Gossip, defined as evaluative talk about absent third parties, is widely seen as a uniquely human social practice. This study examines whether comparable discourse emerges spontaneously in a community of autonomous AI agents. We compare Moltbook, a Reddit-style platform populated by AI agents, with PTT, a large human-o...

India's 22 scheduled languages are spoken by over a billion people in conversations that mix languages, often within one turn, overlap freely, and take place over telephones, in meetings, and in media. Knowing who spoke when, the task of speaker diarization, is essential to speech applications for such conversation: vo...
Reliable medical reasoning requires LLMs to dynamically access external biomedical evidence to improve factual trustworthiness and reasoning accuracy. However, indiscriminate retrieval can introduce noise and latency, raising a critical retrieval-timing problem: at each reasoning step, the system must decide whether th...

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated multilingual capabilities across diverse language generation and understanding tasks. Yet effective code-switching requires more than multilingual proficiency: models must decide when, where, and why to switch languages in ways that fit the surrounding context. This contex...

Every multilingual speech pipeline begins with a language decision, an error there propagates silently through recognition, translation and routing. In India it spans 22 scheduled languages across four language families, heard over short, noisy, narrowband and code-mixed audio. Foundational speech models increasingly p...
Affine Fields for Interface Repair across Modalities (AFFIRM) is introduced, which first learns and freezes a base correction for speech hidden states, then adds query-specific corrections with zero mean over the operator-training queries.

This work introduces a reasoning-guided translation framework for constructing multilingual evaluations designed to preserve the structure and intended meaning of diverse benchmark tasks, and develops a source-aligned evaluation collection spanning seven safety, conversational, and mathematical reasoning resources acro...

Effective social interaction requires more than fluent responses: agents must reach plans that fit the participants'needs and circumstances. Existing evaluations of social agents mainly rely on LLM judges that rate the conversation, without checking the resulting plan. We introduce HICO-Bench, a benchmark of 180 everyd...

Skills are widely assumed to play a central role in career transitions, motivating their use in career path prediction (CPP) systems. In this work, we critically examine whether explicit skill representations provide complementary signal beyond text-based job representations. We evaluate multiple strategies for incorpo...

TreeSpark is introduced, a unified training and inference framework extending the semi-autoregressive DSpark architecture that constructs parent-conditioned candidate trees from one backbone pass and replays their expansion, pruning, and budgeted packing during training.

Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have emerged as a promising approach to mechanistic interpretability by decomposing language-model activations into sparse, potentially interpretable features. However, differences in design assumptions, evaluation objectives, and experimental settings complicate conclusions about their effec...
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.
