproductions rely on supervised fine-tuning plus temperature scaling, while reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards (RLVR) makes reasoning models overconfident. We present a working impleme...

Whose Voice Survives the Summary? A Voice-Retention Audit of LLM Employee Listening

Organizations increasingly route employee feedback to leaders through large language model (LLM) summaries, an unaudited layer that silences already-spoken voice. We introduce a Voice Retention / Representation Ratio metric for representational bias in summarization and apply it to a bilingual (English/German) corpus o...

When Reasoning Goes Astray: Attention Dynamics of Uncontrolled Reasoning

Large reasoning models (LRMs) improve performance on complex tasks through extended reasoning, yet the same process can degenerate into redundant verification and persistent generation loops. Such uncontrolled reasoning increases inference cost and creates risks of resource exhaustion and service degradation. However,...

When Scientific Contradictions Are Lost in Translation

Two scientific findings can disagree without contradicting each other. Determining whether they conflict requires knowing whether they describe comparable measurements. We study how language models behave at this decision point. In a controlled task, we generate an unsatisfiable XOR constraint system and translate its...

Towards Model as a Library: Offline, Community-Sourced AI for Low-Resource African Languages

This paper introduces MaaL, a software architecture that packages small, community-enrolled speech models as versioned on-device dependencies, enabling offline structured data collection that cannot generatively hallucinate, for populations that current language models serve worst.

Reach Into The CHOIR: Free-List Elicitation Uncovers Distinct Model Voices in LLM Ensembles

Open-ended LLM homogeneity can create false plurality when several systems appear to offer independent perspectives while returning the same familiar default. Single-pass answers obscure the distinction between agreement produced by a tightly constrained answer space, prompt-vocabulary echo, and broader answer spaces w...

ArgGYM: A Procedural, Engine-Verified Benchmark for Structured Defeasible Reasoning

Recent progress in large language model reasoning has been driven by benchmarks and reinforcement learning environments with automatically verifiable rewards, particularly in mathematics, code, and formal logic. These settings make model accuracy easier to evaluate and optimize, but it remains unclear how far success u...

Fine-Tuning Diffusion Language Models with Context Selection and Target Weighting

GoldiMask is introduced, which selects tokens to reveal as context by approximately maximizing a submodular objective and weights the remaining targets according to how they benefit from the selected context and their remaining learning potential.

Beyond Mode Collapse: Generating Diverse Synthetic Expert Conversations via Generative Flow Networks

This work shows that training GFlowNets to generate latent conversation structure using a Gaussian mixture density over key interaction features enables sampling expert strategies in proportion to their prevalence in the training data to provide a stronger training signal than competitive synthesis baselines.

HPRO: Hierarchical Progressive Reward Optimization via Preference Extraction for Emotional Text-to-Speech

Recently, Large Language Model (LLM)-based Text-to-Speech (TTS) models have achieved remarkable naturalness. However, the standard Supervised Fine-Tuning paradigm often converges to statistically averaged prosody, limiting emotional expressiveness. While preference-driven optimization offers a promising alternative, ex...

CORE-BREW: LLR-Based Soft Decoding for Robust Multi-Bit LLM Watermarking

Reliable provenance for LLM outputs requires multi-bit watermarks that remain robust under editing while maintaining low false-positive rates. Existing ECC-based LLM watermarks rely on hard-decision decoding, discarding token-level reliability information and limiting robustness under post-generation edits. We propose...

Remember Your Trace: Memory-Guided Long-Horizon Agentic Framework for Consistent and Hierarchical Repository-Level Code Documentation

Automated code documentation is essential for modern software development, providing the contextual grounding that both human developers and coding agents rely on to navigate large codebases. Existing repository-level approaches process components independently, causing redundant retrieval and conflicting descriptions...

Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar

Zero-knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum-resistant security. The post Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar appeared first on Microsoft Research.
