MobileGym: A Verifiable and Highly Parallel Simulation Platform for Mobile GUI Agent Research

MobileGym enables two capabilities previously out of reach for everyday apps: verifiable outcome signals through deterministic state-based judging over structured JSON state, and scalable online RL through low-cost parallel rollouts through low-cost parallel rollouts.

DreamAvoid: Critical-Phase Test-Time Dreaming to Avoid Failures in VLA Policies

This work proposes DreamAvoid, a critical-phase test-time dreaming framework that enables VLA models to anticipate and avoid failures, and introduces an autonomous boundary learning paradigm to refine the system's understanding of the subtle boundary between success and failure.

MAGE: Safeguarding LLM Agents against Long-Horizon Threats via Shadow Memory

To the best knowledge, ShadowMem represents the first framework to detect and mitigate long-horizon threats using an agentic memory approach, establishing a new paradigm for this critical challenge and opening promising directions for future research.

Preregistered Belief Revision Contracts

It is proved that under evidential contracts with conservative fallback, social-only rounds cannot increase confidence and cannot generate purely conformity-driven wrong-but-sure cascades, and it is demonstrated that sound enforcement yields epistemic accountability.

Causal Tracing of Audio-Text Fusion in Large Audio Language Models

Despite the strong performance of large audio language models (LALMs) in various tasks, exactly how and where they integrate acoustic features with textual context remains unclear. We adapt causal tracing to investigate the internal information flow of LALMs during audio comprehension. By conducting layer-wise and toke...

Retrieval Augmented (Knowledge Graph), and Large Language Model-Driven Design Structure Matrix (DSM) Generation of Cyber-Physical Systems

We explore the potential of Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and Graph-based RAG (GraphRAG) for generating Design Structure Matrices (DSMs). We test these methods on two distinct use cases--a power screwdriver and a CubeSat with known architectural references--evaluating their perform...

WAInjectBench: Benchmarking Prompt Injection Detections for Web Agents

The key findings show that while some detectors can identify attacks that rely on explicit textual instructions or visible image perturbations with moderate to high accuracy, they largely fail against attacks that omit explicit instructions or employ imperceptible perturbations.

Optimizing watermarks for large language models

With the rise of large language models (LLMs) and concerns about potential misuse, watermarks for generative LLMs have recently attracted much attention. An important aspect of such watermarks is the trade-off between their identifiability and their impact on the quality of the generated text. This paper introduces a s...

Towards Expert Financial QA via Self-Improving RAG

Self-Improving RAG is taken, a framework that decomposes document QA into three specialized agents (Retrieval, Reasoning, and Judge) coordinated by an orchestrator with feedback-driven self-correction, providing full interpretability.

Context-Aware Multimodal Claim Verification in Spoken Dialogues

Spoken factual claims often occur within multi-turn conversations, where surrounding dialogue can provide context unavailable from the claim alone. Yet most fact-checking research evaluates isolated text, leaving conversational audio under-studied. We introduce MAD2, a synthetic Multi-turn Audio Dialogues benchmark for...

Routing-Aware Expert Calibration for Machine Unlearning in Mixture-of-Experts Language Models

Experiments on WMDP and MUSE-BOOKS across multiple MoE LLMs show that TRACE consistently improves the forget-utility trade-off, yielding a 9\% relative utility improvement over the strongest baseline under comparable forgetting quality and the best performance on three out of four MUSE-BOOKS metrics.

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.
