Diffusion language models (DLMs) enable flexible parallel generation by resolving tokens according to the model's evolving predictability rather than a fixed left-to-right order. This flexibility, however, introduces training choices absent from standard autoregressive teacher forcing: which reference tokens are visibl...

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) are promising for energy-efficient neuromorphic computing, but they still suffer from catastrophic forgetting when learning tasks sequentially. This work investigates the integration of Experience Packing and Replay (EPR) as a memory-efficient continual learning strategy for deep SNNs und...

Long-context inference makes the key-value (KV) cache a major memory bottleneck for large language models. We propose BELT, a low-rank KV cache compression framework. Its key-side objective targets attention distributions rather than raw keys or pre-softmax logits, yielding a quadratic surrogate with a closed-form low-...

Brick-and-mortar retailers face many different challenges that involve understanding thoroughly its products catalog and customer preferences. In particular, assortment optimization - proposing the ideal mix of products - and promotion planning hold a pivotal role in their strategy. By leveraging sales data, retailers...

Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) have attracted increasing research attention due to their bidirectional attention and arbitrary order decoding. However, there are two issues in dLLMs inference: the decoding difficulty is dominated by the tokens on the right side of the block, and the block-wise decoding inheren...

Sparse autoencoders decompose language model representations into interpretable features, but feature interpretation in this literature remains predominantly correlational. Attribution methods offer more direct estimates of feature influence, yet their faithfulness to actual causal effects has not been systematically e...
Coding agents are tasked with producing sophisticated interactive applications such as websites, desktop applications, and games. While humans assess these applications interactively, current automated LLM evaluations primarily focus on code analysis and unit tests. This mismatch can cause LLM judges to miss failures t...

This work introduces RT-J, an 86M-parameter relational foundation model (RFM) that makes accurate predictions even with hundreds of in-context examples or fewer, and highlights the importance of real-world semantics, context engineering and large-scale pretraining for RFMs.
Long-term time series forecasting requires learning temporal dependencies that remain stable and generalizable under temporal distribution shifts. However, real-world time series are often noisy, non-stationary, and heterogeneous, making deep learning models prone to overfitting incidental temporal interactions in the...

Time-series analysis is increasingly studied in multimodal settings, yet most benchmarks pair temporal signals with text or with visualizations derived from the same signal. This leaves open whether multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can integrate time series with real-world visual evidence. We introduce MMTA (mu...

Evaluating fashion retrieval systems remains challenging due to the limited availability of benchmarks that capture the fine-grained, open-ended queries encountered in real-world search and recommendation. Existing benchmarks often rely on manual curation, predefined taxonomies, or synthetic prompts, limiting scalabili...

This tutorial addresses the problem of explaining what data re-uploading adds to an amplitude-embedded model and how large the gain is and expresses sequential re-uploading and parallel re-uploading with two copies in one notation and shows that each upload raises the reachable polynomial order by two.
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.
