Socially interactive humanoids aim to interact with humans through their bodies, adapting in real time to a partner's movement, intent, and abilities. This requires models that understand both how bodies move and what their movements mean. Yet, existing evaluation frameworks for interactive motion generation do not ass...
Hospitals are rapidly adopting artificial intelligence for triage, imaging, scheduling etc., yet most deployments remain isolated point solutions locked inside departmental silos, resulting in duplicated effort, hidden risks, and unrealized enterprise value. Despite explosive growth of AI in healthcare market and accel...
Prompt design affects the moral judgments and refusal behavior produced by large language models (LLMs), yet controlled comparisons remain fragmented across datasets and models. We introduce ProMoral-Bench, a benchmark-style comparison of 10 prompting paradigms across four LLM families. Using ETHICS, Scruples, WildJail...

Depth-recurrence facilitates latent reasoning by sharing parameters across depths. However, prior work lacks combined FLOP-, parameter-, and memory-matched baselines, underutilizes depth-recurrence due to partially fixed layer stacks, and ignores the bottleneck of constant hidden-sizes that restricts many-step latent r...

Typed-decision models score options that the caller supplies at request time, so their accuracy depends on label wording that the model's developer does not control. We compare two releases of a 307M-parameter multilingual cross-encoder, Ru-Jev, trained on thirteen Russian-language tasks; the later release adds an augm...
Neural networks are likely to be among the most consequential artefacts in human history. As these systems become more capable and autonomous, their potential to cause societal harm also grows, making AI safety one of the defining challenges of our time. Yet we continue to build increasingly powerful systems without fu...

LLM-based medical assistants that follow a patient across visits need a memory that keeps the patient's clinical state correct as it changes. We examine the errors of five memory systems on longitudinal medical dialogue and find three recurring causes: the retrieved evidence gives an outdated state, includes another pe...

Diffusion language models can write many tokens per step, but must choose which tokens are safe to commit together. Mean-field decoding penalizes pairs of positions whose predictions look alike. We replace this proxy with the coupling itself: how much committing one token changes the model's confidence at another. Chea...
On-Policy Self-Distillation (OPSD) improves reasoning by training a student on its own reasoning, using the same model conditioned on reference solutions as a teacher. Applying OPSD to multilingual reasoning requires the teacher to provide useful feedback across languages, even when the student makes mistakes in interm...

Background: Cardiovascular care generates large volumes of clinical free-text documentation in local languages. However, clinical natural language processing (NLP) resources remain concentrated in English, and no existing benchmark is cardiology-specific, multilingual, and broad in entity coverage.
Methods: We presen...

Deep research agents answer complex questions through repeated search. They rely on a harness that runs their tool calls and returns evidence to their context. This creates a trade-off: Search works best over long passages, which give enough context for reliable semantic matching. But the returned evidence should be sh...

Masked diffusion models generate text by reversing a stochastic masking process. Unlike autoregressive LLMs, which generate text one token at a time, they can reveal many tokens in parallel, at the price of an error, since tokens revealed together are drawn independently. We show that this trade-off maps onto the stati...
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.
