Beyond Attack Success Rate: Cost-Aware Metric for Evaluating Iterative LLM Jailbreaks

This work introduces $\mathrm{ASR}_{\mathrm{STEP}}$, which penalizes additional victim-model calls while retaining binary success judgments, and considers GCG, PAIR with a step budget, and a single-step PAP baseline on JailBreakBench across three model families.

Pluralistic Alignment in Large Language Models: Objectives, Human References, and Preference Representations

Pluralistic alignment aims to represent meaningful variation in human preferences rather than collapse heterogeneous judgments into a single target. Yet existing work often mixes three distinct questions: what pluralistic behavior a model should exhibit, whose preferences define the reference, and what evidence is suff...

TORUS: A Unified Closed-Loop Benchmark for Unified Audio Models

Unified audio models capable of audio understanding, audio generation and, increasingly, audio editing are proliferating rapidly. However, each capability is evaluated in isolation on specialized benchmarks and a basic question remains unanswered: can these models understand the audio they generate/edit i.e. do they ex...

MLEvolve: A Self-Evolving Framework for Automated Machine Learning Algorithm Discovery

Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly applied to long-horizon tasks such as scientific discovery and machine learning engineering (MLE), where sustained self-evolution becomes a key capability. However, existing MLE agents suffer from isolated exploration, inefficient experience reuse, and lack of hierarch...

Artificial intelligence is creating a new global linguistic hierarchy

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform healthcare, education, governance and socioeconomic equity, but its benefits remain concentrated in a small number of languages (Bender, 2019; Blasi et al., 2022; Joshi et al., 2020; Ranathunga and de Silva, 2022; Young, 2015). Language AI - the technologies t...

RiskCueBench: Benchmarking Anticipatory Reasoning from Early Risk Cues in Video-Language Models

With the rapid growth of video centered social media, the ability to anticipate risky events from visual data is a promising direction for ensuring public safety and preventing real world accidents. Prior work has extensively studied supervised video risk assessment across domains such as driving, protests, and natural...

MENTOR: A Metacognition-Driven Self-Evolution Framework for Uncovering and Mitigating Implicit Domain Risks in LLMs

Ensuring the safety of Large Language Models (LLMs) is critical for real-world deployment. However, current safety measures often fail to address implicit, domain-specific risks. To investigate this gap, we introduce a dataset of 3,000 annotated queries spanning education, finance, and management. Evaluations across 14...

GoiBERT: Compact Vietnamese Language Models via Two-Stage Knowledge Distillation

GoiBERT, a family of two compact Vietnamese encoders with 26M and 49M parameters that operate directly on raw text, shows that compression is nearly lossless for sentiment and classification tasks but remains costly for inference and entity recognition, which points to clear directions for future work.

Investigating the Impact of Learner Errors on Social Bias in Large Language Models

A controlled framework that injects common learner errors into prompts and applies it to three bias benchmarks covering stereotype alignment and demographic preference across gender, race, and religion finds that grammatical errors increase bias, and the effect grows with the error rate.

Evolving with Open Worlds: Towards Recursive Self-Improvement for Future Forecasting

Most contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) systems are released with frozen parameters and improve through external updates, whereas an ideal system would keep improving from its own experience, a capacity we call recursive self-improvement (RSI). Yet studying RSI requires an environment that is continuously changi...

Overview of CHIP 2026 Shared Task 1: Patient-Specific Phenotype Concept Recognition in Full-Text Biomedical Literature

Automatic phenotype information extraction plays an important role in rare disease diagnosis, genotype-phenotype analysis, and precision medicine. However, accurately identifying phenotype concepts and determining their associations with specific patients remain challenging, particularly in full-text biomedical article...

How Far Can the Gemma 4 Speech Encoder Go Without Changing Its Weights? Saudi and Gulf Arabic Speech Recognition with a Frozen and an Adapter-Augmented Encoder

We study the 305M-parameter audio encoder shared by Gemma 4 and EmbeddingGemma 2 (bit-identical to that of Gemma 4 E2B except for the final audio-embedding projection) for Saudi and Gulf Arabic speech recognition, without changing any of its pretrained weights; the adapters of our adapted system are additive and kept s...

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.
