MixDetect: Word-Level Localization and Quantification of AI Editing

Large language models are increasingly used to edit human-written text rather than generate entire texts from scratch. Conventional AI-text detectors mainly distinguish human-written from fully AI-generated text, while recent methods for AI-edited text typically provide only a text-level label or editing-degree score....

Does CoT-Pass@k Really Check the CoT? A Multilingual Mathematical Audit

Pass@k measures whether a model reaches a correct answer under repeated sampling, but never how: a lucky guess counts the same as sound reasoning. CoT-Pass@k was proposed to close that gap, adding an LLM-as-judge that must assess a solution's reasoning chain before it counts. Its value rests entirely on one assumption:...

How to Reduce Whisper Hallucination

The authors collect 40,891 hallucination phrases in 100 languages, choose a text-to-speech system by measurement, and synthesise those phrases as positives, so the model meets the same text both as something to suppress and as something to transcribe.

Locally Sound, Globally Insufficient: The Local-Global Gap in Multi-Hop Reasoning

Instead of post-hoc diagnosis, E-Closure is introduced to supervise three dependencies for reliable reasoning during training, combining generation supervision on supported original and counterfactual responses with bidirectional switching constraints.

PC-SubMax: Efficient Prompt Compression via Regularized Submodular Maximization

While large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in long-context scenarios, lengthy prompts can increase inference costs and latency and exacerbate the ``lost-in-the-middle''phenomenon. Selective prompt compression offers a model-agnostic approach to alleviating these issues. However, methods based on fixed...

AdaTutoRank: Learning to Rerank Document Sets via Adaptive Tutoring Optimization for RAG and Deep Research

AdaTutoRank is proposed, a setwise reranker trained with Adaptive Tutoring Optimization under a three-level hierarchy of nine rubric dimensions, which supplies silver labels for the cold start, rewards for reinforcement learning, and hints for distillation.

Self-Reports Do Not Identify Self-Models: An Identifiability Test for Counterfactual Reports

Language-model self-reports are evidence about behavior in a prompt environment, not by themselves evidence of a self-model. We investigate counterfactual reports about affect-like states under activation interventions and ask whether the report remains bound to the named intervention when the demonstration environment...

SinBrief: A Hybrid Framework for Abstractive Text Summarisation of Sinhala Legal Documents

Experimental results demonstrate that SinBrief produces summaries with lower lexical overlap than extractive baselines while maintaining factual consistency, demonstrating the viability of hybrid, largely annotation-free abstractive summarisation for low-resource legal NLP tasks.

FA-Bench: A Benchmark for Word-Level and Phone-Level Forced-Alignment and ASR Timestamps Under Clean and Noisy Conditions

Forced alignment aligns speech audio with a text transcript to generate word and phone timestamps. Published comparisons normalize transcripts, split the data and match boundaries differently, so their numbers cannot be read together. We present FA-Bench, an open framework that fixes those choices once and releases the...

PlurVA-LLM-2026 Shared Task Track-1: Pluralistic Value Alignment in LLMs via Multilingual Fine-Tuning and Threshold Calibration

This approach combines option-permutation augmentation for Chinese data, annotator vote expansion for Indonesian data, and binary reformulation with SinhalaMMLU augmentation with SinhalaMMLU augmentation for Sri Lankan data to focus on pluralistic value alignment in the contexts of China, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka.

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.
