Multi-Head Latent Attention (MLA) compresses the KV cache into a latent representation, reducing inference memory and bandwidth. Existing MHA2MLA/TransMLA methods do not support QKNorm and require costly recovery on modern LLMs, especially MoE. We present MLAfication, a QKNorm-compatible, parameter-efficient extension...
Geographic coordinates are common inputs in applied machine learning, but latitude and longitude describe position rather than the surrounding environment. Image-grounded location encoders learn this context from satellite or ground-level imagery; structured open map data offers another source of supervision whose util...
Floor plan datasets underpin computational analysis of building layouts, spatial connectivity and graph machine learning. However, publicly available datasets often require substantial preprocessing before they can be used reliably. We present ModRes, a cleaned and enriched version of the ResPlan dataset, containing 8,...

Decision models such as Jev score candidate answers or actions. A small decision head trained label-free can recover about 99% of a frozen language model's multiple-choice accuracy while using only two-thirds of its transformer layers. It learns the full model's answer probabilities with KL divergence, without correct-...

OpenDGO is presented, a controlled benchmark and analysis framework covering six real-world domains and three collaboration settings: Sequential Dependency, Parallel Decomposition, and Information Integration, showing that there is no ``one-organization-for-all''solution.

Attention-based multiple instance learning (MIL) pools a variable-size bag of instance embeddings into one vector. In batched training, bags are padded to a common length, and the pooled output is expected not to depend on how much padding was added or on the order in which instances are stored. This expectation holds...
Recent frameworks in differential privacy (DP), such as privacy loss distributions and $f$-DP, provide lossless representations of the privacy leakage of mechanisms. These approaches are often considered to yield tighter $(\varepsilon, \delta)$-DP guarantees than those obtained from relaxed notions such as R\'enyi DP....
Because household travel surveys combine household characteristics, variable-length person rosters, vehicle rosters, and trip chains, existing synthesis pipelines split them across separate models or flatten them into cropped fixed-length vectors. Representation, rather than modeling, becomes the bottleneck: splitting...

In-Context Learning (ICL) has received a lot of interest recently due to its ability to improve classification accuracy for new tasks without having to fine-tune the model over these tasks. However, the impact of ICL on calibration has been far less studied. Recent work has shown that ICL can have a negative impact on...
We propose a nonparametric approach that fuses deterministic initial forecasts and a partial realization into a probabilistic forecast using the framework of functional curve completion. Our motivation is to construct intra-day forecasts for renewable energy generation, which is a key operational task in modern power g...

Real-world tables are often heterogeneous, combining numerical features with free-form string columns. Table foundation models (TFMs) excel on numerical tables but require strings to be encoded numerically, while large language models (LLMs) hold semantic knowledge but are not designed for tabular predictions. Most exi...

Standard procedure in machine learning is to randomly split train and test data, emulating IID draws from one underlying data distribution. In practice, models are trained on past data and deployed in the future, which may come from distinct distributions. In this paper, we find that web text is indeed highly non-stati...

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.
