Relative Wasserstein Angle and the Problem of the $W_2$-Nearest Gaussian Distribution

Understanding the distributional structure of high-dimensional datasets has become an important topic, yet direct visual characterization is difficult. In this work, we develop a geometric framework for characterizing the distributional structure of empirical datasets by quantifying their deviation from the Gaussian fa...

Linear probing enables Ship-Radiated Noise recognition with pretrained audio embeddings

Even though the ocean covers the majority of the planet's surface, it remains the least explored ecosystem. As light and radio waves do not propagate through water, underwater acoustics is the main choice for various ocean applications ranging from marine biology to pollution monitoring. Increasing levels of anthropoge...

Agent0: Unleashing Self-Evolving Agents from Zero Data via Tool-Integrated Reasoning

Large Language Model (LLM) Agents, often trained with Reinforcement Learning (RL), are constrained by a dependency on human-curated data, limiting scalability and tethering AI to human knowledge. Existing self-evolution frameworks offer an alternative but are typically restricted by the model's inherent capabilities an...

CID: Measuring Feature Importance Through Counterfactual Distributions

This paper introduces a novel post-hoc local feature importance method called Counterfactual Importance Distribution (CID), which generates two sets of positive and negative counterfactuals, model their distributions using Kernel Density Estimation, and rank features based on a distributional dissimilarity measure.

Simulation-free Structure Learning for Stochastic Population Dynamics

It is shown that StructureFlow can learn the structure of underlying systems while simultaneously modeling their conditional population dynamics --- a key step toward model-based mechanistic understanding of systems behavior.

Robust Photoplethysmography Signal Denoising via Mamba Networks

Photoplethysmography (PPG) is widely used in wearable health monitoring, but its reliability is often degraded by noise and motion artifacts, limiting downstream applications such as heart rate (HR) estimation. This paper presents a deep learning framework for PPG denoising with an emphasis on preserving physiological...

Transport-Coupled Bayesian Flows for Molecular Graph Generation

Molecular graph generation (MGG) is essentially a multi-class generative task, aimed at predicting categories of atoms and bonds under strict chemical and structural constraints. However, many prevailing diffusion paradigms learn to regress numerical embeddings and rely on a hard discretization rule during sampling to...

Optimizing Canaries for Privacy Auditing with Metagradient Descent

This work develops a method for optimizing the auditor's canary set to improve privacy auditing, leveraging recent work on metagradient optimization and demonstrates that in certain instances, using such optimized canaries can improve empirical lower bounds for differentially private image classification models by seve...

Hierarchical sparse Bayesian multitask learning for disease prediction in pooled microbiome studies

A hierarchical Bayesian multitask learning model that is applicable to the general multi-task binary classification learning problem where the model assumes a shared sparsity structure across different tasks is proposed and derived based on variational inference to approximate the posterior distribution.

DeepSPoC: A Deep Learning Based Sequential Propagation of Chaos

Classical particle methods based on propagation of chaos (PoC) have been developed for solving mean-field stochastic differential equations and their associated nonlinear Fokker--Planck equations. However, direct PoC implementations are difficult to apply to high-dimensional problems because they require simulating and...

A Decentralized Partially Observable Team Decision Methodology with Delayed Information Sharing

We study decentralized partially observable team decision problems with low-rank latent dynamics and unknown system models. The proposed framework combines team-theoretic equivalence with low-rank model representations to address cooperative decision-making in partially observable Markov decision processes without prio...

Automatic depth-based local center clustering via $\beta$-integrated local depth and adaptive grouping

Clustering is an unsupervised learning technique that partitions unlabeled data into groups. Most existing methods require user-specified parameters, such as the number of clusters or neighborhood size. Conversely, we propose automatic depth-based local center clustering (A-DLCC), a fully data-driven method that elimin...

Agent Lightning v1.0: A 3,500-Line Lightweight Agentic RL Framework for Training Agents with Real Harnesses

Training AI agents with reinforcement learning can be challenging because their tools, context, and decision-making are managed by complex frameworks. Agent Lightning connects existing agents to RL training, making it easier to improve them without rebuilding them. The post Agent Lightning v1.0: A 3,500-Line Lightweight Agentic RL Framework for Training Agents with Real Harnesses appeared first on Microsoft Research.
