Communication is made possible by common ground---the unspoken knowledge that people share and presuppose of one another, whether that be online or offline. In his conception of common ground, Clark (1996) distinguishes between personal and communal common ground, and asserts that the latter is graded: the more communi...

Burnout is a chronic occupational syndrome, and open source is close to a worst case for it: maintainers absorb unbounded demand with no manager to reallocate work and no organization to notice decline. The cost is not only personal. Burnout precedes withdrawal, and in projects sustained by a handful of maintainers, on...
CL-DAF is presented, a Cross-Lingual Disease-Alignment Framework that identifies acoustic dimensions whose disease effects remain consistent across languages and provides a foundation for multilingual clinical speech models emphasizing pathology over language-dependent variation.

CovR is presented, an agentic framework for automated testbench generation that combines self-reflection loops with simulation-based feedback to maximize coverage and a reinforcement learning (RL) framework tailored for coverage-driven testbench generation, leveraging tool-derived rewards from simulation and coverage f...
A collective's fate is largely set by two single-agent measurements: the threshold a claim's wording sets, and the message capacity that sets the transition point, which is largely set by the threshold a claim's wording sets.
Hostile rhetoric toward social groups can normalize exclusion and justify mistreatment, as well as contribute to rising polarization and political violence. Efforts to moderate hostile rhetoric in online speech draw on foundational theories in social and moral psychology, and political science. However, these theories...

JEPA-Anything, a domain-agnostic framework based on orthogonal predictive factorization (OPF), achieves the lowest one-step and 100-step molecular errors among compared methods in all four systems and supports a common factorized predictive principle across heterogeneous worlds.

These findings show that pretrained decoding states can support both token prediction and decisions about accessing distant information, allowing models to allocate global computation as needed during decoding, allowing models to allocate global computation as needed during decoding.

This paper introduces and operationalizes summarization bias: a proposed systematic tendency of large language models (LLMs) to represent narrative meaning as an abstract summary label rather than as the reconstructable inferential structure that produces it. Within the Bulut Doctrine, narrative effect is theorized alo...
These findings show that robust multilingual healthcare evaluation requires explicit testing of register variation, uncertainty handling, and the provenance and invariance of adaptation labels.
Search advertising connects user intent with commercial content and plays a critical role in platform monetization. Recent systems typically align pretrained generative models with a single business reward, such as eCPM, or use naive reward fusion for preliminary multi-objective alignment. However, an ideal search adve...

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.
