It is shown that the prompting methodology is as important as the model architecture: while the instruction-tuned model version achieves 0.5681 with its chat interface, the base model achieves 0.6836 when prompted using text completion, which decreases factual recall.
Agentic AI extends large language models (LLMs) from generating responses to planning and executing complex workflows, substantially expanding their utility while exposing applications to unsafe actions, information leakage, and adversarial manipulation. Multi-agent systems further expand these capabilities through spe...

It is shown that emojis used in tightly clustered topical contexts also exhibit more polarised crowd-sourced sentiment, not less, and that topical coherence and affective dispersion are distinct dimensions of emoji meaning.

Temporal Evidence-Parameter Co-Alignment (TEPCA), a framework for LLM reasoning over TKGs that aligns LLM reasoning with temporal knowledge at both the evidence and parameter levels, and enables LLMs to better capture fine-grained entity evolution and time-dependent relation semantics while preserving parameter efficie...

Large Language Models (LLMs) depend fundamentally on the diversity, depth, and factual rigor of their pre-training corpora. However, contemporary foundational pre-training datasets (such as The Pile, S2ORC, and Dolma) exhibit a severe structural omission: African scientific, medical, legal, and agricultural scholarship...
It is suggested that the evaluated LLMs respond to surface cues rather than to the mechanisms that make a passage manipulative, which would suggest that the evaluated LLMs respond to surface cues rather than to the mechanisms that make a passage manipulative.
Multilingual evaluations often score a model's opening yes or no, a token that also carries model and language answering conventions. We ask when different ways of eliciting and reading an answer recover the same judgment, and when they measure an answer habit. We collect 1.1 million replies from eight models in six la...
A diagnostic study finds that stronger teacher--student agreement in intermediate transitions is associated with higher answer correctness within questions, with correct responses exhibiting lower mean transition KL across all measured intermediate layer pairs.

It is found that polarity blindness affects most evaluated models, and the effect persists across typologically differing negation systems, suggesting that polarity blindness reflects a broader limitation in semantic robustness rather than a language- or grammar-specific failure.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used as research collaborators for hypothesis refinement, methodological planning, and technical analysis across multi-turn interactions. In this setting, a useful assistant must be accurate, methodologically justified, logically consistent, and token-efficient. Current ali...

Word error rate (WER) assigns equal cost to lexical edits despite their different semantic consequences, while overall semantic scores cannot identify which individual errors alter the intended meaning. We formulate ASR semantic evaluation as context-aware, segment-level consequence assessment and propose Semantic Segm...

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as judgment assistants and as stand-in participants in psychology experiments, yet little is known about how much their probability estimates move in response to a single new piece of information. We pair premise-hypothesis items from $\delta$-SNLI with one strengthene...
Flint-interactive gives AI agents a language for creating interactive visualizations. Click a chart, filter data, highlight related content, and explore beyond the view the author originally chose. The post Flint-interactive: A language for creating interactive data visualizations appeared first on Microsoft Research.
A new computational approach reveals how cells communicate to assemble into tissues. This could accelerate stem cell engineering, improve disease models, and inform therapies.

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.
