Memory enables language model assistants to maintain continuity across sessions and generate personalized responses, but knowing more about a user does not necessarily produce responses they prefer. Existing evaluations assess memory capabilities without directly establishing whether memory use benefits the user. To st...

Search is a central component of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems and has been deeply investigated for classical ASR modeling based on Hidden Markov Models (HMMs). However, in work on current sequence-to-sequence ASR architectures it is often simplified to a small fixed-size beam search without external Langu...

Clinical Question Answering (QA) underpins Clinical Intelligent Decision Support Systems, but progress is severely limited for low-resource languages such as Indonesian by the absence of public domain-specific data. We introduce IndoNutriQA, an expert-curated Indonesian clinical QA benchmark of 911 question-answer pair...

Large language models (LLMs) serve users whose cultural identities are multi-layered, yet cultural evaluations commonly reduce identity to one label. In this work, we study LLMs under simultaneous identity cues, with a country persona in the system prompt and a second identity signaled in the user turn, either by namin...

This paper presents a dataset of 121,536 ground-reasons pairs across 86,464 rulings of the five civil chambers of the French Court of Cassation (2016-2025). An appeal on points of law cannot itself be appealed and often decides a case for good. Understanding how the Court rules is thus crucial and can help lawyers who...

Web agents increasingly serve the same user across repeated online tasks such as booking travel, shopping, and scheduling, so their long-term usefulness depends on how well they know the user's preferences. Passive memory and personalization methods cannot obtain preferences the user never reveals, and clarification me...

This work introduces RIFT, a family of selection-based KV cache compression strategies that balance prefill information and recent generated tokens, and demonstrates how a compressibility-driven drafter training phase, based on sparse attention masks, can improve the drafter's quality under a compressed KV cache.

Reward models score responses for preference optimization, filtering and ranking, and pooling scores across prompts needs them to be comparable. Yet pairwise evaluation compares two responses to the same prompt, so any score component shared by a prompt's responses cancels and goes untested. We study this component by...

Automated systems decide at scale which messages are harmful, and they decide unevenly. Classifiers label African American English as offensive up to twice as often as other English, the a...

Chunking strategies for retrieval-augmented generation are almost always evaluated on a static snapshot, yet the documents underlying a knowledge base continue to change. Because chunks are embedded independently, a boundary that moves after an edit forces unchanged text to be re-embedded. We measure this update cost o...

Extraction pipelines ask language models for JSON that follows a schema, and the schema can set a minimum number of list entries. We ask what models do when the document holds fewer items than that minimum. Under a preregistered plan, we test eight open-weight models on 558 real documents from nine annotated datasets,...
Flint-interactive gives AI agents a language for creating interactive visualizations. Click a chart, filter data, highlight related content, and explore beyond the view the author originally chose. The post Flint-interactive: A language for creating interactive data visualizations appeared first on Microsoft Research.
A new computational approach reveals how cells communicate to assemble into tissues. This could accelerate stem cell engineering, improve disease models, and inform therapies.

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.
