Multi-Class, Multi-Tier Network Intrusion Detection: A Comprehensive and Reproducible Benchmark

Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) have dominated Intrusion Detection System (IDS) research in recent years. Unfortunately, many existing studies have produced inflated results and unreliable benchmarks due to critical oversights and mistakes in the ML and DL pipeline, from data collection and labeling to fea...

Dual-Anchor Acceleration Is Near-Optimal for Stochastic Monotone Root-Finding

Among distinct optimal acceleration mechanisms for deterministic monotone root-finding problems and fixed-point problems, dual-anchoring has recently been shown to admit a more robust direct stochastic extension than standard anchor acceleration. However, without additional strong monotonicity, the existing stochastic...

In-Context Learning for Robots: Methods and Applications

A literature review around the interfaces connecting contextual evidence to execution, distinguishing four families: context-conditioned policies, geometric demonstration transfer, world-model-based control, and skill- and agent-based execution.

SIFARI: Self-Supervised Interferometric Fitting for Astronomical Radio Imaging

Radio-interferometric images are reconstructed from sparsely sampled visibilities, and CLEAN-based imaging can struggle with spatial filtering, complex morphologies, and uncertainty quantification. Alternative methods that fit visibilities directly can address some of these limitations but often require manual choices...

Bregman Consensus

Consider a community of agents who are seeking consensus on a set of parameters. The agents agree to use the same Bregman-type divergence to quantify disagreement between their individual estimates of the parameters but have varying confidence in each other's abilities. Each agent is happy to revise their estimate by m...

Agentic Federated Learning: Rule-Based Client and Server Agents for Adaptive Training

Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative model training across distributed clients without sharing raw data, making it suitable for privacy-sensitive applications such as healthcare, finance, and edge intelligence. However, conventional FL approaches rely on static client participation and fixed aggregation strate...

Wasserstein Causal Forests for Distribution-Valued Outcomes

This paper proposes Wasserstein Causal Forests (WCF) for settings in which each unit's outcome is itself a probability distribution. This study also defines finite-grid transformed average and conditional average treatment effects, including a reference-distance contrast that asks whether treatment moves unit-level dis...

CipherGenome: Homomorphic Inference for Genomic Mixture-of-Experts

Genome foundation models are growing into sparse mixture-of-experts (MoE) networks whose expert weights no longer fit on the machines that hold the sequences, yet sending a private genome to rented accelerators exposes it: we show that a single server hosting one expert recovers the input nucleotides with 99.8% top-1 a...

GenomeOcean Anywhere: Private WebGPU Inference for Genome MoEs

Genome foundation models are most useful where sequences are generated, yet the largest models need datacenter accelerators and a place to send private DNA. We ask whether a 15-billion-parameter genome mixture-of-experts (MoE) model can instead run on volunteers'web browsers, with the experts spread across many untrust...

GenoTrace: Inheritable Watermarks for Genome Foundation Model Distillation

Can a genome model retain a detectable record of the synthetic sequences used to train it? We study watermark inheritance through distillation with GenoTrace, a codon-aware extension of green-list watermarking. Two token-level factors modulate the teacher's generation bias using codon position and organism-specific cod...

BarcodeMAE+: Rethinking Masked Pretraining and Global Representations for DNA Barcode Foundation Models

Many DNA foundation models are pretrained by masking parts of a sequence and asking the model to reconstruct them. Standard masked pretraining exposes the encoder to special [MASK] tokens that are absent at inference, creating a mismatch between training and downstream use. The role of an explicit global sequence repre...

Beyond Discrimination: Calibrated Geoprior Fusion for Bioacoustic Monitoring

Modern bioacoustic foundation models like Perch and BirdNET can identify species with high discriminative accuracy, yet their confidence scores are often uncalibrated and difficult to interpret as probabilities of real-world occurrence. This limits their use for ecological inference beyond threshold-based detection. We...

Simulating student learning for better AI tutoring

StudentSim is a research system for evaluating and improving AI tutoring tools before they are tested with learners. It models how individuals may engage with tutors, giving feedback to improve tutor performance across subjects like chess, writing, and mathematics. The post Simulating student learning for better AI tutoring appeared first on Microsoft Research.
