Perplexity Predicts Protection: Choosing Pretrained Backbones for Worst-Client Fairness in Federated Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning

Federated learning lets multiple parties train a shared model without pooling their data, but a client with far less data than the others can end up poorly served even when the group's average accuracy looks fine. We ask whether the choice of pretrained backbone affects this under LoRA fine-tuning, and whether per-word...

Knowing When to Trust Images: Reliability-Aware Multi-modal Entity Alignment

A novel Reliability-Aware framework for MMEA (RA-MMEA), which assesses visual reliability and adaptively improves unreliable visual representations for robust entity alignment and enables more reliable visual representations for modality fusion, thereby improving performance.

Judging a Review by its Cover: A Reliability Analysis of LLM-based Peer Review Evaluation Metrics

Findings show that many peer-review evaluation metrics partially conflate review quality with linguistic presentation, and indicate that robustness to meaning-preserving rewriting should be validated before such metrics are used to compare human-written, AI-assisted, and AI-generated reviews.

SoK: Formal Methods for Fact-Checking and Information Integrity

This work organises the field of automated fact-checking by what is being formalised instead, which gives five levels: the claim, the reasoning, the system doing the checking, the ecosystem the claim spreads through, and the regulatory obligation.

ChemCLIR-Bench: Benchmarking Cross-Lingual Information Retrieval in Multilingual Chemical Patents

A controlled diagnostic evaluation framework for CLIR over industrial technical text is established and some multilingual embedding models that perform strongly in monolingual settings exhibit sharp declines when queries and documents are in different languages, providing practical insights for model selection in cross...

Euston: Training Away Mathematical Sycophancy Without Losing the Mathematics

Euston is presented, an 8B mathematical claim-verification model trained to resist the all-false composition of the official evaluation sets and the low precision implied at realistic error prevalence, which is principally the all-false composition of the official evaluation sets.

Enhancing speech representation learning with cross-modal knowledge transfer with HGNN under low resource settings: the case study of Yemba

This work proposes to enhance acoustic representation trough a cross-modal transfer knowledge approach, based on heterogeneous graph neural networks (HGNNs), where acoustic and linguistic entities are modeled as distinct node types within a unified graph.

Low resource cross-modal alignment using HGNN to enhance speech representation

This work proposes a data-efficient space alignment method based on Heterogeneous Graph Neural Networks and link prediction that yields results comparable to those of SAMU-XLSR, a state-of-the-art method, and even surpasses it for the Yemba language in the task of word retrieval, while using far fewer resources.

Chronologic: Measuring Language Models'Ability to Represent the Past

Language models are appealing tools for research on the past. But to trust the evidence a model provides, researchers need to know whether its responses fit the period represented. Validation is challenging, because this is not a task living people ordinarily perform, and because many questions have multiple correct an...

Bridging Static and Agentic RAG for Taiwanese Historical Question Answering

Agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) enables language models to adapt retrieval based on previously retrieved evidence, but it remains unclear whether such adaptive orchestration consistently outperforms well-designed static pipelines. We conduct a controlled comparison of agentic and static RAG for Taiwanese h...

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.
