Rigid-body motion planning is fundamental to robotic transport and manipulation, where both object position and orientation determine whether a body can move through cluttered environments. This coupling makes planning chal- lenging because translation and rotation can be constrained very differently by surrounding geo...

Language models that read financial news are usually trained on text from the same years used to test them, so a backtest can reward hindsight. We build news topics from NoLBERT, an encoder pretrained only on text published between 1976 and 1995, adapted into a sentence encoder by contrastive fine-tuning on passages of...

Split language models keep input text on a client but send intermediate representations to a server. Attacks can reconstruct text from these messages. Comparing privacy evaluations is difficult when attackers see different messages, know different model weights or use different datasets and recovery measures. We presen...
Large language model (LLM) unlearning aims to forget certain information while preserving others, without retraining from scratch. SoTA methods such as NPO, SimNPO, and SatImp balance forgetting and retain through whole model fine-tuning, while FOM-UL explores selective layer updates. Prior works show that suppressing...

Runtime query similarity identification supports several activities, including workload analysis, identifying recurring behaviour, auditing, debugging, and anomaly detection. Existing methods for evaluating query similarity mostly rely on SQL text, execution plans, or result values but do not account for input data or...

We study uniform approximation of the H\"older ball $\mathcal H_1^s([0,1]^D)$ by fully connected ReLU networks. Except in the one-dimensional Lipschitz case, existing constructions remain separated from the information-theoretic efficiency limit. This article closes the gap for every $s>0$ and $D\ge1$: networks with wi...
This work proposes a variational framework for solving Lindblad master equations by minimizing a residual cost function using a compositional ansatz obtained by combining a classical neural network with a parameterized quantum circuit, and demonstrates a theoretical connection between expressivity, covering numbers, ef...

The linear representation hypothesis holds that pretrained vision models encode generative factors as linearly decodable directions in feature space, and comes with a standard methodology: train a linear probe, declare a factor represented if accuracy is high. We show this test is too permissive. Asymptotically, any su...

Vision-language models (VLMs) are usually chosen from leaderboards, which give one ranking for every application. On questions about objects that a scene suggests but does not contain, however, the model with the lowest error on the POPE hallucination benchmark is not the one with the lowest error on such questions. Fo...
Flow-based policies such as $\pi_0$ are trained on a fixed set of embodiments, and transferring them to new ones is an open problem. To adapt a frozen $\pi_0$ to a new embodiment without additional demonstrations or parameter updates, we train a lightweight embodiment classifier to distinguish successful action chunks...
RePlanMem-VLA (Replanning-Guided Keyframe Memory for VLA), which turns a policy's own plan revisions into an online memory-write signal for controlling what a VLA remembers, is introduced.

While LLMs demonstrate strong capabilities in English Relation Extraction (RE) tasks, a significant gap remains in assessing their RE performance in low-resource languages, due to a lack of standardized benchmarks. Creating native, language-specific annotated RE benchmarks is expensive and requires human expertise, whi...
A machine-learning approach called CheMeleon provides a practical way to develop new drugs or other molecules with much less detailed, expensive experimentation.
Research Manager Mike Walker reflects on a career spanning hacker culture, cybersecurity, and AI, sharing lessons about trust, teamwork, leadership, and why solving difficult problems requires curiosity, judgment, agility—and an understanding of the rules. The post Learn the rules: The hacker mindset appeared first on Microsoft Research.
