Dating the Model: Hidden Dates in System Prompts Affect LLM Evaluation

Reproducibility is essential for scientific research, yet prior work shows that LLM outputs vary with hardware and batching. We identify an overlooked factor: the hidden injection of the current date into system prompts, which users cannot control and which changes every day. Across 9 recent LLMs and 6 datasets spannin...

Benchmarking Automatic Speech Recognition Tools for Iberian Languages

Comprehensive evaluations of automatic speech recognition (ASR) for Iberian languages remain limited, and low-resource languages, biases, and efficiency trade-offs are underexplored. We benchmark eleven systems, ten open-weight models and one commercial API, across five Iberian languages (Basque, Catalan, Galician, Por...

Can Language Models Learn to Forecast Stock Prices

Results show that post-training can substantially improve financial forecasting performance, together with changes in how the model investigates the market, on this outcome-selected benchmark.

RAEGNet: Relation-Aware Evidence Graph Network for Harm-Aware Multimodal Fake News Detection

Existing multimodal fake news detection methods often introduce external information to assist detection. However, most of them rely on entity-level retrieval and are therefore prone to introducing event-irrelevant noise. Meanwhile, existing methods mainly focus on improving overall performance and do not account for d...

Momentum-Coupled Rubric Adaptation for Detailed Image Captioning

Detailed image captioning requires accurate and comprehensive descriptions of fine-grained visual content, yet caption quality spans factual accuracy, information coverage, and clarity. Compared with conventional methods that rely mainly on high-quality supervision or holistic rewards, rubric-based reinforcement learni...

Rethinking Multimodal Fake News Detection in the Generative AI Era

Generative content is increasingly entering the production and dissemination of news, transforming fake news from manually fabricated or simply manipulated material into complex forms in which native and generated content jointly participate. Existing multimodal fake news detection research primarily focuses on veracit...

ATTUNER: Recomputation-Free KV Cache Reuse via Query-Side Adaptation

Large language model (LLM) agents repeatedly load reusable content, such as skills, documents, and memory entries, into the current context. Re-encoding this content for every request wastes computation. Position-independent caching (PIC) alleviates this by encoding each artifact independently and reusing its key-value...

LAURA: Knowledge Distillation for Interpretable Ambiguous Clause Identification in Legal Contracts

Legal contracts contain ambiguities that expose enterprises to financial and legal risks. Some ambiguities allow flexible interpretation without triggering disputes, while others lead to significant legal conflicts. This makes identification alone insufficient, and interpretable rationale analysis essential. We propose...

ProgressCompass: Embodied Progress Reward Models Are Lost Without the Right Context

Embodied agents now take on ever longer tasks. For long tasks, knowing only whether a task finally succeeds or fails says little; the steps along the way matter. Progress Reward Models (PRMs) score how far a task has come at every step, and serve as dense rewards, verifiers and monitors. Yet in long tasks the current f...

G\"odel Forest: Balancing Search Depth and Breadth for Data-Centric Recursive Self-Improvement

Recursive self-improvement (RSI) aims to achieve compounding gains by having models improve themselves. While most existing RSI systems optimize external agent harnesses or prompts around a frozen base model, data-centric RSI directly updates the model's own parameters by training on agent-generated data. However, beca...

Generating Edit-Inducing Questions for AI Research Manuscripts

We study the ability of LLMs to generate edit-inducing questions whose answer will improve a paper draft. On a dataset of paired submission and camera-ready papers from ICLR and NeurIPS, we compare the helpfulness of questions from GPT models with or without full paper context to that of human reviewers. GPT produces m...

Grounded Revision vs. Prior Injection: Probing Retrieval-Augmented Patent Claim Amendment

Retrieval-augmented generation is widely used in professional writing, yet whether retrieval grounds revision or merely injects templates is rarely tested where "correct" has a definable meaning. Patent claim amendment supplies that signal: the examiner names the attacked limitation and cites prior art, providing per-c...

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.
