DynamicDx evaluates each step in 71 neurological consultations across 11 sign categories, linking authentic patient videos to confirmed diagnoses and fixed charts built from the same case reports, so that every model queries the same evidence.

It is shown that general-purpose multimodal LLMs, without being trained as pathology foundation models, consistently outperform these specialized models in cross-domain histological similarity judgments, exposing a fundamental robustness gap in current pathology foundation models.
Large vision-language models (LVLMs) inherit massive activations from their text-only bases: spikes where a few fixed hidden channels receive values thousands of times above the typical magnitude. The text spike systematically appears in early layers at a fixed initial position, independently of input content. Visual s...

A separate survey comparison finds that selecting the more responsive checkpoint can worsen human fit; responsiveness is confounded with training status, and temperature calibration largely removes this cost but not errors in group ordering.

G2DA first partitions tasks into vision- and language-centric groups through gradient-guided cross-modal decoupling, then constructs modality-specific curricula based on task gradient similarity and employs bidirectional rehearsal to mitigate the recency effects introduced by sequential optimization.

Synthetic semantic-preserving transformations that are rule-based and invertible are used as a probe of alignment generalization and suggest that semantic-preserving distribution shifts can expose a recurring gap in how utility and alignment generalize in current LLMs.

Experiments show that existing GUI-WMs exhibit systematic failures under observation-only condition, while predictive-state augmentation substantially restores state-sensitive pre- diction across evaluated WMs, preserves generative fidelity, and improves down- stream performance of GUI agents on AndroidWorld.

Bounded margins mitigate confident hallucinations during post-training, implemented through an entropy-dependent margin bound in direct preference optimization (DPO) and shown to mitigate confident hallucinations during post-training.

DeliverMem is proposed, an instantiation of delivery as three decisions: keep the original modality, give each item a readable identity, and state when it was seen, with a retrieval-side adapter for the one property delivery cannot supply.
VGBench is introduced, a 1,018-item diagnostic benchmark for action-level addressedness across side-talk, self-talk, and speaker-switch scenarios that measures multi-cue acoustic-context gating rather than isolated speaker identity.
Activation Flow (ActFlow), which manufactures activations from correct labels without fine-tuning, scores higher than the smallest-norm rule in 16 of the 18 combinations of locked model and $k, and its steering direction is nearly orthogonal to the honest difference-in-means direction.

Intent drift is established as a measurable multi-turn failure mode and explicit state maintenance as a partial mitigation and IntentFlux is introduced, an executable benchmark that converts verifiable tasks into dialogues with controlled intent changes while preserving their original graders.

Flint-interactive gives AI agents a language for creating interactive visualizations. Click a chart, filter data, highlight related content, and explore beyond the view the author originally chose. The post Flint-interactive: A language for creating interactive data visualizations appeared first on Microsoft Research.
A new computational approach reveals how cells communicate to assemble into tissues. This could accelerate stem cell engineering, improve disease models, and inform therapies.

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.
