Althea is introduced, a retrieval-augmented system for user-driven claim evaluation that matches standard pipelines on AVeriTeC while improving supported/refuted discrimination and cautioning against treating AI-delivered verdicts as a source of durable literacy gains.

Formal semantics and distributional semantics are distinct approaches to linguistic meaning: the former models meaning as reference via model-theoretic structures; the latter as vectors in high-dimensional spaces shaped by usage. This paper establishes which part of intensional formal semantics admits a linear vector-s...
Tool-using agents can repeat a final decision while changing their recorded execution. We introduce the Determinism-Faithfulness Assurance Harness (DFAH), a framework that distinguishes decision repeatability, trajectory agreement, and evidence-conditioned faithfulness. Task correctness requires separately qualified la...
This survey synthesizes agentic reasoning methods into a unified roadmap bridging thought and action, and outlines open challenges and future directions, including personalization, long-horizon interaction, world modeling, scalable multi-agent training, and governance for real-world deployment.

Vibe coding is a new software development paradigm in which human engineers prompt a large language model (LLM) agent to complete complex coding tasks with little supervision. Although vibe coding is increasingly adopted, is the generated code really safe to deploy in production? To investigate this question, we propos...

Multi-scale CIF (M-CIF), which performs multi-level alignment by integrating character and phoneme level supervision progressively distilled into subword representations, thereby enhancing robust acoustic-text alignment, is proposed.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are widely used because they process structures, syntax and code well, but this same ability also makes them paradoxically vulnerable. We introduce BreakFun, a jailbreak method that frames a harmful request as code-execution simulation. The prompt gives the model a benign Python class defin...

This work proposes SalQ-VLM, an importance-aware PTQ framework that prioritizes salient tokens and suppresses redundant vision tokens during calibration, and derives a gradient-driven importance factor that captures token-level importance variance and is theoretically grounded in the relationship among loss perturbatio...

Claim-locked reporting is proposed, a provenance-before-prose protocol that fixes the evidence source, numbers, direction, and allowed language strength of each reportable claim before the LLM writes only connective prose.

Although context windows have expanded significantly in recent years, hallucinations in long-context summarization remain a challenge. Long novels are better suited than news or papers for researching these hallucinations, due to their intrinsic information and detailed descriptions of events and dialogues. However, cu...

This work asks how the headline statistics of a web-PDF corpus change when each document is weighted by the text it contributes rather than counted once, and recommends that corpus statistics be reported in both units, documents and tokens.
Conspiracy theories commonly attribute important events to the actions of powerful and secretive actors. While computational research has largely focused on document-level analyses of conspiracy theories, less attention has been paid to identifying the actors that drive such narratives. We develop annotation guidelines...

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.
