An Empirical Study of Recent Large Language Models for Knowledge Graph to Text Generation on Standard Benchmarks

Knowledge graph-to-text (KG-to-text) generation verbalizes a set of knowledge graph triples into fluent natural language. While fine-tuned encoder-decoder models have long been the standard approach, recent LLMs are becoming increasingly competitive. We benchmark recent LLMs against fine-tuned encoder-decoder models, u...

The Geometry of Metaphor: Probing and Steering Metaphor Representations in Large Language Models

Metaphor is a crucial aspect of human cognition. As such, we would like to understand how it is represented in large language models (LLMs) and how it might be controlled. We use mechanistic interpretability techniques to identify causal subspaces in a range of LLMs covering different architectures and sizes. We show t...

Towards User Simulators That Stay On Task And Still Sound Natural

Users increasingly rely on AI systems for extended, multi-turn tasks, yet evidence indicates that LLM-based system performance degrades over prolonged interaction. To evaluate and improve AI assistants in such settings, we need user simulators that faithfully follow complex user intents while exhibiting realistic conve...

From Structured Records to Patient Narratives: Preserving Clinical Alignment in LLM-Generated Health Summaries

This work investigates evidence-grounded health summarization for menstrual health monitoring using a constrained generation framework that combines structured evidence conditioning with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) using a prompt-based constrained generation framework and evaluates semantic alignment using Nat...

How Well Do Decision Models Transfer to Vietnamese? An Empirical Study of Text Classification

Recent advances in specialized decision models have expanded the possibilities for zero-shot classification, yet their effectiveness on Vietnamese remains underexplored. This study evaluates four specialized decision models across 13 classification settings spanning six task groups, examining zero-shot performance, sen...

SyRA-CS: Synthetic-to-Real Adaptation for Code-Switched ASR with Meta-Learning

Code-switched (CS) automatic speech recognition (ASR) remains difficult because real CS speech is scarce and synthetic speech does not fully match it. We investigate whether synthetic CS speech is more useful for learning an adaptation-friendly initialization than for ordinary continual fine-tuning. We propose SyRA-CS,...

Same Entity, Different Script: Diagnosing Cross-Script Entity Matching Failures in Language Models

Multilingual language models can give different identity judgments when the same people's names are written in different scripts. We study this effect using 601 audited identity pairs with attested Devanagari and Latin forms, holding the question and relation fixed. Qwen2.5-7B's same-person accuracy falls from 35.1% in...

Parameter-Efficient Adaptation of Large Language Models to a Low-Resource Agglutinative Language: A Corpus, Datasets, and a Reproducible Benchmark for the Bashkir Language

Bashkir is a low-resource agglutinative language written in Cyrillic and remains poorly represented in modern LLMs. We present an open resource suite and a systematic benchmark of adaptation methods: the Bashkir Web Corpus (71,567 documents, 46.9M tokens, 16 sources) and three labelled datasets for binary, multiclass a...

CrisiLangs: A Multilingual Resource for Crisis Warning Generation

CrisiLangs, a multilingual extension of CrisiText, is presented, a multilingual extension of CrisiText, to Italian, Bulgarian, German, and Greek, where low decoding temperatures receive the most preferences in all five languages and in both configurations, while the effect of the guidelines varies by language.

SurveyGraph: Generating Academic Surveys via Methods-Entity Knowledge Graphs

Most automated survey generation systems retrieve papers as flat documents, limiting their ability to capture research structure. We present SurveyGraph, a framework built around a Methods-Entity Knowledge Graph (MEKG) encoding method-level follow-on, competition, and shared-resource relations. The graph supports core-...

When LLMs Forget What They Believe: Characterizing State Integrity Collapse in Long-Horizon Dialogues

Large language models can repeat an instruction while failing to keep obeying it. We study this recall-compliance dissociation in long-horizon dialogue and define State Integrity Collapse: a model preserves a stated constraint in memory but stops applying it to later turns. We introduce StateTrack-Bench, a controlled s...

Cola2: Co-Adaptive Hierarchical Language Modeling with Continuous Semantic Compression and Balanced Discrete Generation

Hierarchical language generation separates continuous semantic modeling from discrete text realization, but its effectiveness depends on what the latent space compresses and how the discrete generator uses it. We propose Cola2, a framework that jointly studies continuous semantic compression, the balance between recons...

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.
