Along the way, an implementation bug in the own AKS baseline and a 0.74 point gap between two harnesses running the same published rules at the same budget show why these comparisons need to happen inside one controlled harness rather than across papers.
No post-training method achieves all three properties the authors would want from safe alignment at once: refusal that isn't concentrated in a few fragile components, safety gains that don't cost general capability, and safety behavior correctable through small, targeted edits.

This work introduces FrameBench, a benchmark grounded in frame semantics that test whether models distinguish the frames evoked by the same verb across contexts, and constructs the benchmark for English and Japanese using FrameNet-style resources and a generation-and-verification pipeline with native-speaker judgments.
An end-to-end sequence-to-sequence formulation and fine-tune mT5-small and mBART-50 on a synthetic corpus of up to 657,720 noisy-clean Tamil sentence pairs spanning ten error categories, showing that a Tamil-adapted instruction model does not transfer to specialised sentence-level correction without task-specific super...

It is found that models generally learn more reliably from rules than from examples alone, and additional examples on top of rules or simply scaling up the number of examples do not lead to consistent and significant gains.

This work proposes Adaptive Local Relational Alignment (ALRA), a position-specific framework combining student proposals with teacher guidance, which replaces the teacher-mass coefficients of the two conditional terms with unit coefficients, preventing either term from being downweighted solely because its region has l...

RecurTrace introduces Loop Memory Attention, which lets each looped layer attend to its own states from previous iterations along the loop-time axis, so the model can revisit earlier computations instead of relying on the latest state alone.

It is found that the largest public Armenian corpora overlap web-derived evaluation panels heavily, including a train/test self-overlap inside FineWeb-2.0, and that a small share of verified translated STEM data reverses the loss.

Many recurring text functions are easy to describe but difficult to implement with rules, while calling a large remote model for every input introduces repeated cost, latency, and dependency on a provider. We present compile by training, which turns a natural-language specification into a reusable neural function. At c...

Gaps remain in our understanding of how large language models (LLMs) acquire knowledge during pre-training. We posit that auxiliary views, reformulations of knowledge, are causally helpful for learning. We design controlled experiments to isolate this. First, we confirm that repetition is necessary for acquisition and...

Two restart-controlled truncation probes separate when a solution fits the continuation budget from when a prefix carries value that fresh computation cannot buy, and a pre-registered, difficulty-controlled test finds no detectable outcome information in early-window internal signals beyond a problem-difficulty baselin...
This study evaluates the effectiveness of large language models for CKD screening under zero-shot and few-shot in-context learning settings and compares them with traditional ML and DL methods and proposes a framework that uses clinically selected tabular features and structured prompt templates to enable LLM-based inf...
A new computational approach reveals how cells communicate to assemble into tissues. This could accelerate stem cell engineering, improve disease models, and inform therapies.

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.
