The explosive growth of short videos has presented significant challenges to content governance. Traditional manual labeling is inefficient, slow to iterate, and costly. Therefore, we explore and develop a multi-stage autopilot labeling framework aimed at progressively increasing the level of automation in short video...

The paper proposes that transformer latent spaces encode stable regions which appear to correspond to recognised Jungian archetypes, and concludes that transformer latent spaces encode stable regions which appear to correspond to recognised Jungian archetypes.
A single evaluation score can rank generation systems but rarely reveals what failed. We propose rate-resolved text evaluation, which turns the masking rate of masked diffusion language models into a diagnostic axis. By reconstructing text under different fractions of masked tokens, one diffusion score becomes a vector...

Feedback presentation shapes how LLMs use evaluator judgments during translation refinement. We introduce a machine translation protocol that keeps the evaluator score, main issue, and recommendation fixed while varying feedback form and supporting detail. Across seven models and six translation directions, low-load fe...
Post-training expert pruning is a promising deployment technique for Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models. The calibration set is an integral part of the pruning process, however, its correlation with evaluation performance is largely misunderstood and unintuitive. In this work, we present an empirical study of the robustne...

Structural pruning followed by a recovery stage is the standard recipe for compressing large language models (LLMs), yet the two stages are typically designed and tuned in isolation. In this work, we study how their interaction shapes the compressed model, sweeping ordering, the data that drives each stage, and the ali...

We investigate the factors affecting salience in movie screenplay by posing two research questions: 1. {\em Does Uniform Information Density (UID) predict salient scenes?} 2. {\em What other linguistic properties distinguish salient scenes from non-salient background?} We answer both questions through a controlled corp...

Language models are becoming infrastructure, and infrastructure built in the open, by public institutions, on documented data, is the alternative to dependence on a few providers; Apertus shows this is viable at scale. Apertus 1.5 extends the fully open Apertus family from text to multimodal reasoning. Continued pretra...
Continuous diffusion language models represent an emerging paradigm for language modeling. They generate text in parallel by iteratively refining continuous representations and mapping them back to tokens through a decoder. However, realizing the efficiency advantage of parallel generation requires maintaining generati...

Concepts are the basic units through which we navigate the world and communicate meaning. But do you and I really mean the same thing when we think or speak about a concept? The present study develops a measurement framework for modeling and analyzing interindividual variation in concept representations through sentenc...
Large reasoning models generate reasoning trajectories token by token. At a given prefix, multiple next-token candidates may be plausible, yet shape subsequent reasoning and differ in their chances of leading to the correct answer. Whether these differences are reflected in internal representations remains unclear. To...

Large language models are typically evaluated in terms of the correctness of their output. However, output correctness alone does not confirm whether the latent knowledge supporting an answer has stable internal representations. We therefore propose latent state stability (LSS) and knowledge topology stability (KTS) to...

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.
