This work uses training data attribution to quantitatively estimate how much each harmful example contributes to EM and benchmark the quality of the attribution via retraining -- a sound attribution score should enable us to enhance or attenuate EM by filtering data on that score.

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) methods such as GRPO rely on successful self-generated trajectories, but finite rollout budgets can produce all-fail groups with no reward-based policy-gradient signal. While additional rollouts improve the chance of success at higher cost, successful trajectories m...

MIST, the Misleading-Image Stress Test: 200 English sentences, each built around a phrase readable either figuratively or literally and shown with an aligned image depicting its reading, a misleading image depicting the opposite, or no image at all is introduced.

LoopSLM builds on looped Transformers for latent reasoning, reusing a decoder block to refine hidden states with acoustic grounding at every pass, and further narrows the perception-reasoning gap by separating learning to reason from learning to respond, enabling direct inference without CoT.

We propose a rubric for assessing expressed clinical reasoning in model responses, drawing on three bodies of work: medical education assessment frameworks (ART, SCT, Key Feature Problems and OSCE); clinical LLM benchmarks (MedR-Bench, HealthBench, TIMER-Bench, DR. BENCH, PrIME-LLM and PatientSafeBench); and general LL...
This work characterize precisely the geometry of computation in a number-comparison task, as an abstraction of comparison for decision making, and how models utilize geometry in an elegant fashion to implement it, demonstrating that the manifold hypothesis can co-exist with linear representations.

Jev answers MMLU's calculation-heavy questions more accurately than other MMLU questions (94% vs. 91%), whereas both open models, and all three on C-Eval, find them harder.

RLTL;DR is introduced, a promising compacted training paradigm of the form"on this sort of task, keep this sort of thing in mind", which it is hoped will inspire future research on.

It is found that a short round of training on corrections beats the same amount of training on generic chat data, that corrections on other medical prompts do roughly as well as corrections of the poisoned prompts themselves, and that instructing the correction writer to model a careful, harm-avoiding assistant adds no...
The analyses show how VLM evaluation behaves as model panels grow and evolve, providing guidance for designing future benchmarks that are more efficient, robust to model turnover, and explicit about the limits of evaluation-side pruning.
We propose RegLLM, a diagnostic harness for bounded autonomy in regulated agentic workflows. It instruments six trustworthiness signals: citation validity, source grounding, schema compliance, escalation correctness, constitutional alignment, and unsafe-action rate. Signals are distinguished by their source of supervis...
PriceCheck is introduced, which builds a compact family of decision rules from label-free checks such as re-solving a problem, and shows that choosing how checks are combined and stopped matters alongside how well a verifier ranks answers.

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.
