Microsoft is proud to be a sponsor of The International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) (opens in new tab), a premier gathering of professionals dedicated to the advancement of the branch of artificial intelligence known as machine learning. We are pleased to share Microsoft has 68…
Reviews and ratings by users form a central component in several widely used products today (e.g., product reviews, ratings of online content, etc.), but today's platforms for managing such reviews are ad-hoc and vulnerable to various forms of tampering and hijack by fake reviews either…
Imitation learning (IL) aims to mimic the behavior of an expert in a sequential decision making task by learning from demonstrations, and has been widely applied to robotics, autonomous driving, and autoregressive text generation. The simplest approach to IL, behavior cloning (BC), is thought to…
While finetuning language models from pairwise preferences has proven remarkably effective, the underspecified nature of natural language presents critical challenges. Direct preference feedback is uninterpretable, difficult to provide where multidimensional criteria may apply, and often inconsistent, either because it is based on incomplete instructions or…

Speaker: Benjamin StahlHost: Hannes Gamper In this talk, we explore advancements in computational models for speech quality assessment. Self-supervised learning models have emerged as powerful front-ends, outperforming supervised-only models. However, their large size renders them impractical for production tasks. We discuss strategies to distill self-supervised…
Senior Researcher Arindam Mitra introduces AgentInstruct. Using raw data sources, the automated multi-agent framework can create diverse, high-quality synthetic data at scale for the post-training of small and large language models.
In an online experiment with N = 1891 participants, we collected and analyzed over 18,000 prompts to explore how the importance of prompting will change as the capabilities of generative AI models continue to improve. Each participant in our experiment was randomly and blindly assigned…
