We introduce Knowledge Pull Requests (KPRs), a framework for continual document authoring that makes each change interpretable. Documents require ongoing revision as new knowledge surfaces from other sources, languages, or times, but existing approaches either edit with no account of what knowledge changed or regenerat...
PersonaWeaver is introduced, which disentangles world building from behavioral specification and models behavior through setting general, diverse, manually curated banks of moral positions and conversational reactions and allows us to test how far LLM(s) can be pushed beyond their default behavioral patterns across set...

A methodological framework for constructing new semantic knowledge at a higher level of abstraction is proposed under the notions of semantic compatibility and incompatibility for NLI, which will enable the development of more robust agents and interpretable reasoning, guiding AI toward reliable language understanding.

Large language models (LLMs) have increasingly been used to investigate how children acquire syntax at an early stage of development. This is notably the central scientific goal of the BabyLM challenge, a community-wide effort to develop models that achieve human-level syntactic performance while being trained on devel...

In LLM-based speech translation, transcription-based chain-of-thought (CoT) suffers from a mismatch between reference transcripts used in supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and model-generated transcripts at inference. To address this, we propose joint recognition and translation fine-tuning via group relative policy optimiz...
It is argued that each NLP subfield should pair its main performance metric with a calibration score and call for treating calibration as an essential property of every model rather than a niche topic.

While Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning has improved the capability of language models, directly applying it to Spoken Language Models (SLMs) may introduce long silent intervals under the serial"think-then-speak"paradigm, disrupting real-time spoken interaction. To address this issue, we propose an asynchronous think-al...

A key factor in deciding whether to trust an automatic prediction is its confidence score, which should be calibrated to match the actual probability of the prediction being correct. Most confidence calibration metrics target binary or multi-class tasks, while multi-label calibration remains largely underexplored. Mult...

ACERT (Averaged Contextual Emotion Representation through Time), a module that integrates a flexible-length window of conversational context to better capture emotional evolution in spoken interactions, is introduced.

This work constructs a hierarchical cognitive safety structure, which motivates the development of a novel, high-quality scene safety understanding dataset based on multi-step reasoning with process labels, and introduces a modular and flexible process supervision framework that reflects the hierarchical nature of huma...

This extension to GROBID, a modular font-stream parser running on CPU, is the de-facto standard for structuring scientific articles and underpins several of the largest open scholarly corpora and has the best paragraph precision on both corpora, the best section detection on Materials Science, and a character error rat...

On an 80B-A3B MoE model, HySparse2 outperforms HySparse and Hybrid SWA on long-context retrieval and multi-turn agentic tasks, while substantially reducing prefill computation and KV-cache storage.
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.
