Think Before You Speak: Enabling Training-Free Latent Communication Between Language Models

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in solving complex tasks in coding, mathematical logic, and iterative reasoning, especially by coordinating effectively within multi-agent systems (MAS). However, language agents traditionally communicate via text exchange, which introduces a bottle...

Improving the Evaluation of Biomedical Question Answering with Few Human Preference Signals

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems are increasingly used for biomedical Question Answering (QA). However, evaluating their effectiveness remains challenging due to the lack of reliable reference resources and the frequent misalignment between automatic evaluation metrics and human judgments. One practical que...

Robust Marathi Sentiment Analysis using Domain-Adaptive Pre-training and Data Augmentation Approaches

For languages with limited resources, Sentiment Analysis remains a challenging problem due to limited annotated data and strong domain variability across textual sources. Marathi, despite being widely spoken, lacks extensive multi-domain sentiment analysis studies. Recent efforts by L3Cube have introduced multi-domain...

Enhancing Zero-Shot Domain Transfer in Low-Resource Sentiment Analysis: A Case Study in Marathi

Sentiment analysis is a key task in Natural Language Processing that determines the polarity of opinions in text. For low-resource languages like Marathi--where limited data prevents the direct use of standard statistical methods--models are often trained on single-domain datasets. While this yields strong in-domain pe...

AlphaPilot: Multi-Turn Tool-Using LLM Agents for Adaptive Alpha Mining with Reinforcement Learning

This work introduces AlphaPilot, a reinforcement-learning framework that trains multi-turn tool-using LLM agents for adaptive alpha mining, and attains the highest mean total return, Sharpe, and RankIC among the evaluated methods on both universes.

SAFE-KV: Causal Suffix Repair for Behavior-Preserving Non-Prefix KV Cache Reuse in RAG

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) reuses the same documents across many requests, making non-prefix KV-cache reuse attractive. Yet a cached document state is not reusable text: it is a context-conditioned causal state whose keys and values depend on the prefix, position, and preceding documents under which it was co...

Sanzaru: Benchmarking Protocol Formation under Epistemic & Communication Asymmetry

A language model's ability to solve a task individually does not ensure that a team can solve it under unequal access to information and communication. SANZARU examines this gap through cooperative bomb-defusal puzzles adapted from BOMBANANA! (Lefto Studio, 2026). Task information and action authority are divided among...

Dependency Reasoning for Aspect Sentiment Quadruple Prediction

Aspect Sentiment Quadruple Prediction (ASQP) is fundamentally a relational reasoning problem: identifying aspect-opinion-category-sentiment quadruples requires modeling structured dependencies, not merely sequential co-occurrence. Existing LLM-based approaches incorporate syntactic information indirectly, via retrieval...

Fine-Tuning Strategy, Not Just Data: A Statistically Rigorous Audit of Gender and Stereotypical Bias in Embedding Models for HR Recommendation Systems

Embedding models underpin modern job-candidate matching: resumes, job descriptions, and queries are encoded as dense vectors, and recommendations come from nearest-neighbor retrieval over that space. Any social bias in the embeddings therefore feeds directly into HR recommendations. We audit six multilingual sentence-e...

Scaling Laws for Multimodal Data Mixtures

This work derives data mixing scaling laws for three modalities: text, vision, and audio from Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures, and provides a principled foundation for understanding the multimodal data mixtures needed to train frontier MLLMs.

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.
