"Blind Compliance": Coercive Control in AI Jailbreaking

The explosion of generative AI systems and concerns surrounding their rapidly scaling capabilities has led to an adversarial cycle between increasingly narrow content restrictions ("guardrails") and increasingly sophisticated structured prompting techniques ("jailbreaks"). Technological frameworks surrounding such jail...

Automatic keyphrase extraction and annotation: modern theoretical approaches and practical solutions for text and speech

The exponential growth of textual and audiovisual information has made the task of automatic keyphrase extraction (KE) increasingly significant. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of contemporary theoretical approaches and practical solutions for KE across both text and speech modalities. The primary contri...

ReviewMap: Mapping Evaluative Acts and Automation Boundaries in Peer-Review Comments

Peer-review comments check what a paper does and judge why it matters, but no existing scheme distinguishes these two evaluative acts. We argue that making these acts explicit and measuring how reliably LLMs identify them is a prerequisite for responsible LLM-assisted review analysis: humans need to inspect review judg...

Automated Feedback to Peer Tutors Increases Their Talk Moves and Learner Reasoning but Not the Balance of Talk

A randomized controlled trial across two four-week SAT mathematics bootcamps on the Schoolhouse.world platform, involving 1,030 volunteer tutors, 7,443 learners and 6,508 recorded sessions, finds that automated feedback can change how tutors invite learner thinking, but shifting how much learners talk likely requires c...

The Scope Grammar of Natural-Language Rules: Counting and Enumerating Readings modulo Logical Equivalence

A rule written for people fixes its atomic conditions and connectives but leaves open how the connectives are bracketed, and each bracketing is a different logical reading that an autoformalizer must resolve or expose. We study the scope grammar, a deliberately ambiguous context-free grammar whose derivation trees are...

LITMUS: Benchmarking Behavioral Jailbreaks of LLM Agents in Real OS Environments

LLM-agents In-OS Testing for Measuring Unsafe Subversion is presented, a benchmark addressing both gaps via a semantic-physical dual verification mechanism and OS-level state rollback and providing the first standardized platform for reproducible, physically grounded behavioral safety evaluation of LLM agents in real O...

KL for a KL: On-Policy Distillation with Control Variate Baseline

On-Policy Distillation (OPD) has emerged as a dominant post-training paradigm for Large Language Models, especially in reasoning domains. However, OPD remains unstable in practice due to the high gradient variance of its single-sample Monte Carlo estimator, and recipes for stable training are still immature. We propose...

From Outcome to Representation: Tracing Reasoning Mechanisms through Integrated Policy Gradient

Integrated Policy Gradient is introduced, a novel, training-free framework that brings policy-based attribution into mechanistic interpretability for LLM reasoning and enables modulation of reasoning capabilities, offering a powerful and reliable framework for understanding LLM reasoning.

DUP: Detection-guided Unlearning for Backdoor Purification in Language Models

As backdoor attacks become more stealthy and robust, they reveal critical weaknesses in current defense strategies: detection methods often rely on coarse-grained feature statistics, and purification methods typically require full retraining or additional clean models. To address these challenges, we propose DUP (Detec...

Domain-Adaptive Small Language Models for Structured Tax Code Prediction

A domain-adaptive small language model (SLM) with an encoder-decoder architecture for the enhanced prediction of product and service tax codes and demonstrates the superior performance of the domain-adaptive encoder-decoder SLMs over flat classifiers when applied to the Harmonized System of Nomenclature.

Breaking Bad Molecules: Are MLLMs Ready for Structure-Level Molecular Detoxification?

Toxicity remains a leading cause of early-stage drug development failure. Despite advances in molecular design and property prediction, the task of molecular toxicity repair, generating structurally valid molecular alternatives with reduced toxicity, has not yet been systematically defined or benchmarked. To fill this...

Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar

Zero-knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum-resistant security. The post Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar appeared first on Microsoft Research.
