Context Injection and Long-Horizon Reliability: Separating Duplicate Recognition, Local Processing, and Counter Tracking

Long-horizon failures of language models are usually measured as end-task success or as a horizon length. We instead score, step by step, three components of a 400-step ledger task in which every step is easy in isolation and the model's own answers are re-injected into its context: recognising a record already seen 5...

MeddeX: A Retrieval-Augmented LLaMA-3 System with Gemini Vision for Evidence-Backed Medical Report Analysis

Modern healthcare generates increasingly complex medical reports that challenge clinical professionals in terms of time and interpretive burden. Manual review processes are slow, error-prone, and difficult to scale. This paper presents MeddeX, a Medical Report Analyzer that combines a QLoRA fine-tuned LLaMA-3 (8B) mode...

PRISM: PRIvileged Sibling-guided Multi-Agent Topology Design

Multi-agent systems (MAS) based on large language models (LLMs) have become a powerful way to address complex problems, and their effectiveness depends critically on the collaboration topology that decides which agents participate and how they communicate. Recent work learns to generate this topology from the task quer...

GRASP: Plan-Guided Graph Retrieval with Adaptive Fusion and Reranking on Semi-Structured Knowledge Bases

Retrieval over semi-structured knowledge bases (SKBs) must handle both textual descriptions and relational constraints. Text-based retrievers capture the overall semantics of a query but struggle with multi-hop relations, whereas graph-based retrievers follow relational paths precisely but miss the broader meaning. We...

Fractional Rotation, Full Potential? Investigating Performance and Convergence of Partial RoPE

Rotary Positional Embedding (RoPE) is widely used in transformers to encode relative positional information, yet the effect of applying RoPE to only a subset of hidden dimensions remains underexplored. This design choice can substantially reduce memory usage, especially at long context lengths. We show that partial RoP...

AlignSAE: Concept-Aligned Sparse Autoencoders

AlignSAE is introduced, a method that aligns SAE features with a predefined ontology through a "pre-train, then post-train"curriculum and achieves disentanglement improvements of $9$--$\infty\times$ over standard SAEs, and further supports multi-hop reasoning and a mechanistic probe of grokking-like generalization dyna...

Thinking-Free Policy Initialization Makes Distilled Reasoning Models More Effective and Efficient Reasoners

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Reward (RLVR) effectively solves complex tasks but demands extremely long context lengths during training, leading to substantial computational costs. While multi-stage training can partially mitigate this, starting with overly short contexts often causes irreversible performance...

Lexical Reference Frames: Interpreting LM Residual Streams in Native Semantics

The vocabulary of a language model is its native semantics: the embedding and the unembedding fix the meaning of a state at the two ends of the residual stream. Between them, existing methods either reuse a fixed lens or treat the states as a point cloud, and neither reads a state the way the model does. We argue that...

The Right Byte First: How UTF-16 Helps Multilingual Boundary Prediction

This work trains small causal predictors on matched FineWeb-2 text and evaluates on FLORES-200 under UTF-8, UBE, and UBE's same-length big-endian variant, finding that UBE's mean error falls below UTF-8's final mean error after only 25% and 37.5% of training.

When Does "Post-Call" Begin? An Availability Contract for Earnings-Call NLP Benchmarks

Corporate financial disclosures often unfold over time, with announcements, prepared remarks, and discussion spanning multiple high-frequency return intervals. Financial NLP benchmarks can therefore suffer from a within-event timing mismatch when the prediction target begins before the textual or audio input used by a...

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.
