We investigate the extent to which the Hamas attacks on Israel of October 7, 2023, have affected German social media debates about Judaism and Israel. For this, we develop an approach to detect 26 anti-Semitic categories in user postings via large language models (LLMs). The approach is applied to Facebook and Telegram...
Three findings emerge: in the restless task, neural models trained without rewards predict held-out choices better than four simple training-fitted behavioral baselines, and at some reward weights, neural networks predict better than a pooled reinforcement-learning model but have less faithful changes in choice probabi...
Real-world embodied agents often pursue independent objectives within a shared physical environment, where their actions can alter the conditions faced by others. Existing benchmarks, however, typically assume shared goals or explicitly prescribed interaction protocols, leaving such emergent physical coupling underexpl...

Understanding how individual traits influence team performance is valuable, but these traits are not always directly observable. Prior research has inferred traits like trust from behavioral data. We analyze conversational data to identify team traits and their correlation with teaming outcomes. Using transcripts from...

Vision-language models (VLMs) may accept false visual premises, answering questions about a target object's color, count, location, or state even when it is absent. We call this reliability-critical behavior a target-absence grounding failure. Existing visual-grounding detectors primarily rely on generated responses, h...
In recent years, the performance of large language models (LLMs) on reasoning tasks has been remarkable, even surpassing human capabilities on various benchmarks. However, there remains a lack of clear understanding in the academic community regarding how the structure and internal parameters of LLMs progressively solv...
Pre-trained language models (PLMs) with encoder-based architectures have shown impressive capabilities in zero-shot cross-lingual transfer for various language understanding tasks. However, applying this technique to dependency parsing remains a significant challenge due to its syntactic nature. To boost model generali...

AnthroDial is introduced, a unified framework for developing anthropomorphic social agents from three complementary aspects: MindFlow, a lightweight interaction harness that enables autonomous, asynchronous, and adaptive communication through a dynamic Mind Buffer; CAPS-Eval, a theory-grounded framework for evaluating...

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) remain vulnerable to cross-modal implicit risks: visual and textual inputs that appear benign in isolation can jointly elicit unsafe responses. Existing safety methods often require large preference datasets, costly multi-rollout training, or additional safeguards at inference time. They m...

Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong potential as training-free text encoders for long-context embeddings. Existing approaches primarily improve information flow under causal attention and typically construct embeddings by uniformly averaging all token representations. However, for long documents, such mean p...

Purpose: Most Greek papyri remain unpublished and undigitised; a handwritten text recognition (HTR) pipeline that transcribes them automatically would let scholars discover documents and literary works that have so far gone unread. Recognition systems for Ancient Greek papyri are in statu nascendi, and how accurate the...
Existing product matching benchmarks primarily contain English-language product data and are often dominated by a single product category, such as electronics. This paper introduces Billiger.de Products, a bilingual German and English entity matching benchmark covering thirteen consumer product categories, including di...

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.
