CRUX: Clinical-Text Anchoring for Cross-Institutional CT-Pathology Fusion in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Survival Prediction

CRUX (CRoss-modal Unification via teXt anchoring), a fusion framework that uses clinical text---encoded by a biomedical language model---as an institution-invariant semantic anchor for robust, generalizable multimodal cancer prognosis, is presented.

Regulating for an AI Commons: Adopting, sustaining, and defending people-first innovation trajectories

A three-pillared holistic and intentional policy approach that actively pushes for the adoption of cooperative technologies in existing and emerging systems, sets up collective institutional structures to sustain and maintain them in the long-term, and introduces regulatory proposals that limit private entities from di...

LocalIntent: Outcome-Specific Structured Generation for Backend-Compatible Smart Building Automation with Local LLMs

This work investigates whether a complete outcome-specific prompting design improves compact-model outputs beyond generic route-then-generate prompting, and achieves higher intent understanding, device identification, and action/parameter correctness than generic two-stage prompting, while clarification/mode correctnes...

MambaAct: Efficient Mamba Action Experts for Flow-Matching Vision-Language-Action Models

This work introduces MambaAct, an efficient Mamba action expert for flow-matching VLA policies, which retains the pretrained visual-language prefix encoder of $\pi_{0.5}$, while replacing its transformer-based action expert with a compact Mamba-based action expert.

From Billion-Scale to Million-Scale Language Models: Operational Capabilities for Embedded Post-Exploitation

Although the evaluated models remain too computationally demanding for widespread deployment in contemporary malware, rapid progress in compact models may reduce this barrier and help anticipate AI-assisted malware and inform future countermeasures.

LSNR: Learned Sparse News Recommendations with Attentive User Modeling

LSNR encodes each article independently and constructs a sparse user vector by combining learned, attention-based weighting of the per-article sparse representations with a dense-projected expansion at the user level, which confirms that learned attention-based aggregation outperforms simpler pooling alternatives.

Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar

Zero-knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum-resistant security. The post Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar appeared first on Microsoft Research.
