Agent Mosaic: Recognizing Confidentiality Leaks in Agentic LLM Systems

Modern LLM agents can retrieve information from accessible documents, and then disclose a sensitive conclusion assembled from them. This mosaic effect creates a critical risk for agents operating over confidential data. We quantify its realization with 30 synthetic cybersecurity, medical, and military examples, yieldin...

X-pressing Intimacy: Mental Health Disclosure After Twitter Acquisition

Social media platforms provide spaces for individuals to disclose mental health experiences and seek support, yet how these disclosures evolve during major shifts in platform governance remains unclear. We examine mental health self-disclosure surrounding Elon Musk's October 2022 acquisition of Twitter, analyzing appro...

Text-Only LLM Correctors Break Correct Transcripts: A Repair-Damage Analysis of Audio Grounding in ASR Error Correction

LLM correctors of ASR output are judged by aggregate WER, which hides what they fix and what they break. We decompose every WER change exactly into repaired tokens, damaged tokens and insertions, and use this to ask what the source audio adds to a corrector. We compare correction with and without the audio, for the mod...

Protection Is Not One Event: A Survey of RAG Protection Research by Measured Endpoint

A systematic survey and human-coded evidence map of 118 full-text-confirmed RAG defense papers, organized by measured endpoint rather than claimed goal or defense mechanism, and the taxonomy, dataset, coding protocols, and testbed are released to enable comparable, claim-aligned RAG security evaluation.

Finitely Verifiable Segmentation: Decidability for Every Tokenizer with a Finite-State Verifier

A segmentation policy assigns to each byte string at most one segmentation into tokens. Call it finitely verifiable when a finite automaton over marked strings, bytes paired with boundary bits, accepts exactly the policy's own segmentations. The automaton judges a proposed segmentation and need not compute one. The pap...

When Multiple Choices Are Correct: Asymmetric Probability Allocation in Jev and Other Decision Models

Decision models return normalized probability distributions over candidate choices, which downstream applications can use to select among choices. Although their providers emphasize the reliability of these probabilities, calibration on tasks with a single correct choice does not establish their reliability when multip...

ChemBART: Pre-training a Reaction Language Model for Comprehensive Synthesis Planning

This work presents ChemBART, a BART-based language model that adopts a reaction-centric pre-training strategy that unifies diverse chemical tasks to facilitate synthesis planning with comprehensive implementation information and highlights the potential of reaction-focused pre-training.

Low-Bit N-Gram Embeddings for Language Models

Many recent open-weight language models use n-gram embedding tables to improve performance. These tables store learned representations of short token sequences, such as pairs or triples of consecutive tokens, which the model retrieves during processing. However, they can require substantial memory: DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash,...

Can an Agent Debug a Web Corpus? Agentic Auditing of Slovak FineWeb2

Multilingual pipelines such as FineWeb2 apply one recipe across a thousand languages, leaving the failure modes of individual languages unanticipated. We use an LLM once, as a corpus debugger rather than a classifier: a tool-using agent explores the corpus through a read-only, budgeted API and compiles each finding int...

Bilingual Language Models Capture Cross-Linguistic Influence in Second-Language Reading

While monolingual language model (LM) surprisal is widely established as a predictor of reading times, it cannot capture the non-native (L2) reading dynamics that are shaped by the reader's first language (L1). In this work, we investigate whether the cross-lingual transfer within bilingual models aligns with human L1-...

How Ground Truth Shapes Retrieval Scores: Evidence-Aware Evaluation of a Retrieval-Augmented Generation System for Breast Lesions

Purpose: To describe an evidence-aware retrieval evaluation protocol for a clinical retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system over breast lesion management literature, addressing the dependence of retrieval scores on annotation coverage. Methods: An 18-document corpus and an 18-query development benchmark, with one Y...

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.
