End-to-end Jordanian dialect speech-to-text self-supervised learning framework

Speech-to-text engines are extremely needed nowadays for different applications, representing an essential enabler in human-robot interaction. Still, some languages suffer from the lack of labeled speech data, especially in the Arabic dialects or any low-resource languages. The need for a self-supervised training proce...

Mitigating Entity Type Confusion in Cross-Domain NER via Multidimensional Quantification and Reasoning Enhancement

Cross-domain Named Entity Recognition (CD-NER) aims to transfer the rich knowledge in the source domain to the target domain. Recent studies adopting decomposition or generation paradigms have achieved significant performance improvements, demonstrating high accuracy in entity span detection. However, during entity typ...

Structure Before Sampling: Community-Aware Core-Set Selection for Data-Efficient Text-to-Speech

Text-to-speech (TTS) corpora are costly to record, yet many utterances add little new phonetic information. Core-set selection reduces this cost by choosing a small training subset under a fixed audio-duration budget. We represent a corpus as a phonotactic graph that links each utterance to its most phonemically simila...

Canonical Procedural Actions: An Auditable Annotation Protocol for Tool-Use Agent Traces

Canonical Procedural Actions (CPAs) is presented, an annotation protocol that records a procedural function, its first agent-event anchor, the agent events that realize it, and separate contextual evidence, and separate contextual evidence.

Taramandal-GPT: Enhancing Astrodynamics Problem-Solving with Knowledge Retrieval and Structured Thinking

Tamarandal-GPT (Constellation-GPT), a domain-adapted framework built on the Qwen3-8b backbone, enhanced with a Retrieval-Augmented Generation pipeline and a fallback mechanism for improved contextual precision, achieves competitive performance against state-of-the-art open- and closed-source models.

Memory vs. Context? Influential Factors of Factual Recall in Language Models

We reproduce and stress-test the work of Yu et al. (2023), who characterize how language models (LMs) arbitrate between memorized knowledge and contradictory in-context statements. We replicate their world-capitals experiments on 31 models spanning Pythia, GPT-2, Qwen3, and Ministral families, including base and post-t...

Vimarsha: Faithful ASR Evaluation for Indian Languages with Demographic Diversity, In-the-Wild Audio and Spelling Variations

Evaluation benchmarks for Indian language automatic speech recognition (ASR) suffer from two systematic biases: optimistic scores from clean, controlled audio conditions, and pessimistic scores from overly rigid transcription standards that penalize valid linguistic variations. We introduce Vimarsha, a 100-hour benchma...

LoopCD: Loop-wise Contrastive Decoding for Improving Reasoning in Looped Language Models

LoopCD, loop-wise contrastive decoding that enhances the reasoning performance of LoopLMs by intervening on these tokens at inference time by exploiting the internal dynamics of LoopLMs and contrast the logits from earlier iterations with logits from the last refined iteration to form the final sampling distribution.

Efficient LLM Distillation for Bangladesh Legal Context: A Smartphone-Compatible Retrieval-Augmented Generation Model

Legal information in Bangladesh is inaccessible to most citizens. Statutory text is English-only, trained lawyers are concentrated in urban centres, and cloud-dependent AI fails where mobile connectivity is unreliable, a setting in which hallucinated legal text causes direct harm. The system addresses statutory interpr...

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.
