The joint reconstruction of the initial pressure and spatially varying sound speed in photoacoustic tomography from boundary measurements is considered. A regularized data-driven framework is proposed in which the unknown fields are represented in finite-dimensional wavelet spaces and fixed nonlinear features generated...
Machine learning with limited data is susceptible to overfitting, especially with modern deep neural networks. Prior to the introduction of AlexNet, reconstruction-based pretraining with auto-encoder and denoising auto-encoder were found to be beneficial, partially due to the limited size of the training sets at the ti...

We introduce DeDiCa, a practical framework for efficient causal inference with discrete variables and hidden confounding that revisits classical probabilistic modeling through a tensorized parameterization of causal Bayesian networks, enabling tractable inference. Given a causal graph, DeDiCa is trained once on observa...

LLM-agent memory selection often uses retrieval rankings based on record relevance or individual influence. Such rankings cannot identify sufficient subsets under redundant or jointly necessary evidence. We study per-decision memory sufficiency: selecting a small subset that preserves full-memory behavior. To separate...

Discrete structural tokenization provides a promising route to autoregressive 3D molecular generation. Yet, existing tokenizers face a trade-off between compact representation and all-atom reconstruction: atom-level tokens preserve atomic details but produce long sequences, while compact residue-level protein tokens ty...

A common way to make language models and agents more accurate is to spend more compute at inference time: generate many candidate solutions and submit the one a verifier prefers. Success then requires that some candidate is correct and that the verifier picks it. The first grows predictably with the number of samples;...
FLARE (Feeder-Level Agent Restoration Evaluation), a physics-grounded benchmark for post-isolation feeder restoration, is introduced and enables reproducible evaluation of language-model based restoration support while emphasizing the need for external safety checks.
Small differences between internal representations can shrink or grow as they pass through a Transformer layer, affecting how information is preserved and how sensitive the model is to perturbations. Yet it remains unclear when changes in attention weights can turn a representation difference that would otherwise shrin...
RIVET jointly trains two value estimators over a shared state-model representation: a deployable Routing Value Estimator that scores candidate models from pre-call information, and a training-only Response-Informed Value Estimator that additionally observes the realized response.

BayesianPRM is proposed, which treats the process reward as a random variable within a reward hypothesis space and maintains a Bayesian belief over it, and yields a reliability- and conservatism-aware Bayesian belief, whose expectation determines the process reward.

Stochastic optimization (SO) plays a central role in decision-making under uncertainty. Among SO problems, time-varying stochastic optimization (TV-SO) is particularly important due to its applications in adaptive control and machine learning. Non-parametric approaches have been proposed for time-varying deterministic...

Neural combinatorial optimization (NCO) rapidly produces high-quality solutions for problem structures encountered during training, but operational requirements may change after deployment and be communicated in natural language. We propose LangNCO, a framework that compiles instance-specific requirements into structur...
A machine-learning approach called CheMeleon provides a practical way to develop new drugs or other molecules with much less detailed, expensive experimentation.
Research Manager Mike Walker reflects on a career spanning hacker culture, cybersecurity, and AI, sharing lessons about trust, teamwork, leadership, and why solving difficult problems requires curiosity, judgment, agility—and an understanding of the rules. The post Learn the rules: The hacker mindset appeared first on Microsoft Research.
