We present Game-Guided Skill Discovery (GGSD), a framework that uses self-play in games to discover motor skills that are directly playable by humans. Playable skills provide a compact abstraction for controlling embodied agents through a small set of learned behaviors rather than low-level actions. To be effective, th...

Flow-matching approaches to voice conversion (VC) have gained attention owing to their high speech quality and strong speaker similarity. Among them, one-step models such as MeanVoiceFlow are particularly attractive because they enable efficient inference; however, their reliance on a computationally intensive content...

Echolocating bats can navigate dark and cluttered spaces using echolocation. Over a decade ago, BatSLAM showed that a robot with a biomimetic binaural sonar can build a topological map of the environment, by recognizing places from the received acoustic signals. Sonar place recognition, however, is ambiguous by nature:...
When inference demand exceeds available compute capacity, model providers must decide which requests should be served first. Users have different tolerances for delay from an LLM API, but current priority pricing schemes compress these differences into coarse fixed-price service tiers. We design an inference auction th...

Over the past decade, Machine Learning (ML) has been trained under dual objectives: minimizing prediction error via Empirical Risk Minimization (ERM) while controlling unfairness bias. In practice, however, fairness-aware training often yields limited improvements over standard ERM, making reliable post hoc auditing es...
Adapting a pretrained generative model to an arbitrary preference expressed as a utility function underlies reward alignment, guided design, and constraint satisfaction, enabling diverse applications. Existing fine-tuning methods trade off generality against computational cost: they either restrict the family class of...

Recursive reasoning models apply a small shared Transformer block many times to refine a latent state. This gives them large effective depth with few parameters and makes them strong on algorithmic tasks. Such compact solvers are natural candidates for tools that an LLM can call on narrow algorithmic subproblems. Howev...

Coding agents solve repository-level tasks through sequences of actions, where a single erroneous action can misdirect subsequent decisions and increase recovery costs. Existing approaches use execution feedback for recovery or specialized checks to block errors, but deciding before execution whether intervention will...

Traditional simulations of parametric partial differential equations (PDEs) rely on repetitive computations for each parameter, which makes high-fidelity design impractical. Neural operators address this issue by learning solution operators, accelerating parameter-space mapping by orders of magnitude. Recent Transforme...

Parallel search may generate a correct answer that final-answer voting fails to select. We formulate this consolidation stage as trajectory selection and introduce TRACE (Trajectory Ranking with Aggregated Cross-Rollout Evidence), a lightweight learned selector that ranks completed trajectories using the search evidenc...
Goal-conditioned reinforcement learning (GCRL) relies heavily on how target goals are represented to the policy. While recent methods encode goals via temporal distance, occupancy, or controllability, it remains unclear how much downstream performance actually depends on representation quality. We study this in offline...

Role prompting elicits specialized behavior from large language models through an expert identity, offering a lightweight way to guide reasoning on demanding tasks. However, evaluating or distilling complete role-prompted answers can miss useful next-token preferences when the sampled solution remains incorrect. Transf...

Machine-learning networks can learn without detailed instructions from a designer. Those that do may offer insight into how the brain reorganizes itself during learning.
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.
