How Far Will They Go? Red-Teaming Online Influence with Large Language Models

As large language model (LLM)-based agents increasingly participate in online discourse, red-teaming their capacity to support political influence campaigns is critical for information integrity. In pursuit of this goal, we focus on locally deployable open-source LLMs under an assumed threat model in which an operator...

FormalASR: End-to-End Spoken Chinese to Formal Text

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems are typically optimized for verbatim transcription, which preserves disfluencies, filler words, and informal spoken structures that are often unsuitable for downstream writing-oriented applications. A common workaround is a two-stage ASR+LLM pipeline for post-editing, but this...

IfcLLM: Natural Language Querying of IFC Models through Complementary Relational and Graph Representations

The Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) standard is central to building data exchange across the lifecycle, from design and construction to facility management and Digital Twin integration. In operational settings, stakeholders increasingly require access to building information without specialist knowledge of IFC's comp...

Efficient Best-Of-N with Radial Consensus Score

Radial Consensus Score (RCS) is introduced, a simple, efficient, and training-free method for best-of-N$ selection that enables it to recover semantically coherent correct answers despite lexical fragmentation, and suggests that geometric consensus can serve as a scalable and reliable alternative to voting-based method...

A Sociolinguistic Analysis of Automatic Speech Recognition Bias in Newcastle English

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems are widely used in everyday communication, education, healthcare, and industry, yet their performance remains uneven across speakers, particularly when dialectal variation diverges from the mainstream accents represented in training data. This study investigates ASR bias throu...

Language Models as Higher-Order Planning Formalizers

Recent work provides overwhelming evidence that LLMs, even those trained to scale their reasoning trace, quickly deteriorate at planning as problems become more complex. LLM-as-Formalizers aim to address this by employing LLMs as a bridge to translate natural language descriptions into structured planning representatio...

TabAgent: Distilling LLM Agent Components into Cheap Classifiers

TabAgent is proposed, a framework for replacing generative decision components in closed-set selection tasks with a compact textual-tabular classifier trained on execution traces, establishing a paradigm for learned discriminative replacements of generative bottlenecks in production agent architectures.

The Imperfective Paradox in Large Language Models

Do Large Language Models (LLMs) genuinely grasp the compositional semantics of events, or do they rely on surface-level probabilistic heuristics? We investigate the Imperfective Paradox, a logical phenomenon where the past progressive aspect entails event realization for activities (e.g., running $\to$ ran) but not for...

Semantic Deception: When Reasoning Models Can't Compute an Addition

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used in situations where human values are at stake, such as decision-making tasks that involve reasoning when performed by humans. We investigate the so-called reasoning capabilities of LLMs over novel symbolic representations by introducing an experimental framework that t...

In-Context Learning Beyond Copying: A Training-Time Analysis of Abstractive ICL

The sudden emergence of induction circuits and the ability to perform in-context copying in LLMs coincides with a sharp drop in training loss over a short span of the training process. This co-occurrence has been cited as evidence that it marks the point at which a wide range of in-context learning (ICL) capabilities b...

How Well Does Mathematical Reasoning Transfer Across Languages in English-Centric LLMs?

This work studies cross-lingual mathematical reasoning transfer in English-centric LLMs under controlled multilingual evaluation and finds that transfer is highly variable across initial model choice, target language, and training paradigm.

MoVoC: Morphology-Aware Subword Construction for Geez Script Languages Corrected version

Subword-based tokenization methods often fail to preserve morphological boundaries, a limitation especially pronounced in low-resource, morphologically complex languages such as those written in the Ge'ez script. To address this, we present Morpheme-aware Subword Vocabulary Construction (MoVoC) and train MoVoC-Tok, a t...

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.
