We introduce SNACK, a string representation for probabilistic graph generation that enables language models to generate graphs with discrete node and edge features. SNACK linearizes graphs by encoding the nonzero entries of the lower-triangular adjacency matrix, establishing a bijective correspondence between valid seq...

Architectural technical debt arises when a system's implementation drifts from its inten ded modular decomposition, while the mapping between source files and architectural modu les is missing, incomplete, or costly to maintain manually. We formulate code-to-archite cture mapping as semi-supervised node classification...

A diagnostic-first methodology is proposed that localizes trigger-relevant features through constrained perturbation analysis and detects poisoning-induced behavioral drift by comparison with a distilled baseline model and enables targeted mitigation via automated data sanitization or neuron pruning.

Discriminative models are trained with task-specific objectives such as classification, detection, or representation learning, yet their practical utility depends on generalizing beyond the training task to unseen samples from the same domain. This suggests that a discriminative model may retain an implicit trace of th...

The nature of improvement in each case is characterized: while recoverable concepts can be articulated through definitions and explanations, irrecoverable concepts cannot be transmitted, even with examples, and might require novel learning mechanisms.

Privileged Hindsight Distillation (PHD) is introduced, which uses later-emerging scientific evidence during training to improve proposal-time criterion assessment and the population mapping, while exposing only proposal-visible information at inference.

Large Language Model (LLM)-based agents have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in completing complex tasks through multi-step reasoning and tool interactions. However, recent studies have revealed that LLM-based agents can exhibit unfaithful behaviors, where their final reports fail to faithfully reflect their actua...

Simulated students let researchers test tutoring systems and teaching strategies before real learners are available, but only if the simulation reproduces where a particular learner succeeds and fails. The common approach asks a large language model to role-play a student, but a role does not model what this learner kn...

Reinforcement learning provides a direct mechanism for optimizing task objectives in large language model-driven agents, but task rewards are typically sparse trajectory-level signals that only evaluate task success, without directly supervising action-conditioned environment transitions, leaving the model with limited...

Automated materials discovery requires evaluating large pools of candidate configurations, with density functional theory (DFT) as a major throughput bottleneck. Pretrained machine-learned interatomic potentials (MLIPs) approximate DFT cheaply, but their errors vary by orders of magnitude across configurations, making...

Recent work has explored visual reasoning through image generation, where models solve visual-reasoning problems by directly generating solution images. Intuitively, iterative samplers such as flow matching are well suited to this task, since each sampling step may resemble one reasoning step. However, in this work, fr...

We propose DAGFormer, a Transformer language model whose cross-layer connections are planned by a jointly trained topology predictor. Beyond the residual connections in a standard Transformer, DAGFormer adds direct connections from earlier layers to later ones, and the predictor controls the strength of every connectio...
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.
