Tracking changing comparators is a central problem in online learning. For exp-concave losses, previous work established the $T^{1/3}P_T^{2/3}$ dependence on the horizon $T$ and Euclidean path length $P_T$ for fixed dimension, while the optimal cost of dimension remained unresolved. We resolve this question by establis...

Reinforcement Learning on Mixed-domain preference data (Mix-RL) has become the mainstream approach for training general-purpose Generative Reward Models (GRMs). However, Mix-RL suffers from two critical bottlenecks: the reward sparsity induced by outcome rewards, and the cross-domain interference arising from jointly o...

We study the problem of learning accurate and cognitively simple binary classifiers that are directly interpretable as Boolean rules. We propose mixed integer linear programming (MILP) formulations for training sparse disjunctive normal form (DNF) networks, viewed as small networks with a conjunctive hidden layer and a...

Batch black-box optimization is important for expensive systems where many candidates can be evaluated in parallel, yet only a few rounds of evaluation are affordable. In this regime, effective batch construction must identify multiple promising regions while avoiding redundant evaluations, and conventional Bayesian op...
NPU offloading makes the Pi a much more efficient VLM platform: it cuts energy per generated token by about two-thirds, leaves the host CPU largely free, and avoids the thermal throttling that the CPU backend reaches in sustained use.

We present several advances on neural operators by viewing the action of operator layers as the minimizers of Bregman regularized optimization problems over Banach function spaces. The proposed framework allows interpreting the activation operators as Bregman proximity operators from dual to primal space. This novel vi...

KANLab is a browser-based visualization tool designed to interactively teach the core concepts of Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KAN), forked from the widely successful TensorFlow Playground. To maximize educational clarity, KANLab omits residual connections and learnable scaling parameters found in modern KAN implementat...

It is proved that Muon can recover its spectral max-margin bias with Newton-Schulz iterations growing logarithmically over training, and disentangle the roles of Newton-Schulz iteration count, the stabilization constant, and the Newton-Schulz polynomial, revealing distinct asymptotic behaviors, including directions tha...
An exhaustive dataset of univariate canonical skeletons generated via a deterministic constrained context-free grammar designed to support the decomposable SR paradigm to solve multivariate SR problems without assuming linear separability is introduced.
Autoregressive transformers trained on limit order book (LOB) message streams are increasingly proposed as foundation models for market microstructure. Because the generative process of real markets is unknown, these models can be judged only by the realism of their output, leaving open what they actually learn. We mak...
Federated learning over decentralized networks inherently trades off the suppression of local finite-sample noise through collaboration against the bias that collaboration introduces between heterogeneous nodes. We study this tension by performing a large-dimensional analysis of Generalized Total Variation Minimization...

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.
