Evidence that evaluation material entered training does not reveal how much it affected evaluation. This distinction leaves a contaminated benchmark score difficult to interpret: provenance can establish contact, but only a counterfactual can quantify the performance attributable to that contact. We present LeakScale,...
The results show that context representations following the principled approach can reduce reliance on model scale, pointing toward a future of AI systems with frontier-level performance powered by smaller models.

Tempered Evidence Fusion (TEF) is proposed, a training-free rule that weights each sentence's log-odds by its normalized information gain, as derived from a generalized Bayesian posterior, making the fused score nearly vanish for uncertain sentences while preserving the Bayes-optimal weight of decisive evidence.

Results show that out-of-domain generalization remains a major bottleneck and highlight the effectiveness of recent Arabic-specialized speech models, multimodal dialect identification approaches, and ensemble methods.

Post-hoc analyses quantify changes in answers and submitted evidence, and show when aggregate accuracy and evidence-coverage rates miss the claim-level pattern, as well as revealing changes that endpoint and aggregate metrics leave unresolved.
We introduce the Illinois Social Attitudes Aggregate Corpus (ISAAC), an open, modular, and accessible corpus of 527 million+ English-language Reddit posts selected for relevance to six key social group distinctions based on race, sexuality, age, ability, body weight, and skin tone, covering the 17-year period from 2007...

LEGO is proposed, a dual-module framework that synergizes Legal Expert GraphRAG and expert Chain-of-thought for complex legal reasoning that achieves the best results among the evaluated baselines on the open-ended benchmarks.

Under this setup, learned planning is a weak relevance signal rather than a replacement for strong retrieval, and packing-order and score-flatness analyses did not identify a stable mechanism.
A sentence-level benchmark for evaluating the ability of LLMs to classify interpretive canons as articulated by Larenz in the tradition of Savigny is contributed, operationalizing this conception of interpretation as classification criteria.
Current literature evaluates large language models (LLMs) on multilingual kinship understanding using multiple choice benchmarks, treating it as a recognition problem. We instead prompt five open weight LLMs to generate kinship terms in three non Western languages (Hindi, Tamil, and Korean) across two communicative tas...
No single Large Language Model (LLM) is uniformly reliable across queries, motivating multi-model inference systems that either route among models or combine their outputs. However, routing stops after selecting an initial model, while dense collaboration invokes peers on every query. We show that collaboration is non-...

PHONOS is a streaming module for real-time SA that performs accent neutralization in a privacy sense: reducing accent-origin cues by converting non-native segmental realizations toward a chosen target accent domain.
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.
