SAFARI: An Industrial Benchmark for LLM-Assisted Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly considered for safety-critical engineering, yet their reliability in regulated functional-safety workflows remains underexplored. We introduce SAFARI (Safety-Aware Functional Automotive Risk Inference), the first industrial benchmark for LLM-assisted automotive Hazard Analy...

Steering the Compass: Aligning Dynamic Psychological Counseling Conversations with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Strategies

Recent advancements in large language models have revolutionized the field of psychological counseling, especially in the context of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). While the success of CBT relies heavily on dynamic decision-making informed by the client's real-time mental state, this aspect has often been overlook...

An Analysis of Training-Free Self-Reported Confidence in Language Models

Large language models can report a numerical confidence together with generated content, but it is unclear whether this report is more than calibrated rhetoric. We analyze three training-free signals: confidence verbalized with the answer, post-hoc $P(\mathrm{True})$, and agreement with three additional generations on...

Schema-Anchored Latent Reasoning for Semantic Parsing-Based Knowledge Base Question Answering

SALR is proposed, a schema-anchored latent reasoning method for LF construction that performs multi-step reasoning by generating continuous thoughts in the model's hidden states, thereby delaying the explicit commitment to LF decisions.

The Public Discourse Corpus (PDC): A Speaker-Attributed Dataset for Valence and Epistemic Modality with Target Speaker Participation

We introduce the \textbf{Public Discourse Corpus (PDC)}, the first dataset of public-figure interview speech jointly annotated for affective valence and epistemic modality. The corpus contains 998 videos from 100 speakers across seven professional domains, yielding 186,642 sentences (3.1 million words) after sentence s...

Before the Warning Comes Too Late: Incremental Phone-Scam Detection from Speech

StreamFraudNet is introduced, which processes incoming audio through overlapping bounded-context windows using a frozen self-supervised speech encoder, recurrent temporal modeling, and learned aggregation of latent window scores to demonstrate that fraud risk can be scored incrementally from raw speech without transcri...

Foundations of Stochastic Lexical Calculus: Semantic Descent and Random Dynamics on Probability Simplices

Large language models produce prompt-dependent probabilities over words, whereas scientific systems require uncertainty over meaningful states that can be updated as evidence arrives. We develop an observable framework for determining when language-derived probabilities support such a sequential state representation. T...

To Copy or Not to Copy: Controlling Speculative Decoding via Intrinsic Model Signals

SwitchSD is introduced, an adaptive framework that treats copying as a latent control signal of the LLM that allows the system to dynamically switch between neural drafting and context-based copying, effectively turning copying from a noisy heuristic into a principled, model-aware decoding regime.

Fine-Tuning Models for Biomedical Relation Extraction

This paper presents pre-trained models (PTMs) for the automatic extraction of relations from biomedical text, specifically targeting the variant-phenotype domain and demonstrates that fine-tuning small BERT-based models, particularly DeBERTa, yields strong performance, approaching the current state-of-the-art (SOTA).

Design of the IBM Granite 5.0 TurboCTC ASR Model

The architecture, training methodology and inference speedups of Granite 5.0 Turbo CTC result in a model that is on the speed-accuracy Pareto frontier of the Open ASR leaderboard for English short-form ASR while being twice as fast as the fastest competitor.

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.
