Recent speech brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) increasingly rely on large models and complex multi-stage pipelines for neural decoding. However, in speech BCI, where training data are scarce, noisy, and expensive to collect, the benefits of model scaling remain unclear. This work revisits a fundamental question: are la...

Chinese Decision, a family of Chinese-language decision models that adapts pretrained causal language models to this interface, is presented, a family of Chinese-language decision models that adapts pretrained causal language models to this interface that covers Boolean judgments, categorical choices, and ordinal score...
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as computational models of human behavior. Recent models such as Centaur have advanced this goal by fine-tuning LLMs on trial-by-trial decisions from psychological experiments. However, existing large-scale behavioral datasets do not link the same participants across d...

Multilingual safety evaluations should measure tool admission and response harmfulness separately and distinguish refusal from capability failure, as well as identify Safety Loss through Interlingual Processing (SLIP).

Large language models increasingly act as agents that call external tools, yet most tool-safety research examines only what follows a tool call. The prior decision of whether to call the tool remains largely unexamined and can influence downstream safety. Across the seven open-weight models, the unweighted model-averag...

Multi-objective optimization models are often deployed in settings where decision makers (DMs) must balance some conflicting criteria. In practice, however, stakeholders must translate their qualitative preferences between different criteria into numerical weights, priorities, or reference points required by optimizati...
AI financial advisers set a client's stock allocation largely from one stated-risk question, yet people do not answer it the same way twice: in a national US panel, 41% of households chose a different answer two years later, and in a laboratory retest a third of people moved two or more points on a 0-10 scale after six...

Long-context decoding in large language models (LLMs) is increasingly bottlenecked by the memory and computation required to attend over an ever-growing Key-Value (KV) cache at each autoregressive step. Although token-level sparse attention reduces this burden by restricting computation to a small subset of relevant pa...

Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly evaluated on long-horizon tasks, including autonomously running a business. Existing benchmarks for this setting are almost exclusively English-language, Western in retail context, and single-agent, with the agent observing the business directly. We study how these res...

Domain terminology provides concise descriptions of game states and strategic relationships, but whether game-playing language models can accurately recognize these concepts and relate them to move evaluation remains unclear. We construct a controlled evaluation set centered on atari and its relationship to sente in Go...
As large language models (LLMs) generate increasingly fluent text, the need for reliable detection of LLM-generated content has grown substantially. However, existing research remains heavily English-centric, leaving Korean largely underexplored. Moreover, current evaluations of Korean text detection often rely on supe...

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.
