The upshot is that a large share of the apparent CAAP--SNAP gap traces back to closed-category annotation limits rather than a real grounding failure, which matters for how the authors detect hallucination, analyze failure modes, and design evaluation for grounded multimodal systems meant to work in the open world.
Anyone with a public footprint leaks facts that were never stated, and language models make the inference cheap. We present a framework for measuring and reducing this inference exposure that runs on the owner's own CPU with no language model at analysis time, instantiated on organisations and on individuals. It starts...
When a language-model audit finds no leak, what is needed to certify non-leakage? We study guarantees over a declared prompt domain under an executable leakage criterion and decoding rule. For general bounded polynomial-time evaluators, a supplied leaking execution is polynomial-time checkable, while leak existence is...
The research indicates that AI governance responsibilities are often embedded within existing privacy roles, contributing to the rise of hybrid positions alongside dedicated AI governance roles.

This work explores the use of synthetic visual data as a solution, using an audio-driven talking-head pipeline to generate lip-synchronized visual content from existing audio data and demonstrates that synthetic data alone can serve as a baseline for AVSR training in languages lacking AV datasets.

The Conversational Distribution Score (CDS) is introduced, which compares distributions of conversational behaviour using human conversations as a reference, and how many minutes and conversations are required before rankings stabilize is examined.

Frequency BPE achieves stronger raw compression, while MDL-SG achieves lower BPC, showing that compression-oriented merge selection and language-model utility need not coincide.
Identifying intertextual references is central to literary scholarship, but computationally difficult when source material is transformed through paraphrase, allusion, historical language, and translation. We investigate this problem through biblical intertextuality in Karen Blixen's Seven Gothic Tales. Drawing on the...

NstAgent is introduced, a training-free agentic framework that allows LLMs to track a structured narrative state including characters, past events and future requirements, and shows that NstAgent achieves better narrative consistency and writing quality as stories grow longer, suggesting that it provides an effective a...
This paper designs TACT to revise student-generated actions, test the revisions through partner responses, and distill useful feedback into the student, which helps improve social goal attainment while reducing communication cost.

QuanReview aligns two annotation streams over the same documents at character level, resolves unambiguous cases by an explicit and logged policy, and routes candidate conflicts to a browser-based adjudication interface where reviewers accept either side, build field-level hybrids, or flag items for re-annotation.

The proposed MSEF represents each character as an era-specific manifold point and learns continuous inter-era transition rules via Neural Ordinary Differential Equations, which can be trained end-to-end through character evolution pairs across any two eras.

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.
