GLOBE: Evolving Structured Agentic Memory for E-commerce Product Optimization in Generative Search

Experiments show that structured behaviors outperform monolithic prompt optimization, while feedback-driven evolution and moderation further improve effectiveness and reduce downside risk, suggesting that agentic memory evolution supports interpretable and transferable product optimization.

VISTA: Steering LLMs with Latent User Values Inferred from a Few Survey Answers

Personalizing a language model requires knowing what a person values, which stays largely consistent across tasks. Yet most methods either learn task-specific preferences or place the user's profile in the prompt, where models struggle to act on it. We introduce VISTA (Value-Informed Steering and Targeted Acquisition),...

SIT-Eval: Situation-Based Interactive Turn-by-Turn Evaluation of Conversational Agents

The rapid proliferation of conversational AI agents necessitates evaluation methods that assess performance across diverse dialogue scenarios, utilizing multiple situational criteria, as appropriate behavior depends on context and encompasses various aspects. Existing dialogue benchmarks typically use static natural co...

Analyzing Occupational Gender Bias across the LLM Training Lifecycle

Post-training is widely assumed to reduce the social biases language models inherit from pretraining, yet direct evidence for this assumption remains mixed. In this paper, we examine how gender disparities evolve across the language modeling pipeline. In particular, we study occupational gender bias in OLMo 3, a fully...

MARS: Memory-Aware Routing for Session-Level LLM Assistants

Long-term LLM assistants must repeatedly decide what prior context to expose and which model should answer as an interaction evolves. Existing memory systems and model routers usually make these decisions separately, although memory construction changes the evidence, distractors, and difficulty of the resulting input....

ConvexLLM: Scaling Convex-Hull Speech Interfaces to General-Purpose Audio Intelligence

Speech and audio language models connect continuous acoustic representations to decoders pretrained primarily on text data. Most such models use MLP or Q-Former interfaces to map acoustic features into the decoder's input space, requiring the decoder to learn how to interpret the resulting representations. We investiga...

EduWild: How Teacher-Configured Chatbots Fail in Real-World Use and How to Fix Them

Teachers increasingly configure educational chatbots through natural-language instructions, but how these bots fail in real-world use remains poorly understood. We introduce EduWild, a dataset of 1,726 conversations with 217 teacher-configured chatbots, each paired with the instructions and configuration behind it, inc...

Truth in Contrast: Calibrated Factual Evidence from Language Model Likelihoods

Large Language Models (LLMs) encode substantial factual knowledge. Yet, estimating confidence in factual claims reliably remains challenging. We study likelihood-based factual confidence from the complementary perspectives of discrimination and calibration across multilingual factual statements. Specifically, we instan...

Perceive, Solve, Reason: Progressive Capability Formation in Time Series-LLMs

Large language models (LLMs) can now perceive, describe, and reason about images and audio, yet time series understanding remains underestimated: most work uses LLMs as forecasters and classifiers, reasoning studies are few and narrow, and no suite trains and evaluates the full range of capabilities. In this paper, we...

MuninAI: A Self-Hosted Agentic Framework for Independent Research Groups

Research groups that want a language model grounded in their own literature face a choice between hosted services that receive their unpublished work and self-hosted deployments that keep the data local but give the model no access to the corpus. Munin is an open-source framework for a self-hosted scientific assistant...

A low-dimensional dynamical basis for tongue shape control

Speech production involves the control of a high-dimensional articulatory system with many degrees-of-freedom, but a widespread hypothesis is that speakers navigate this complexity using a set of lower-dimensional control variables. Common candidates for these control variables include individual articulators (e.g. ton...

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.
