No Free Labels: Limitations of LLM-as-a-Judge Without Human Grounding

Reliable evaluation of large language models (LLMs) is critical as their deployment rapidly expands, particularly in high-stakes domains such as business and finance. The LLM-as-a-Judge framework, which uses prompted LLMs to evaluate response quality, is appealing due to its scalability, low cost, and strong correlatio...

Simultaneous Translation between Sign Languages

This work presents, to their knowledge, the first simultaneous sign-to-sign (S2S) translation system, with two wait-k regimes: test-time wait-k inference applied directly to a full-sentence model, and a trained wait-k model via stochastic multi-path supervision.

ColNanoVDR: Document-Free Query Distillation for Multi-Vector Visual Document Retrieval via Optimal Transport

ColNanoVDR is presented, to the authors' knowledge the first framework to bring this document-free distillation to multi-vector VDR, and it is proved that the resulting alignment cost bounds the MaxSim score difference on every page.

The Last Mile Is the File: OfficeEditBench for Preservation-Aware Office Editing

A small Office edit creates two obligations: propagate every required update and leave protected state untouched. Updating too little leaves dependencies inconsistent; updating too much changes content the user did not authorize. We introduce OfficeEditBench, a 170-task benchmark for change-scoped maintenance of spread...

Explainable and Generalisable LLM-based Cognitive Decline Detection with Spontaneous Speech

This study provides a scalable, objective, and explainable framework for speech-based cognitive screening, combining cognitive status classification with natural language explanations that clinicians can assess and verify, bridging the gap between advanced AI and clinical utility.

DuraS2ST: Chain-of-Thought and Reinforcement Learning for Duration-Aligned Speech-to-Speech Translation

Speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) in time-sensitive applications such as video dubbing requires not only semantic fidelity and speaker preservation, but also strict duration consistency to avoid audio-visual misalignment. However, existing S2ST systems largely generate target speech without explicit temporal planning...

CORA: A Protocol for Diagnosing Boundary Robustness in Text-to-Audio Retrieval under Query Reformulations

Text-to-Audio (T2A) retrievers are typically evaluated with caption style queries, but the same user intent can be expressed in many forms. We introduce CORA (Caption-Offset Retrieval for Audio), a caption anchored diagnostic protocol that rewrites each source caption into five intent preserving forms (Command, Questio...

OLED-MoE: Accelerating MoE-Based dLLM Inference via Inter-Iteration Locality-Aware Expert Offloading

OLED-MoE is proposed, an expert offloading system that uses confidence-guided inter-iteration prediction to retain high-value experts in GPU memory without introducing extra prefetch traffic and compensates unavoidable cache misses through CPU-GPU cooperative execution.

From Script to Drama: An Agentic Framework for Controllable Multi-Speaker Dialogue TTS

A controllable multi-speaker dialogue TTS framework that formulates synthesis as critique-driven iterative refinement, and unifies instruction-following synthesis and natural-language-guided attribute editing, enabling correction of expressive errors without full regeneration.

InfoEdit: Probing Global Layout Reasoning in Infographic Editing

Multimodal foundation models edit natural photographs at production quality, yet the same models struggle with structured visual content such as infographics. Unlike photographs, infographics encode information through logical relations; editing one element often requires surrounding elements to be adapted. We refer to...

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.
