Editing Large Language Models with Geometry-Aware Regularization

Knowledge editing has become a key technique for updating knowledge in large language models. However, existing methods neglect the geometric structure of the knowledge representation space, leading to two key limitations: they cannot distinguish which pre-trained knowledge should be preferentially preserved (core vs....

AssameseLM-E2B: An Open-Weight Assamese Language Model for Efficient Consumer-Grade Deployment

While Large Language Models (LLMs) excel in high-resource languages, their performance often degrades in low-resource languages due to tokenization inefficiencies, generative instability, and linguistic interference. This paper presents AssameseLM-E2B and its instruction-tuned variant, AssameseLM-E2B-it, a 2-billion-pa...

Accelerating Long-Context Decoding in Large-Scale Hybrid LLMs Without Retraining

The full-attention layers of large language models (LLMs) make every generated token more expensive than the previous one, slowing models down on long-context tasks. Hybrid models reduce this cost by replacing most full-attention layers with linear-attention layers, but the first still dominate decoding at long context...

The Harness Is the Model: Agent Scaffolding Changes a Fixed LLM's Compliance with Banking Conduct Rules, Unevenly Across Models

Banks validate language models, but they deploy systems: a model inside a harness that decides what it sees, which tools it can call and who checks its actions. We test whether that harness changes compliance with banking conduct rules when the model is held fixed. Four open-weight models each ran five harnesses (a pip...

Overview of the NTCIR-19 SciClaimEval Task: Cross-modal Claim Verification in Scientific Papers

This paper presents an overview of \emph{SciClaimEval}, a pilot task at NTCIR-19 on verifying scientific claims against the tables and figures of the papers in which they appear. Our dataset pairs authentic claims from 180 papers in machine learning, natural language processing, and medicine with contrastive versions o...

ProcessPrefBench: Evaluating Cross-Task Transfer of Individual Process Preferences from Naturalistic Human-AI Interaction

In natural human-AI dialogue, users' corrections, requests, and self-descriptions carry reusable signals about how they want work to be done. These signals reveal individual process preferences, user-specific standards for evidence, depth, analytical focus, procedure, and delivery. We ask whether a preference revealed...

Adapting Qwen3 to Tajik from 0.6B to 8B: Lower Text Loss Did Not Mean Better Understanding

Small LoRA adapters trained on Tajik news and books lowered Qwen3's Tajik text loss at every size we tried, from 0.6B to 8B, by 0.60 to 1.45 nats per token, but none of them improved Tajik reading comprehension where it can be measured. On Belebele the 1.7B and 8B adapters left accuracy unchanged and the 4B adapter low...

Confucius4-R2T2: A Stable-Prefix Streaming ASR Model for Real Real-Time Transcription

Streaming speech recognition is increasingly consumed by machines, such as translators and voice agents, that act on each token as it appears. A token that is later revised costs wasted work or a wrong action. In this work, we present Confucius4-R2T2 (short for Real Real-Time Transcription), a stable-prefix streaming A...

When Every Choice Is Correct: A Causal Study of Numerical Preference in Language Models

When a language model chooses a number between 1 and 30, every integer in the range is valid, yet the model can favor particular answers. We use numerical choice to study how preference is processed across layers and tokens. Perturbation probing and gradient attribution nominate neurons for activation interventions. In...

Holistic Parallel Supervision for Expressive Speech to Speech Translation

Expressiveness is central to speech-to-speech translation (S2ST), yet existing datasets rarely align source and target speech jointly in content, prosody, timing, and speaker identity. Consequently, current systems often rely on indirect conditioning or transfer mechanisms. To obtain this supervision, we introduce a tr...

Familiar letters, not related languages, let unseen languages into a shared space of meaning

Hundreds of languages have written text but almost no translations, and whether a model learning one from untranslated text builds on a related language or familiar letters is unclear: they usually coincide. Here we show that familiar letters, not a related language, let an unseen language into a shared space of meanin...

Selective, Risk-Controlled Emotion Forecasting in Conversation: From a Persistence Barrier to Departure Detection with Conformal Guarantees

Forecasting emotion in conversation is increasingly framed as predicting the next emotional state's value. We show this targets a hard quantity in a state-observed testbed and propose a learnable, deployable reformulation instead. On valence-arousal-dominance trajectories from a dyadic corpus, repeating a speaker's own...

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.
