Scaling test-time compute is crucial for enhancing the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). Existing approaches typically employ reinforcement learning (RL) to maximize a verifiable reward obtained at the end of reasoning traces. However, such methods optimize only the final performance under a large...

Neural graph collaborative filtering is a powerful tool for recommendation due to its superb capability of capturing the user-item interaction. Despite the substantial progress, the noisy nature of interaction data remains a significant challenge in collaborative filtering, especially for data collected from implicit f...

Equation discovery solvers often use different data interfaces, equation representations and evaluation criteria, making their results hard to compare. We present LegoSR, a unified framework for algebraic symbolic regression and differential equation discovery. LegoSR integrates seven solvers through a common equation...
Agentic discovery can yield mechanics surrogates with low validation error that nonetheless violate physical requirements. We present Physics-Audited Agentic SciML (PA-SciML), a framework combining large language model agents with physics auditing. Physical requirements, encoded as contracts such as superposition, boun...

Fixed game suites for evaluating strategic reasoning in large language models (LLMs) saturate and are hard to keep free of contamination. We introduce GENSTRAT, a system for evaluating the strategic capabilities of LLMs driven by procedural generation of two-player zero-sum imperfect-information betting games, allowing...

Using offline datasets to evaluate conversational agents often fails to cover rare scenarios or to support testing new policies. This has motivated the use of controllable user simulators for targeted, counterfactual evaluation, typically implemented by prompting or fine-tuning large language models. In this work, we f...

We study how to learn a generative model of clean images using only noisy observations. Diffusion processes and their generalizations to non-Gaussian noise require posterior predictions at every noise level. We first show that it is possible to learn these predictions from independent noisy views using Noise2Noise regr...

Looping re-applies a block of layers so that each token passes through the block more than once. Adding a loop to a trained model is attractive because it leaves the parameter count, and hence the disk size, the memory footprint and the training cost unchanged. Unfortunately, every generated token pays for the loop. Re...
LLM-SR-UQ is introduced, a framework that retains competing equation structures and uses their disagreement to characterize uncertainty about the underlying functional form and substantially improves coverage attainment by incorporating structural disagreement while preserving in-distribution coverage.
Chronos-2 is introduced, a foundation model for zero-shot forecasting that models the interactions between multivariate time series and heterogeneous covariates, which commonly arise in scientific applications and shows that a single pretrained model can capture structure shared across temporal systems.

An approximation can reproduce an energy while missing its response, or satisfy an error tolerance without being certified by a given bound. We formulate observable-specific validity records for scientific artificial intelligence (AI) that link a reduction to its reference model, error measure, tolerance, parameter dom...
An analysis framework is proposed that relates the per-dataset gap to InceptionTime to dataset properties and tests convolutional feature learning by replacing the flatten readout with global average pooling, measured as a difference-in-differences (DD) against a backpropagation control on the identical architecture.
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.
