Zero-shot cross-lingual voice cloning often carries the reference speaker's accent into the target language. We propose closed-loop dual-reference guidance, which pairs the original reference with a reusable native anchor constructed by voice conversion (VC). The references initialize separate language-model (LM) state...

This work asks how consulting memory during dialogue changes what users go on to say, and thus what the memory comes to reveal, and across four support models, memory raises response quality but also empirical leakage, the share of attribute values correctly inferred from the record, by a margin that widens over sessio...
Across three visual tasks, it is shown that pathway selection is task-dependent, and that data distribution and prompt design can also modulate which pathway is used to solve the image-based query.

The results suggest that training explicitly for saliency is a promising route towards chain-of-thought reasoning that is more faithful to the model's actual decision process.

This paper defines this iterative inference process as Markovian generation chains, where each step takes a specific prompt template and the previous output as input, without including any prior data.

This work proposes GFlowPO, a probabilistic prompt optimization framework that casts prompt search as a posterior inference problem over latent prompts regularized by a meta-prompted reference-LM prior and consistently outperforms recent discrete prompt optimization baselines.

The identification and localization of errors is a core task in peer review, yet the exponential growth of scientific output has made it increasingly difficult for human reviewers to reliably detect errors given the limited pool of experts. Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have sparked interest in their...

This work introduces ShIOEnv, a Gymnasium-compatible Bash environment for synthesizing execution-annotated shell input traces and introduces grammar-constrained synthesis to generate syntactically valid arguments with high input irreducibility, which is estimated through self-ablative contrasts of execution artifacts.
Defending against a backdoor requires recovering the verifier that decides whether an input is a trigger, since blocking individual triggers fails against an attacker who can generate new ones. If a verifier could be installed with the asymmetry of cryptographic authentication, where only the attacker can produce trigg...
Post-trained language models often exhibit a recognizable AI-like writing style, yet its connection to post-training and internal representations remains poorly understood. In this work, we study whether post-training introduces or amplifies AI-like stylistic regularities and whether these regularities have a localized...

The proposed EDRM (Entropy Dynamics-based Reasoning Manifold), a lightweight routing framework whose default heuristic requires no router training, supports selective reasoning based on early decoding signals and demonstrates the potential of entropy-based control for efficient LLM inference.

We investigate whether an explicit learned memory graph can replace the Feed-Forward Network (FFN) sublayer in a decoder-only transformer while preserving the surrounding autoregressive architecture. In the proposed graph Memory Transformer (GMT), a memory cell routes token representations over a learned bank of centro...

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.
