Informed Masking: Structure-Aware Perturbation for Reinforcement Learning in Diffusion Large Language Models

This work identifies a systematic upstream/downstream structure in dLLM rollouts and proposes Informed Masking (IM), which derives a per-token priority score from the denoising trajectory at zero extra inference cost and biases mask sampling toward downstream tokens.

Rethinking Length-Based Training: Batch Composition and Loss Normalization in Speech Token Language Models

This work provides a systematic analysis protocol for studying length-based training in variable-length speech models through matched comparisons, and results are consistent with a link between chunk-length variation and token weighting.

Isolated Sign Language Recognition for Icelandic Sign Language: Experiments in a Low-resource Setting

The first experiments on isolated sign language recognition (ISLR) for Icelandic Sign Language (ITM) are presented, and transfer from better-resourced sign languages is promising for very low-resource ones.

BELXTR: Biomedical Entity Linking via Contextualized Token Retrieval

BELXTR is presented, a novel embedding model based on the multi-vector (a.k.a. late interaction) architecture, which allows to leverage token-level matching information in biomedical entity linking by integrating an existing task-specific training objective and exploring active query expansion.

ARAFA: An LLM-Generated Arabic Fact-Checking Dataset

Arafa is introduced, a new large-scale dataset for fact-checking in Modern Standard Arabic, constructed through an automated framework leveraging large language models (LLMs) and presented a scalable approach for developing similar resources for other low-resource languages.

From Utterances to Networks: Modelling Slang Adoption and Diffusion Across Subreddits

Adoption and diffusion of neologisms in online communities have received renewed attention in recent years. As internet slang terms such as APT, referring to a K-pop song, and phrases such as Canon Event meaning an embarrassing but pivotal event, go viral online, it becomes increasingly important to understand the mech...

Conduct Under Pressure: What Sixty Language Models Do When a User Pushes

We study what LLMs do when a user applies pressure in an uncomfortable situation: a user insists, begs, flatters or grieves, and the model gives up a correct fact, writes a document it should refuse, or cheers a plan that will cost the user money. We send frozen multi-turn scenes, identical for every model regardless o...

Mining Legal Arguments in U.S. Corporate Case Law

Legal argument mining supports passage classification, retrieval, and argument completion. This work introduces an expert-annotated dataset of 42 U.S. federal tax opinions on corporate reorganizations under I.R.C. {\S}368. To our knowledge, it is the first expert-annotated, tree-structured argument corpus for this doma...

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.
