From Weak Task Specifications to Scientific Extraction Agents: Optimizing Task Construction

Most methods that optimize LLM prompts and agent workflows assume that task-specific output schemas, extraction instructions, and evaluation criteria are predefined. For scientific extraction agents, however, a short task goal may not fully determine these components, while specifying them manually is costly. We study...

Pass or Fail? Evaluating LLMs on Two Greek Examination Benchmarks

The rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) imposes a thorough evaluation of their linguistic and analytical capabilities as well as constraints, particularly for a language with limited benchmark coverage such as Greek. To address the limited availability of comprehensive benchmarks in this domain, we introd...

InfiMed2: A Generalist Medical Multimodal Foundation Model from Contextual Evidence and Stability-Aware Supervision

This work introduces InfiMed2, a family of 4B and 27B generalist medical multimodal foundation models built around stage-aware data design, and curates a 55.68B-token corpus that combines broad clinical knowledge with context-rich biomedical visual evidence through source-specific processing.

TQTS-Bench: A Multi-Syntax Benchmark for Text-to-Query over Time-Series Databases

TQTS-BENCH is introduced, a multi-syntax benchmark for evaluating text-to-query capabilities over TSDBs, and error analysis reveals that this performance gap mainly stems from the heterogeneous query syntaxes across different TSDBs, misinterpretation of time-specific intents, and incorrect schema linking.

Draft-KV: Learning Useful Latent Communication Between Language Models

Latent communication passes internal states between language models instead of decoded text, but higher receiver accuracy does not show that the receiver used the message content, so the interface can supply the gain while making the sharer dispensable.

ReMCTS: Reflection-Enhanced Monte Carlo Tree Search for Code Generation

ReMCTS, an execution-grounded, memory-augmented, LLM-guided MCTS-style search framework that organizes program candidates as tree states, retains branch-local debugging context, retrieves failure experience across branches, and distinguishes failed checks from unavailable evidence is presented.

Rewarding Novel Deductions: Solver-guided Process Rewards for Logical Reasoning

S PRING uses SMT solver as a training-time verifier of intermediate reasoning steps to provide process-level supervision and introduces the notion of a novel reasoning step, namely, a step that is logically valid, consistent with the evolving reasoning state, and not already implied by previously accepted non-contradic...

RGDT-Bench: Benchmarking LLM Reasoning for Rule-Governed Decisions and Their Justifications

A simple reward model with warrant supervision is trained, training a simple reward model that outperforms both outcome-supervised baselines across nearly all response-selection comparisons, supporting RGDT-Bench's warrant supervision for RGDT reasoning.

When Words Fall Short: Iterative Synergy Between Verbalized Reasoning and Hidden Features for LLM Confidence Estimation

Experiments demonstrate that, by iteratively exploiting richer hidden features and adapting to the evolving policy distribution, IPoET consistently outperforms both estimator- and verbalization-based baselines in-domain and achieves superior or comparable results across all out-of-domain metrics.

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.
