Do Speech BCIs Need Larger Models? Rethinking Neural Decoding beyond Scaling

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...

Cross-Centaur: Modeling Individual Decision-Making Across Psychological Tasks with Language Models

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...

Before Retrieval Begins: Safety and Tool-Use Decisions in LLM Agents

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...

ParetoChat: An LLM-Based Interface for Interactive Multi-Objective Optimization

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...

Same Person, Different Advice: Auditing LLM Financial Advice with Repeated Risk-Tolerance Responses

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...

Prism Attention: Proposal-Refined Index Sharing Mechanism for Efficient LLMs Inference

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...

Self-Evolving Agents Can Repair Failures but Struggle to Generalize from Them

Cold-Start Failure-Only Evolution reveals that current self-evolving agents are better at repairing observed failures than building generalizable capabilities from failure, and suggests that current self-evolving agents are better at repairing observed failures than building generalizable capabilities from failure.

KiranaBench: Can a Language Model Run a Neighbourhood Shop?

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...

Recognizing Atari and Assessing Sente: Controlled Evaluation Tasks for Language-Based Go Agents

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...

Beyond Surface Cues: Robust LLM-Generated Korean Text Detection

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...

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.
