This work proposes SHED, a two-stage workflow for inferring a robust and compact structure that improves F-1 scores by 13%--68% over non-LLM baselines and 9%--15% over expensive LLM-based approaches.

Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) generate text by iterative unmasking. At each denoising step, a dLLM proposes a token at every masked position, but the decoder commits only a confident subset of these proposals. Trace-based on-policy distillation (TOPD) builds on this process by matching the student to a strong...

BERT4DTI is presented, which encodes SMILES strings with ChemBERTa and amino-acid sequences with ProtBERT, applies bidirectional mutual attention between token-level representations, and classifies the resulting interaction features using convolutional layers and a multilayer perceptron.

This work studies failure disclosure: whether a model admits that an attempted solution failed rather than staying silent or presenting it as successful, and makes reporting substantially more consistent, though its effect on task performance depends on the setting.

This property, coherence, is tested with a battery of logically linked questions that needs no labels, and finds that the checks need no labels expose biases that appear only when question forms are compared, and inconsistencies within items.
Constrained-option scoring reads a model's probabilities for a fixed set of permitted answers, so it returns a score even when the model is about to write something else. We study a prompt that quotes a multiple-choice item, ending in the item's own answer instruction, and asks for a forecast of whether a reader model...

This paper introduces MedRouter, an agentic system that uses an embedding-based multi-label router to select and query specialist LLMs, then passes their responses to a generator to produce the final answer, and proposes SCALE (Specialist Competence-Aware Learning), a two-stage training framework.

A recast long-duration ECG interpretation as a long-horizon, online (streaming, causal) sequential decision process and introduces ECG-Scroll, which evaluates a signal-threshold rule agent alongside off-the-shelf LLM agents online, characterizing how they use memory, tools, and planning and where the benchmark's head-r...

SLU encompasses a diverse set of tasks, including ISLR, CSLR, and SLT. Although these tasks share basic semantic and linguistic foundations, they are typically addressed with task-specific architectures and training pipelines, which hinders knowledge sharing and requires costly pretraining and finetuning for each task....

In this work, we consider algorithmic harms that may arise as generative models are incorporated into machine learning platforms. We argue that existing harm taxonomies and threat models require extension to (1) address novel causal drivers of well-studied representational and quality-of-service harms; and (2) anticipa...

DAST (Diversifying Arithmetic Sampling with TokenTour), a method that increases the diversity of LLM outputs without any change to the marginal distribution and with negligible generation-time overhead, and significantly improves performance on the downstream task of ProtoQA.
TCMQA, an open benchmark of 38,279 questions from Chinese TCM licensing examinations, paired with 15,151 responses from 101 licensed practitioners, is presented, and 29 instruction-tuned models from 9 families are evaluated, finding difficulty does not transfer between models and practitioners.

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.
