FAVoR: Measuring and Mitigating Author-Style Homogenization in Federated Personalized Generation

FAVoR (Federated Authorial Voice Retention), an author-style residual mechanism for federated PEFT, improves author-style retention over standard and personalized federated PEFT baselines and is supported by component ablations, external verification, and cold-start transfer.

ToolSearcher: Optimizing Tool Selection at Scale via Reinforcement Learning

This work proposes ToolSearcher, a novel RL framework for effective multi-turn search and fine-grained optimization in large-scale tool selection, which introduces category-constrained tool discrimination to improve the model's ability to distinguish functionally similar tools.

From annotation to reasoning: Culture in language models

This work argues that literary interpretation offers a useful setting for studying cultural referencing and reuse: how texts invoke, repeat, and transform earlier expressions across historical and linguistic contexts and proposes linking evidence-centered benchmarks, evaluation that preserves scholarly disagreement, an...

Effects of Transcript Compression on LLM-based Medical Misinformation Detection in Japanese YouTube Videos

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to assess long-form medical videos, but their effectiveness may depend on whether transcripts are provided in full or compressed through summarization, retrieval, or claim screening. This study examines how such transcript compression affects LLM-based veracity classif...

Evidence-Grounded Auditing of Identification Assumptions in Climate-Policy Causal Evaluations

Difference-in-differences (DID) studies are widely used to evaluate climate policy, but assessing the evidence supporting their identification assumptions remains challenging. We introduce ARGUS, a structured language-model pipeline that audits reported evidence against an eleven-dimension assumption-implication-eviden...

I-Parakeet: Integer-Only Conformer ASR on Mobile NPU

I-Parakeet is an integer-only implementation of NVIDIA's Parakeet-CTC (0.6B parameters) that runs on a smartphone NPU without any floating-point operator or CPU fallback, and introduces a minimax-optimized Swish approximation that minimizes the maximum error of the Swish output.

Understanding the Role of Prompt Template in Knowledge Distillation for Safety Alignment

This work finds that utilizing chat templates renders the model more compliant with harmful queries compared to a non-chat template, and shows that using a non-chat template during distillation better preserves the base student's internal representations, while chat template distillation induces a larger representation...

Learning Natural Conversational Behavior in Tandem Speech-to-Speech Models with Randomized Guidance

Tandem speech-to-speech architectures couple a responsive speech frontend with an asynchronous text backend. In KAME, a large language model (LLM) serves as the backend, supplying candidate responses as guidance to the speech frontend while the user is still speaking. Ordinary conversation recordings capture the eventu...

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.
