Evaluator-guided reasoning presents a local control problem at every step: trust the current answer, return a fallback, or spend more inference. We formulate this choice as a compute-aware three-action controller, scoring terminal actions by predicted answer success and expansion by a rollout-based continuation-success...
This paper challenges the understanding capabilities of existing AI paradigms and emerging world models by asking a fundamental question: How quickly can reality change before an intelligent system can no longer reliably perceive, reason, and act? We formulate this as a theory- and model-agnostic challenge in which sys...
Agents pair reasoning models with harnesses that organize model calls, execute tools, load skill instructions, and retain history in memory. Understanding agent performance requires linking execution conditions to outcomes, behavior, and resource use. We introduce AlphaDiana, a measurement system with modular interface...

Reward-guided discrete diffusion enables test-time alignment with downstream objectives, but applying Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) guidance at every denoising step is computationally expensive. Active guidance steps require additional reward evaluations and, for gradient-based proposals, value-gradient computations. Sp...

Rapid advances in AI capabilities are causing benchmarks to saturate. Once several models approach perfect scores, a benchmark loses its power to differentiate between them, and with it its utility for informing AI safety cases and frontier policies. Yet benchmark items produce far more information than the scores we t...

LIME is proposed, a vision-language camera-motion generator that combines an autoregressive observation-gain output with a continuous flow-matching pose head that learns intent-conditioned camera motion from passive egocentric video, turning ordinary human recordings into supervision for a reusable active-perception pr...

Ensuring safety of learning-enabled robotic manipulation across diverse embodiments and tasks still requires significant manual engineering. For collision avoidance, existing approaches typically rely on embodiment-specific learned safety approximations or simplified robot models together with stopping-based fallback c...

Robot actions vary in both extent and mode: how much change they produce and what kind of change they produce. A latent action space that reflects this structure may make it easier for downstream policies to map latent actions to robot actions. However, existing latent action methods typically rely on visual reconstruc...

Accurate and interpretable motion prediction for heterogeneous traffic spaces, including pedestrians, bicycles, cars, and trucks, is essential for safe autonomous navigation. Nevertheless, state-of-the-art approaches remain predominantly black-box, lacking explicit encoding of the regulatory and behavioral constraints...

CAtt-BiGNN, a cross-attention-based bipartite graph neural network for coupled nodal-elemental learning, encodes FE-guided state organisation and information flow without imposing equilibrium or constitutive constraints is proposed.

LLM agents organize behavior through skills -- structured natural-language specifications that govern how an agent reasons, retrieves, and responds. Unlike monolithic prompts, skills are multi-field artifacts with platform limits: descriptions are indexed for routing, instruction bodies are loaded into a shared context...
Recent auto-research systems can produce complete papers, but feasibility is not the same as quality, and the field still lacks a systematic study of how good agent-generated papers actually are. We introduce ResearchArena, a minimal scaffold that lets off-the-shelf agents (Claude Code using Opus 4.6, Codex using GPT-5...

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.
