Cross-linguistic effects are a central topic in bilingual first-language acquisition. Artificial learners can help investigate L1-L2 interactions by enabling controlled comparisons across language combinations and learning conditions. Recent work explores this direction by training bilingual language models under devel...

Long-horizon information-seeking agents often accumulate noisy or misleading context, causing early mistakes to persist and making recovery increasingly difficult. We introduce an autonomous search harness in which the agent manages its own search process through three states: Rubric, Answer, and Verify. The agent firs...

Explicit intermediate reasoning gives large language models (LLMs) a stronger problem-solving mode. We study learning from this think-mode advantage via on-policy distillation (OPD). OPD preserves student-generated trajectories and provides dense token-level teacher targets at student-visited prefixes. Privileged reaso...

LLM-based multi-agent systems (MAS) increasingly use latent collaboration to avoid the information loss and repeated encoding-decoding overhead of natural-language communication. However, directly forwarding all sender latents makes the receiver-side context scale with both the number of agents and the reasoning length...

Graph databases are increasingly queried through natural language, yet every existing benchmark evaluates isolated single-turn queries rather than the multi-turn sessions through which analysts actually work. We introduce CypherTurn, the first benchmark for conversational Text-to-Cypher evaluation, comprising 721 sessi...

Text-to-speech models loop, truncate and lose count on text that repeats a phrase many times. We show that repetition itself is what breaks them, not the length that comes with it. Every repeated sentence in our test set is paired with a control of matched sentence and word count in which no word ever repeats back-to-b...

System One models such as Jev offer an efficient alternative to generative language models for tasks that require decisions rather than open-ended responses. However, existing Jev models exhibit limited Chinese-language decision accuracy, restricting their utility in both general and specialized settings. In this paper...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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.
