Q-TIE: A Lightweight and Generalizable Re-ranking Framework for Temporal Information Retrieval

Q-TIE is proposed, a re-ranking framework based on learned Temporal Intent Extraction that generalizes beyond predefined rules via model-based learning while explicitly modeling temporal constraints as a separate signal - jointly achieving what each paradigm typically trades off.

From UNDRR Reports to Event Records: Schema-Constrained LLM Extraction of Georeferenced Disasters

Disaster-risk-reduction archives describe hazard events in prose that databases such as EM-DAT (Delforge et al., 2025) cannot ingest directly. We present an LLM pipeline that generates candidate georeferenced event records using a controlled hazard vocabulary and fixed schema, retaining evidence for review. Applied to...

Federated Multilingual Speech-LLMs: Architecture and Aggregation Strategy Benchmarking

A comprehensive benchmark of Federated Learning for multilingual Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) for multilingual Speech-LLM architectures, evaluating four Speech-LLM architectures on the Multilingual LibriSpeech dataset shows that optimized learning rates are critical for performance.

FLARE: A Full-Lifecycle Dense Supervision Paradigm for Long-Horizon Coding Agents via Generative Reward Model

While test-time scaling enhances Large Language Model (LLM) agents in long-horizon software engineering (SWE), sparse binary rewards (Pass/Fail) create a severe credit assignment crisis and waste failed exploratory trajectories. Current trajectory optimization and scaling methods are costly and structurally limited, re...

Constrained Decoding Eliminates Structural Failures in Small LLMs but Reveals a Scale-Dependent Semantic Gap

It is found that CD eliminates all structural failures across all models, but content accuracy reveals a persistent semantic gap that is scale-dependent: type coercion failures are fully CD-rescuable, while instruction-semantic failures remain CD-resistant.

GRACE: Grounded Adversarial Reasoning over Canadian Law

Large language models have shown strong performance across a range of legal tasks, but existing benchmarks rarely evaluate the ability to take and defend a legal position, reason under incomplete information, or synthesize multiple statutory provisions. This gap is particularly pronounced for Canadian law, which remain...

On the Efficiency-Safety Dilemma in Large Reasoning Models

It is found that while efficiency methods seemingly reduce the success rate of jailbreak attacks, this improvement is often superficial and largely arises from degraded reasoning capabilities leading to"attempted but failed"malicious responses, rather than an increase in genuine alignment.

Paragraph Boundaries Are Not White Space:Compression Depth as the Signature of Hierarchical Structure

A hierarchical rotary positional encoding (hRoPE) that represents paragraph, sentence, and token indices as separate channels, hold the token sequence fixed, intervene on the paragraph coordinate $p_1$, and measure cross-paragraph attention with a token-distance-exact estimator is used.

BabelArena: A Large-Scale Multilingual Benchmark for LLM Agents

BabelFlow is introduced, a benchmark-general agentic workflow that adapts existing agent benchmarks to new languages by analyzing runtime dependencies, coordinating structure-preserving translation, and combining multi-layer verification with human review to preserve task and evaluation semantics.

RPMem: Learning Long-Term Recurrent Parametric Memory Across Sessions for LLM Agents

RPMem is introduced, a two-stage architecture that compiles each session into a model-independent latent memory through forward computation and selectively integrates it with retained memory via a task-trained recurrent gate, establishing RPMem as a lifecycle-independent parametric memory framework that maintains evolv...

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.
