Lens is a training-free framework that makes representation readout task-directed, and achieves an overall Precision@1 of 63.9 across all 36 MMEB datasets, outperforming the closest same-backbone training-free embedding baseline by 10.2 points.

This work proposes MATCH, a closed-loop framework for model-aware tool learning with curriculum scheduling and hierarchically gated rewards, and shows consistent improvements across four backbones from two model families.

A discriminative adaptation that reads the final prompt token's hidden state through a classification head, producing a label in one forward pass without modifying the backbone, gives a controlled comparison of generative and discriminative inference in an otherwise identical speechLLM.
This position paper argues that AI-assisted deliberation offers a more promising path by lowering barriers to meaningful engagement without substituting machine judgment for human choice.

Retrieval assembles repository context by ranking passages for relevance to the current query. A coding agent halfway through an issue has already read much of what such a ranker returns. Relevance is scored per passage, but sufficiency belongs to the set: independently scored passages can fill the budget with support...

Zarya is introduced, a family of hybrid language models that jointly optimizes an autoregressive (AR) objective and a masked-diffusion objective within a single architecture, demonstrating performance on standard benchmarks while offering a principled integration of autoregressive and diffusion paradigms.

This work evaluates three evolutionary search strategies on five optimization tasks, commonly used by papers in the genre to report results, and suggests that the best way to split a fixed budget between more seeds and more iterations changes with the strategy, the task, and the total budget.

This work proposes Abstract Token Curriculum (ATC), a novel curriculum learning framework that elicits effective continuous intermediate representations without direct supervision or manual scratchpad design and shows ATC's effectiveness on graph reachability and arithmetic learning tasks.

This work distinguishes itself from prior work by addressing the novel problem of business semantic layer induction from raw telemetry, operating without labeled training data or manual rule engineering.
Data attribution methods using gradient similarity are widely used to analyze and select training data for large language models, but what gradient similarity actually measures is debated. Some interpret it as identifying task-relevant skills, while other work reports that surface form is the main factor. We resolve th...

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.
