EnSiTa - A Trilingual Multi-Domain Parallel Dataset and Benchmark for Domain-Specific Machine Translation

EnSiTa is presented, a trilingual multi-domain parallel dataset and benchmark for English, Sinhala and Tamil, and is the most extensive systematically documented multi-domain parallel data creation and benchmarking effort for low-resource MT.

Evaluating Explanation-Driven Vision-Language Reasoning via Generation Order Interventions

This work systematically evaluates whether explanations are causally tied to model predictions within a single generation step under a controlled experimental setup, explicitly eliminating unnecessary chain-of-thought or other intermediate reasoning processes across knowledge-intensive QA, visual entailment, and compos...

Clinical Intent Extraction: A FHIR-Aligned Representation and the CIRCA Benchmark

This work introduces Clinical Intent Extraction (CIE), the task of recovering these actions as complete structured rec-ords, and the Clinical Intent Representation (CIR), which decomposes each action into its verb, type, coded target, timing, and condition.

YODAS v3: Over 1 Million Hours of High-Bandwidth, Stereophonic, Multilingual Speech

We present YODAS v3, a weakly-labeled speech corpus containing over 1.1 million hours of 48kHz multi-channel audio in 147 languages, released under a CC BY 3.0 license. YODAS v3 is not only the largest open speech dataset to date, but also the first truly large-scale speech corpus with high-fidelity stereo audio. We fi...

Two Emojis of Difference: What Multilingual Affective Generation Benchmarks Actually Measure

It is shown that cross-provider anisotropy differences vanish under mean-centring, that per-language token costs change sign with the normalising unit, and that multi-view row-wise splits inflate macro-F1 by $3.1$ points and change the top-ranked system.

Controlling Backchannels in Streamable Full-duplex Models

A lightweight backchannel head is introduced that predicts, from a full-duplex model's own hidden states, when a backchannel should begin, and once this probability crosses a tunable threshold, a backchannel is force-decoded.

Large Language Models for Programming: Actually Fixing or Reimplementing Incorrect Code?

Recent studies have shown that Large Language Models can effectively solve problems and fix bugs in diverse programming environments, including competitive programming. Existing approaches primarily evaluate LLM performance in problem solving or bug fixing independently, but do not explore the relationship between thes...

Baseline Shape Decides the Verdict: A Controlled Re-Examination of Ternary Language Models at 60K Parameters

Ternary (1.58-bit) weights are attractive for microcontroller-class language models, but the sub-1M-parameter regime rests mainly on isolated, single-seed comparisons. One prominent example reports that a routed ternary block (convolution, diagonal SSM and sparse attention mixed by a per-token router) beats a parameter...

Likelihood Ranking doesn't Scale Like Prompting in LLMs

LLM evaluation is commonly performed either by prompting models to produce answers or by scoring candidate outputs with likelihood-based metrics. In multiple-choice QA, however, standard likelihood-based scoring is still conditioned on the question and answer set, and can therefore leverage the same task-conditioned an...

Parts-of-Speech as Emergent Categories in SAE Latent Space

Sparse AutoEncoders (SAEs) offer a promising way to inspect language model representations, but it is still unclear what kind of linguistic structure their latents expose. We use part-of-speech (PoS) categories as a controlled test case to study whether morpho-syntactic information is encoded by individual latents or b...

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.
