In RAG We Trust? Measuring Robustness of Retrieval-Augmented Generation Under Document Poisoning

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) grounds a language model in retrieved documents, which reduces hallucination but creates a new attack surface: if retrieved text is tampered with, the model may repeat the falsehood. We study how much a small quantized model, Llama 3.1 8B, degrades when a fraction of its retrieved c...

Tact: A Zero-Cost, Browser-Based Pipeline for On-Demand Tactile Braille Storybooks

Braille literacy among blind school-age children fell from roughly 50 percent in 1960 to under 10 percent today, and the decline is a content problem, not a technology problem: producing one illustrated Braille page still requires specialized software and trained labor, so almost nothing in the existing catalog is pers...

Can Edge-Deployable Vision-Language Models Identify Species?

It is tested whether models in this deployment-relevant 2--8B range carry genuine taxonomic knowledge, evaluating four such VLMs against the domain-specific specialist BioCLIP on a 96-species task, and comparing clean iNaturalist photographs against camera-trap imagery from 6 LILA.

Arterial Spin Labeling Hemodynamic Indices Relate to Cognitive and Small Vessel Disease Trajectories Over 11 Years

ASL-sCoV may serve as an important hemodynamic measure for identifying perfusion deficits tied to SVD burden and progression and could provide substantial insight into the longitudinal clinical consequences of SVD.

Off-Target Effects of Response-Style Alignment in a Korean 27B Language Model

We post-train Qwen3.8-27B for Korean response style -- verbosity, list and markdown usage, discourse structure and register -- and measure two behaviours the objective never targets: abstention on ambiguous social questions in KoBBQ, where the benchmark-correct answer is UNKNOWN, and unprompted disclosure in securities...

Picking is Not Ranking, and Explanation Quality Has Many Dimensions: Lessons for Conversational Music Recommendation

This work presents team FPMs_UMONS’s system for RecSys Challenge 2026 — hybrid four-channel retrieval, LLM reranking, and conversation-grounded response generation — and the lessons, negative results included, learned building it.

Generative AI versus Neurosurgeon in the Management of Head Injury Patients

Abstract Introduction Generative AI models are large language models capable of interacting with humans in a man–machine interface. Endowed with extensive training on an expansive corpus of textual data, these GPTs excel across diverse domains, notably in the realms of medicine and healthcare. Generative AIs like ChatG...

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.
