State-of-the-art beat tracking is based on neural networks that model beats and downbeats as individual events, often followed by a separate Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN) enforcing musical consistency. We propose a novel architecture that combines deep learning with differentiable theory-based modules: Specifically, w...

Enterprise AI agents can execute altered versions of approved actions, concurrently reuse the same permission, or retry operations whose responses were lost. These failures arise when approval and resource execution lack a shared contract. KedgeFlow specifies language-independent contracts for trusted controllers to au...
Human-in-the-loop optimization refers to systems that present choices to a human decision-maker and query their judgment to optimize system parameters iteratively. The user interface typically provides either an absolute rating scale or asks for a preferred option. However, these approaches can potentially suffer from...

Embedding models underpin modern job-candidate matching: resumes, job descriptions, and queries are encoded as dense vectors, and recommendations come from nearest-neighbor retrieval over that space. Any social bias in the embeddings therefore feeds directly into HR recommendations. We audit six multilingual sentence-e...

Large Language Model (LLM) inference is driving a growing share of datacenter carbon emissions. Although carbon-aware scheduling can reduce these emissions in geo-distributed datacenters by exploiting the spatiotemporal variations in grid carbon intensity, the latency-sensitive nature of LLM serving constrains this des...

This paper develops strong Gaussian approximations (KMT type) for constant learning rate stochastic gradient descent (SGD). We work with heavy tailed noise and assume that the number of iterates grows and the learning rate shrinks simultaneously. Our work constructs simple Gaussian processes on the same space and bound...
Model-based reinforcement learning has shown superior sample efficiency by leveraging the learned latent dynamics either in the form of derivative-free planning/imagined rollout training or dynamics gradient-based policy updates. While these approaches achieve comparatively fast learning, they all suffer, to varying de...
Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation is indispensable for modeling beam dynamics in particle accelerators, but its computational cost limits many-query workflows, such as configuration exploration, virtual diagnostics, and controller design. We introduce GLOBE, a physics-constrained Generative Latent Operator for Beam Evo...

Determinantal point processes (DPPs) provide tractable distributions for nite random sets, but the usual symmetric-kernel specication imposes nonpositive pairwise dependence. Statistical research on nonsymmetric DPPs, which can accommodate positive dependence, remains limited. We study identication and estimation for t...
Robotic platforms combine multi-modal sensors to operate across diverse conditions, but most dense correspondence methods are limited to RGB-RGB or a small set of modality pairs. Training a model for each modality pair scales poorly with the number of sensors and forgoes potential positive transfer across modality pair...

As watermarking of LLM-generated text enters deployment, users increasingly need to check text whose source is unknown. Existing detectors read the watermark through a specific tokenizer or embedding pipeline, and even if all providers adopted the same watermarking method, differences in these representations would lea...
This work derives data mixing scaling laws for three modalities: text, vision, and audio from Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures, and provides a principled foundation for understanding the multimodal data mixtures needed to train frontier MLLMs.

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.
