Robust learning methods such as distributionally robust optimization, vicinal risk minimization, Mixup, and label smoothing address different sources of uncertainty, including distribution shift, finite-sample effects, and label uncertainty. In practice, however, several such sources may occur simultaneously, and it re...

KV cache growth is a major bottleneck for long-context inference in large language models. Existing methods are often dominated by binary eviction or representation approximation, which may underutilize tokens that are not critical for exact retention but are still reconstructable. We present VECTOR, a plug-and-play au...

Brain activity unfolds as coordinated patterns across regions over time, and modeling these dynamics is a central goal in computational neuroscience. Because activity is distributed over connected brain regions, it is naturally represented on a graph whose nodes are brain regions or recording electrodes and whose edges...

Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) are powerful surrogates for differential equations but are notoriously difficult to train due to spectral bias, stiffness, and poor accuracy on high-frequency or multiscale solutions. Adversarial training based on generative adversarial networks (GANs) has recently gained surpri...

Njord, a probabilistic data-driven model for ocean forecasting, applicable to both global and regional domains, is introduced, combining a deep latent variable framework with a graph neural network architecture, enabling sampling each forecast step in a single forward pass.

Large language models (LLMs) are trained for downstream tasks by updating their parameters (e.g., via RL). However, updating model parameters forces them to absorb task-specific information, which can result in catastrophic forgetting and loss of plasticity. In contrast, in-context learning with fixed LLM parameters ca...

This work investigates multi-objective imitation learning: the problem of recovering policies that lie on the Pareto front given demonstrations from multiple Pareto-optimal experts in a Multi-Objective Markov Decision Process (MOMDP). Standard imitation approaches are ill-equipped for this regime, as naively aggregatin...

Diffusion Language Models (dLLMs) have garnered significant attention for their potential in highly parallel processing. The parallel capabilities of existing dLLMs stem from the assumption of conditional independence at high confidence levels, which ensures negligible discrepancy between the marginal and joint distrib...

Generative modelling is a demanding test of foundation models, because it requires robust, holistic representation learning for a given data modality, rather than optimisation for a supervised prediction target alone. While recent work on tabular foundation models has achieved remarkable progress in predictive modellin...

Expressive generative policies such as diffusion and flow models are appealing for maximum-entropy (MaxEnt) online reinforcement learning because of their ability to model multimodal and highly non-Gaussian action distributions. However, training effective soft generative policies faces two obstacles that often arise t...
Online reinforcement learning (RL) relies on the Markov property for guaranteed performance, but real-world applications often lack well-defined states given raw observed variables. While causal RL has attracted growing interest, existing work typically assumes Markovian states are provided and uses causality only to a...
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.
