Experimental results demonstrate that BridgeCodec achieves superior wideband reconstruction and high perceptual quality, successfully bridging heavily bottlenecked, heterogeneous codecs.

How do we tell a world model what information to preserve? We study this question through the lens of spectral representation learning. We introduce SpecWM, a JEPA framework that explicitly specifies desired relationships between observations through a target similarity kernel and trains the encoder to reproduce those...

Context-based offline meta-reinforcement learning (COMRL) has advanced almost entirely through better task representations, which separate task identity from artifacts of the behavior policy so that the latent reflects the task alone. The implicit expectation has been that a clean representation will transfer to out-of...

Before an agent acts, it must decide whether action is warranted. A single accuracy cannot distinguish failure to recognize a warranted action from reluctance to act. Signal-detection theory separates sensitivity from criterion, but criteria estimated from authored binary labels depend on each benchmark's example mix....

Compressing the key-value (KV) cache is essential for serving long-context large language models (LLMs) under memory constraints. While current scalar quantization methods achieve significant compression, they typically face a quality-fidelity trade-off, either suffering from performance instability at 2-bit precision...

Deep classifiers deployed in safety-critical services like autonomous-driving perception remain vulnerable to small adversarial perturbations. Certified $\ell_2$ defenses today face a costly trade-off: randomized smoothing (RS) requires hundreds of noisy queries per input, while Lipschitz networks (LN) constrain the ar...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis remains challenging due to heterogeneous symptoms and reliance on clinical assessment, underscoring the need for objective, data-driven approaches that leverage patient-generated physiological signals. We propose Siam-ALS, an explainable Siamese deep learning framework that...

High-quality coding problems are expensive to collect. Benchmarks such as SWE-bench rely on substantial human curation, while synthetic alternatives typically rely on costly model generation and validation. In this work, we show that new coding problems can be created at almost no cost by composing existing ones. We fo...

Influence functions enable principled data selection for large language models (e.g., identifying influential training samples for model editing, debugging, or efficient fine-tuning). However, scaling IFs to LLMs is hindered by the intractability of billion-scale Hessian matrices and the prohibitive memory overhead of...

We introduce Anchor-and-Harvest Curriculum (AHC), a domain-informed, rule-based training system for Craftax-Full. AHC combines achievement-oriented tasks, harvested initial-state progress, difficulty adaptation, bounded selection, and original-task practice. It uses no LLM inference and keeps all 43 actions available....

A deception detector is only as useful as the trust its alarms deserve. Like a polygraph, detectors that read a language model's internal activations can catch deceptive responses that look honest. Yet current detectors depend on which layers they read, weaken on broader tests, and do not state how certain their alarms...
Misclassification is a critical problem in many machine learning applications. Since even the classifier models with high accuracy (e.g., > 95%) still introduce some misclassification error, it may not be possible to rely on the output of a classifier. In this paper, we introduce trustable learning, which prompts the l...
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.
