Dion: the distributed orthonormal update revolution is here
| Kwangjun Ahn and John Langford
Dion is a new AI model optimization method that boosts scalability and performance over existing leading methods by orthonormalizing only a top rank subset of singular vectors, enabling more efficient training of large models such as LLaMA-3 with reduced overhead.
Reimagining healthcare delivery and public health with AI
| Peter Lee, Dr. Umair Shah, and Dr. Gianrico Farrugia
Former Washington State Secretary of Health Dr. Umair Shah and Mayo Clinic CEO Dr. Gianrico Farrugia explore how healthcare leaders are approaching AI when it comes to public health, care delivery, the healthcare-research connection, and the patient experience.
Self-adaptive reasoning for science
| Newman Cheng, Gordon Broadbent, Steven Truitt, and William Chappell
Microsoft is pioneering a vision for a self-adapting AI system that can adapt to the dynamic nature of scientific discovery, promoting deeper, more refined reasoning in complex scientific domains.

Project Ire autonomously identifies malware at scale
| Brian Caswell, Dustin Fraze, Sarah Smith, Rodrigo Racanicci, Tim Middleton-Sally, Shelby Hayes, Stanley He, Katy Smith, Bhakta Pradhan, and Mike Walker
Designed to classify software without context, Project Ire replicates the gold standard in malware analysis through reverse engineering. It streamlines a complex, expert-driven process, making large-scale malware detection faster & more consistent.
VeriTrail: Detecting hallucination and tracing provenance in multi-step AI workflows
| Dasha Metropolitansky
VeriTrail, new from Microsoft Research, can detect AI-generated content that is not supported by the source text, trace the provenance of content from final output back to the source, and locate where errors were likely introduced.
Time-series data—measurements collected at regular intervals, like stock prices or traffic flows—has become a key driver of intelligent decision-making systems across industries. From medical monitoring to financial risk control, identifying patterns in this data is essential to many important operations.…
