Existing Open-Ended Deep Research (OEDR) systems primarily generate reports from scratch, making them inefficient for scenarios where research reports need to be continuously maintained as new information emerges. We introduce \textbf{Incremental Open-Ended Deep Research (Incremental-OEDR)}, a research setting that tre...
While predicting prosody from text is an established task in the field, the opposite direction, predicting text that fits a given prosodic pattern, remains largely overlooked. We find this unfortunate, because this opposite direction could lead to some very interesting use cases. Therefore, in this paper, we make the f...
Functional Web generation is increasingly optimized with executable rewards, yet existing methods largely focus on the quality of the final page and leave the process of diagnosing and repairing imperfect implementations underexplored. We identify a central challenge in this setting: the Generator and Refiner produce e...

End-to-end speech parsing, a task recently proposed, consists in predicting both the transcription and the syntactic tree for a spoken utterance. Existing architectures for speech parsing often utilise intermediate neural networks. In this work, we examine the effectiveness of intermediate neural networks (NN) for pars...

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) and on-policy distillation (OPD) have become two main paradigms for post-training reasoning models. RLVR gives each response a single outcome label, leaving the steps inside it without separate credit. OPD provides token-level guidance at student-visited prefixes, b...
Large language models (LLMs) often default to Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) when generating Arabic, even when prompted with dialectal Arabic. A natural explanation is that their internal representations are dominated by MSA. We test this hypothesis by adapting the language-dominance framework of Shani and Basirat (2025)...

Despite the adoption of large language models (LLMs) in recommendation systems, prevailing approaches mostly model single-type behaviors (e.g., views or purchases). Even when incorporating multiple behaviors, existing methods flatten heterogeneous actions into homogeneous token sequences, ignoring their distinct decisi...

This work introduces SAIL, an open model with 35B total and 3B active parameters for literature research, scientific coding, and multi-step research workflows that achieves competitive performance across scientific research tasks with substantially fewer parameters than leading open-weight models.

An answer judge instructed to grade the final commitment should reject an explicitly wrong final value even when an earlier value matches the reference. We show that adding one colon to a candidate can violate this requirement depending on the presentation of the structured judging request. Numeric references certify t...
A framework for reference-free hallucination detection in Sinhala-to-English, with a semantic rescue mechanism that uses character-level similarity to distinguish hallucinations from morphological variants is introduced.
Contemporary decoder-only large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities across a wide range of domains. However, existing pretraining paradigms for gloss-free sign language translation (SLT) are largely designed around conventional encoder-decoder pretrained language models, which limits their dire...

Rule-governed contextual decision tasks require models to apply specified rules to case-specific context and evidence. Written rules can leave gaps in decision guidance and process evaluation, while reference judgments vary in their support from the rules and evidence. To address these challenges, we introduce AdaptEvo...

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.
