This work introduces a novel approach to compute a universal upper bound on the Bayes error rate (BER) from classifier-output samples, which serves as a Bayes-error-related performance criterion for the underlying classification task. We show that the bound is tight in the binary case and characterize the max-sum gap t...

By aggregating distributed energy resources (DERs) into a single dispatchable resource, virtual power plants (VPPs) enable the grid to use the flexibility of numerous small-scale DERs. Delivering an aggregate VPP commitment requires multi-agent coordination, where agents manage local DER models and operating constraint...

Neural watermarking systems are typically trained as tightly coupled embedder-detector pairs and implicitly assume static deployment. In real-world deployments, embedders and detectors are frequently updated and selectively decoupled for security and versioning purposes, which can break detection in previously embedded...

Tabular foundation models (TFMs) now outperform gradient-boosted trees in classification and regression. Yet in survival analysis, which predicts when an event occurs from censored data, often on small clinical cohorts, we find that no existing TFM beats the half-century-old Cox model. We address this issue by introduc...

Meta deploys a heterogeneous fleet comprising NVIDIA GPUs, AMD GPUs, and proprietary MTIA accelerators to reduce costs and mitigate vendor lock-in. However, the extensive history of NVIDIA-specific optimizations hinders performance portability to other hardware. This paper presents our methods for optimizing alternativ...

Physical understanding is crucial for decision making, yet vision models struggle to infer properties such as damping that govern how materials behave. Audio encodes such properties directly, because an object's acoustic response to impact reveals its damping through measurable decay. We probe frozen encoders for the q...

Accurate motion prediction is critical for safe autonomous driving, yet even strong forecasters leave residual errors in their multimodal proposals. Existing refiners compress complete proposals or update their segments sequentially, preventing the full proposed future from serving as explicit relational context for co...
In Hebbian learning from examples, a Hopfield network retrieves archetypes seen only through noisy examples. We study it in the exponential Hopfield model: one softmax attention step with the unlabelled examples as keys. A signal-to-noise analysis gives the overlap with an unseen archetype in closed form: a majority-ru...
We introduce REKI, a 2.4B vision-language-action model (VLA) pretrained exclusively on public data that sets a new Pareto frontier between performance and model size: on LIBERO-Plus, RoboTwin Clean2Rand and RoboCasa365, it is outperformed only by models about twice its size. REKI consists of a vision-language model (VL...

The vocabulary of a language model is its native semantics: the embedding and the unembedding fix the meaning of a state at the two ends of the residual stream. Between them, existing methods either reuse a fixed lens or treat the states as a point cloud, and neither reads a state the way the model does. We argue that...

This work proposes novelty patching, motivated by LZ77-style compression: start a patch where the upcoming bytes are unlikely to repeat the recent context, fitted in seconds on raw text with no labels, reference model or losses.
Whole-slide images may contain coexisting lesions, yet weak supervision typically provides only the most severe diagnosis. We formulate this setting as dominant-label multiple instance learning, where the observed label is the maximum-severity element of a latent lesion set. Standard multiclass MIL treats it as a compl...

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.
