Progress-Aware Distillation (ProD) is proposed, which explicitly detects and penalizes stagnation in student-generated trajectories and encodes the stagnation gap between student and teacher into an adaptive margin for dynamically penalizing possible stagnation.
This paper presents a comprehensive comparison of four representative reinforcement learning (RL) methods in autonomous vehicle (AV) decision-making, including: Fitted Value Iteration (FVI), Rollout Classification Policy Iteration (RCPI), Deep Q-Network (DQN), and a discrete-action adaptation of Deep Deterministic Poli...
A major challenge in wearable device activity recognition is the heterogeneity across datasets in sensor placement, channel count, sampling rate and subjects. Moreover, the motion patterns that distinguish activities often appear as subtle, scale-specific variations within otherwise similar waveforms. As a result, raw...
As large, powerful pre-trained models become more prevalent, there is growing interest in developing methods that allow different neural networks to be seamlessly combined with little or no direct communication between them. Take autoencoder-based data compression as an example: the ability to independently choose arch...

Next-location prediction can support proactive mobile-network decisions, but acting on unreliable predictions can waste resources. We apply MetaModelSelect, a lightweight post-hoc confidence metamodel, to selective cellular next-location prediction. The mobility-specific model combines a learned embedding of the predic...
We study continuous global optimization problems in which the objective function cannot be directly evaluated; rather, we observe only which of two selected design points appears to perform better, subject to noise. Such comparisons complicate the use of Gaussian process regression because they yield non-Gaussian poste...
Large Language Model (LLM) unlearning is often evaluated primarily by target suppression and clean retain utility. These metrics can miss a local failure mode: a model may perform well on standard retain prompts, yet degrade on benign reasoning when prompts lie near the forgotten domain. This phenomenon is termed forge...
We seek a hierarchical resolution of residual error under a composite learning objective as a principled mechanism for identifying and exploiting additional information, particularly under distribution shift and perturbation. Inspired by the System 1/System 2 paradigm, we formulate this principle as a two-loop mechanis...
Latent world models are routinely selected, checkpointed and ablated on one-step prediction loss, on the assumption that a model which predicts the next latent better is a better model. In model-based RL this assumption is known to be unreliable; we ask whether it also fails for latent world models, where the training...
Runtime policy verifiers can prevent agents from executing disallowed actions, but their decisions are typically used only for enforcement and discarded afterward. We ask whether these decisions can instead become verifiable policy rewards for training the agents they guard. We introduce Policy-Verified Self-Training (...
DyG-WM is proposed, the first framework to jointly predict future node and relation representations from temporal context by answering three questions: what has evolved, how it evolved, and what will evolve next.
It is shown that even a three-token, single-layer attention-only transformer can fail to converge, and that, while each transformer has a temperature threshold, the supremum of this set is infinite, so there is no global minimal temperature that forces all transformers to converge.
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.
