This paper investigates whether it is more effective to condition reinforcement learning policies across changing dynamics using standard input augmentation or hypernetwork-based parameter modulation. We use a small fixed-wing uncrewed aircraft under actuator failures as a demanding test case, as these failures introdu...
While highly accelerated non-Cartesian acquisition protocols significantly reduce scan time, they often entail long reconstruction delays. Deep learning based reconstruction methods can alleviate this, but often lack stability and robustness to distribution shifts. As an alternative, we train a rotation invariant weakl...

Skin tone classification is a fundamental task in computer vision, with applications in quantifying medical features, assessing demographic representativeness, and mitigating algorithmic bias. However, existing datasets either rely on a restrictive 6-tone Fitzpatrick scale, prohibit training through restrictive license...
Learning generalist policies capable of accomplishing a wide range of everyday tasks remains an open challenge in dexterous manipulation. In particular, collecting large-scale manipulation data via real-world teleoperation is expensive and difficult to scale. While learning in simulation provides a feasible alternative...

Network traffic classification underpins network security and management but faces growing challenges from pervasive encryption and evolving protocols. Existing representations involve clear trade-offs: hand-crafted flow statistics are efficient but lossy, raw-bit encodings can be accurate but costly, and pre-trained e...

Vision-language model (VLM) errors on visual reasoning may come from missing visual structure, from mistakes after that structure is extracted, or from both. We introduce VRIQ, a benchmark of 1,391 human-verified IQ-style visual reasoning puzzles spanning five psychometric categories, each instantiated in category-matc...

This paper proposes a strictly convex chance-constrained stochastic control framework that accounts for uncertainty in control specifications such as reference trajectories and operational constraints. Control inputs and risk allocation are jointly optimized under general, possibly non-Gaussian, uncertainties through s...
Long-context inference enhances the reasoning capability of Large Language Models (LLMs), but incurs significant computational overhead. Token-oriented methods, such as pruning and skipping, have shown great promise in reducing inference latency, yet still suffer from inherently insufficient structure optimization, out...

Random walk (RW)-based algorithms have long been popular in distributed systems due to low overheads and scalability, with recent growing applications in decentralized learning. However, their reliance on local interactions makes them inherently vulnerable to malicious behavior. In this work, we investigate an adversar...

Clustering with bandit feedback refers to the problem of partitioning the arms of an $N$-armed stochastic bandit according to their underlying distributions, based on noisy observations collected sequentially and adaptively. This setting has attracted growing interest for its applicability in recommendation systems, cr...

The discovery of novel odorant molecules is key for the fragrance and flavor industries, yet efficiently navigating the vast chemical space to identify structures with desirable olfactory properties remains a significant challenge. Generative artificial intelligence offers a promising approach for de novo molecular des...
Sampling from multimodal distributions is a central challenge in Bayesian inference and machine learning. In light of hardness results for sampling -- classical MCMC methods, even with tempering, can suffer from exponential mixing times -- a natural question is how to leverage additional information, such as a warm sta...
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.
