Digital diglossia: Arabic between X and Facebook

The study concludes that the diglossic use of SA and CA contributes to the growing body of research on digital discourse, unveiling that the digital age reshapes but does not erode diglossic boundaries, giving rise instead to a reconfigured digital diglossia.

Towards Efficient Reasoning: Learning Causal Shortcuts for Diffusion Language Models

This work introduces a step-by-step token extraction procedure to extract causal shortcuts from data, and applies parallel prioritized masking on these tokens during training to enable efficient and accurate convergence to correct answers via causal shortcuts.

Complementary Roles of Activation and Parametric Memory in Few-Shot Learning

At test time, large language models (LLMs) can encode historical information in activation memory (i.e., KV caches) and parametric memory (i.e., updated parameters). While activation memory is generally considered effective for factual recall and parametric memory for learning new tasks, their interplay remains unclear...

Beyond Poetry: Can Large Language Models Generate Classical Arabic Maqamat?

Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong performance in creative text generation, yet their ability to produce culturally grounded and stylistically constrained literary forms remains underexplored. Prior work has focused largely on modern language varieties and poetry, while classical prose traditions such as ma...

Exact Feedback Is Not Control: Evaluating Text-based Closed-Loop Revision in LLMs

Closed-loop revision is increasingly used in large language model (LLM) applications, but failures may reflect incomplete feedback or ineffective responses to correct feedback. We introduce a fixed-budget revision protocol with deterministic verifiers that report all remaining violations across exact-length, lexical, a...

Reference-Based Analysis of Coherence and Diversity in Open-Ended Text Generation

A reference-based framework for examining coherence and diversity through three perspectives is presented: aligning their evolution with human trajectories, comparing their summaries with a human continuation of the same prompt, and estimating their likelihood under a human reference distribution.

A Native-Reference Coordinate Geometry for L2 Pronunciation Deviation Using Self-Supervised Speech Models

Self-supervised speech models encode rich phonetic information, but it remains unclear how to transform this information into interpretable metrics for second-language (L2) pronunciation assessment in spontaneous speech. We propose a native-reference coordinate geometry in which phone-class averages from native speech...

TEMPS: Temporal Sentence Embeddings for Temporal Information Retrieval

This work presents TEMPS (Temporal Embedding Model for Precise Search), a modular temporal branch that attaches to a frozen semantic retriever and trains on that signal, and introduces Temporal Textual Similarity (TTS), a task that measures how well two anchored texts align in time, independent of their topical similar...

How Much Were You Told? Measuring External Information in Peer Reviews

Self-Conditioning is proposed, an unsupervised information-theoretic estimator that compares the likelihood of a review under its production context with its likelihood when that context is augmented with hints extracted from the review itself, and how that context is augmented with hints extracted from the review itse...

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.
