Recent AI systems have achieved strong results on a wide range of benchmarks, yet these gains have not translated into economically meaningful deployment across many professional domains. We argue that this gap is largely an evaluation problem: widely used benchmarks lack sustained performance measurement on real and e...

Modeling ultra-long user sequences involves a difficult trade-off between efficiency and effectiveness. While current paradigms rely on either item-specific search or item-agnostic compression, we propose UxSID, a framework exploring a third path: semantic-group shared interest memory. By utilizing Semantic IDs (SIDs)...

We introduce FactoryBench, a benchmark for evaluating time-series models and LLMs on machine understanding over industrial robotic telemetry. Q&A pairs are organized along four causal levels (state, intervention, counterfactual, decision) instantiating Pearl's ladder of causation, and span five answer formats: four str...

Interpreting machine learning model predictions is a central challenge, particularly for black-box vision models. Concept-based attribution methods interpret models using human-understandable concepts. Existing concept-based methods can only interpret classification and regression models. They require access to model w...

While deep learning models for tabular data have recently received significant research attention, the choice of objective functions for regression tasks remains an understudied degree of freedom. Several lines of research offer alternatives to the standard Mean Squared Error (MSE), but differences in datasets, backbon...

Production recommender systems have feature-lifecycle asymmetry: adding new features must produce gains on some metric, while feature removal must not regress any metric. In practice, feature deprecation is hard to prioritize as a feature can fail to be removed if it interacts with other features, its importance change...

Discrete graph diffusion models (GDMs) corrupt the graph structure by adding noise independently to nodes and edges under a Markovian noise model. In the unconditional setting without node features, an equivariant denoiser trained on a single graph is able to generate novel graphs and sample-level metrics such as edge...
State-space models (SSMs) maintain a fixed-size recurrent state, but reading and writing it at every decoding step can bottleneck hybrid models. This eager state management causes large state I/O with low arithmetic intensity, leaves speculative decoding no cheap rollback, and feeds state quantization error into subseq...

Low-bit inference on accelerators with native 4-bit support requires quantizing both weights and activations to realize the full throughput gains these formats provide. While post-training weight quantization has been extensively studied, activation quantization remains considerably more challenging and typically requi...
Discrete graph diffusion models corrupt graph structure through independent edge updates with a Markovian noise model. Combined with the exchangeability requirement on the output distribution, the terminal prior is necessarily an Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi (E-R) random graph. This has a fundamental consequence for unconditiona...

Training long-horizon language model agents requires assigning credit to intermediate decisions from sparse terminal feedback. Within a finite group of sibling rollouts, useful action comparisons depend on their context, evidence for both alternatives, and how that evidence enters learning. We propose Matched-Context G...

Cooperative multi-agent tasks often impose constraints on a shared objective or collective safety. A team level violation cost function can measure this constraint outcome, but does not distinguish which agents'actions most strongly influence that violation. We present SafeDiSTL, a constrained multi-agent reinforcement...
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.
