With ever increasing personalized large language model (LLM) services, the next question to answer is how to improve the quality of services/users' experiences, which is indicated by personalized LLM generation accuracy/quality and inference latency. Although state-of-the-art designs, e.g., parameter-efficient fine-tun...

In multi-group learning, a single predictor must perform nearly as well as the best hypothesis in a class on every group in a rich, possibly infinite and overlapping, collection of subpopulations. The known algorithms with the optimal sample complexity keep track of every pair of a group and a hypothesis, which is impo...
Elastic buckling remains a critical concern in the design of deep spherical shell caps, given that experiments reveal a significant reduction of critical loads from those predicted by linearized eigen-buckling analysis. This discrepancy has been attributed to initial geometric imperfections and is often reconciled thro...

DiffusionNFT (NFT) fine-tunes diffusion models toward task-specific rewards, but optimizing these rewards does not guarantee fidelity to the full prompt. Although classifier-free guidance (CFG) strengthens prompt alignment, NFT is formulated as a CFG-free method, and applying CFG to the fine-tuned velocity field can re...

Sparse autoencoder (SAE) features are typically discovered from how their activations co-vary with behaviour, yet they are often used through interventions such as steering or ablation. We take intervention attribution, the first-order effect of a specified intervention on the model output, as our estimand. For a broad...
Small Adam-trained shared-representation networks can reach equivalent selected mean readout measurements yet respond differently to the same further learning. We use state interventions to separate second-moment scale and coordinate-pattern effects, then examine their formation and time dependence. In the central two-...
Hard-margin SVM training is the distance problem between two convex hulls, which the Triangle Algorithm (TA) solves with a certified duality gap. We propose \emph{guarded block transfers}: $k$ Mitchell--Demyanov--Malozemov (MDM) transfers per scan are aggregated into one exact line search, guarded by a comparison with...
Modern cloud platforms generate high-dimensional, noisy telemetry from thousands of microservices. Unlike classical anomaly detection benchmarks, cloud anomalies are short-lived, irregular, and largely non-periodic, making timely detection challenging. We present an empirical benchmark of deep learning models for anoma...
Real-world datasets often exhibit severe class imbalance, degrading the performance of deep learning models, particularly on rare classes. While imbalance is well studied in binary and multiclass settings, it is substantially more challenging in multilabel problems due to complex label co-occurrence. In clinical applic...

Training-free pruning removes weights from pretrained large language models to reduce their deployment cost. However, existing approaches typically consider only the total number of retained weights. Consequently, their pruning decisions do not account for how target hardware stores and processes those weights. These m...

When a policy is trained with GRPO against a frozen, reference-free LLM judge, the judge accepts more of its answers, but in a post-hoc analysis we detect no gain in held-out greedy accuracy: in all 12 (policy, judge) cells, the seed-mean gain never exceeded 0.04. A gold-reward control with the same recipe raised the 1...
Temporal graph neural networks (TGNNs) achieve superior performance in many dynamic graph learning tasks. These models use node state vectors (i.e., memories) to capture and record graph changes (i.e., events), and then exploit these memories to assist prediction. However, this memory-centric design makes multi-GPU tra...

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.
