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...

Evaluating Feedback Focus and Pedagogical Adaptivity in LLM-Generated Feedback on Student Writing

We investigate whether state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs) generate feedback that reflects the pedagogical practices of expert teachers in terms of feedback focus and adaptivity. Previous evaluation efforts have examined feedback characteristics, its impact on learning, and its target, yet the focus of feedba...

Controlled Attribute-Specific Summarization of Interrogative Dialogues

Effective summarization of interrogative dialogues is a critical task in forensic and investigative settings, requiring high factual accuracy, coherence, and attribute-specific relevance. In this work, we introduce CASPER, a novel Chain-of-Thought Attribute-Specific Prompting for Evaluative Summarization framework that...

Delegated Misalignment: How Multi-Agent Structures Amplify LLM Safety Risks

It is shown that standard single-layer defenses each fail on their own and can even backfire, and called on the community to move beyond per-model alignment and toward composite safety mechanisms before multi-agent LLM systems are deployed at scale.

"AI Is Turning Too Human": How Teenagers Experience and Negotiate AI in Everyday Life

This work examined AI-related discourse on r/teenagers from January 2023 to July 2026 using validated keyword-based retrieval and a human-in-the-loop, LLM-assisted thematic analysis to position adolescent AI use not simply as technology adoption, but as an emerging negotiation over AI's place and boundaries in everyday...

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.
