Semantic Communities and Boundary-Spanning Lyrics in K-pop: A Graph-Based Unsupervised Analysis

We examine how lyric representation shapes computational similarity using four 384-dimensional multilingual MiniLM representations of 7,891 K-pop songs by 1,456 artists from charts spanning 2000 to October 2023. Whole-song truncated embeddings provide the strongest standardized separation between neighbouring and rando...

Dual-Evolving Reinforcement Learning for Automated Reward Design

Crafting effective reward signals remains a central challenge in reinforcement learning (RL) for complex reasoning. Existing methods for automated reward optimization search with a fixed proposer which never learns from its costly trials. We present Dual-Evolving Reinforcement Learning (DERL), a dual-training framework...

Prompt Stability Matters: Evaluating and Optimizing Auto-Generated Prompt in General-Purpose Systems

Automatic prompt generation plays a crucial role in enabling general-purpose multi-agent systems to perform diverse tasks autonomously. Existing methods typically evaluate prompts based on their immediate task performance, overlooking the intrinsic qualities that determine their reliability. This outcome-centric view n...

Hybrid Gated Attention

The proposed HyGA sheds light on a more effective, efficient, and stable attention mechanism that contains three types of gating strategies and introduces low-rank matrix decomposition and learnable attention sink to further enhance training efficiency and stability.

IACM-RL: Intent-Aware Context Management and Reinforcement Learning for Complex Tool Invocation under Dynamic Intent Fluctuations

Executing long-horizon tool invocations in real-world environments is severely challenged by dynamic user intent noise. Existing methods attempt robustness via implicit history scanning or text compression, yet predominantly assume perfect instructions in simplistic scenarios. Inevitably, under fluctuating contexts, ob...

DEEPRUBRIC: Evidence-Tree Rubric Supervision for Efficient Reinforcement Learning of Deep Research Agents

DeepRubric is introduced, a data construction framework that first determines what an evidence-backed report should be evaluated on and then synthesizes aligned query--rubric pairs from those evaluation targets, achieving comparable performance to prior open state-of-the-art deep research models across three benchmarks...

ProReviewer: Evidence-Driven Investigation for Scientific Peer Review

Effective peer review requires adaptive investigation that responds to evidence emerging from each paper. Existing LLM-based reviewers largely organize the review process around predefined workflows, leaving limited scope for emerging evidence to reshape investigation. We propose ProReviewer, an evidence-driven review...

Explain Like I'm 5 or Whatever I Choose: Evaluating the Potential for Interactive Complexity in Language Model Responses

Given the increased use of large language models (LLMs) for reading and seeking information and the varying needs and backgrounds of users, direct manipulation of text can be a valuable mechanism for end-user control. However, enabling direct manipulation requires that models generate text consistent with user-requeste...

Ouvia: A User-centered Framework for Measuring Usability of Speech Translation in Real-World Communication Scenarios

Speech translation (ST) is increasingly adopted in user applications, yet its evaluation largely focuses on decontextualized testbeds and holistic quality, rather than end users' communication needs. We introduce Ouvia, an evaluation framework for measuring user-perceived usability of speech translation outputs in real...

Robust Asynchronous Planning via Auto-Formalization

LLMs can plan by generating schedules directly as a Planner, or by translating a task into a formal specification for a solver as a Formalizer. Most real-world tasks are asynchronous, with non-uniform durations, concurrency, and execution-time changes, yet existing benchmarks hardly cover them. We unify asynchronous pl...

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.
