Neighbor information improves individual prediction in all 16 public-data settings and pooled collective forecasts on held-out questions, although collective gains depend on transfer conditions.
Lookahead-R is proposed, a planning-based framework that reformulates tool retrieval as a resource-constrained sequential decision-making problem that introduces a lightweight execution-aware surrogate world model that jointly predicts tool execution success, latency cost, and semantic utility—without invoking real API...
TRACE is presented, a deployable tree-relational enhancement framework for oncology LLMs that separates expensive offline structure learning from lightweight online inference, and suggests that explicit, updatable medical structure is a practical path toward more accurate and auditable oncology LLM deployment.

A multi-agent framework in which a story agent, an image agent, and a critic agent collaborate to produce fake social media posts that plausibly counter true news is introduced, providing a foundation for developing robust defenses against social media fake news.

Memory Adaptation for Task-Conditioned Execution (MATE) is introduced, a deterministic post-retrieval procedure that converts trajectories into execution-oriented memory and supports memory adaptation as a distinct stage between retrieval and embodied execution.

LLM agents can make unsafe tool calls even when instructed to behave safely. Existing defenses constrain agents before execution, modify tool inputs/outputs, or rely on LLM judges; these approaches may depend on model behavior or block unsafe actions without helping the agent recover. We argue that the execution enviro...

This work formalizes the task as structured prediction of (skill, level) pairs from free text and asks three questions: how accurately can text be mapped onto SFIA's closed vocabulary, which strategies reliably predict the level alongside the skill, and do agentic designs improve on simpler retrieval and prompting?

Training a language model on data with a narrow flaw can sometimes make the model broadly misaligned. Inspecting the data at face value often does not settle whether it will emerge, and today it is caught only after training, by auditing the resulting model. To complement post-hoc audits, we introduce Alignment Forecas...

It is shown that contrary to previous studies, perturbations can mitigate bias and hallucination in some LLMs over other models, and it's found that Claude 3 is more effective for the tasks represented in most datasets, whereas models like GPT3.5 exhibit varying levels of adequacy.

While neural theorem provers have achieved impressive milestones in formal mathematics, they largely operate on the assumption that faithful Lean 4 formal statements are already provided. Translating informal natural language into a formal language is a critical data bottleneck plagued by an "illusion of rigor": standa...

Across Harness-Bench and NewtonBench, full-bank meta-skills improve macro-average performance by 8.95 percentage points over no-skill construction, and 12.02 points over direct delivery of the same bank to the Target.

The method, Advisor Self-Distillation (AdviSD), pairs outcome-based reinforcement learning with self-distillation from a feedback-conditioned copy of the advisor selectively, and beats matched-count random selection, supporting the value of its selection rule.

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.
