DyMD: Preserving Interaction Dynamics through Distribution Matching Distillation in Few-Step Video World Models

DyMD, a DMD framework that adapts both teacher supervision and critic fitting to the evolving student with no auxiliary modules at inference is proposed, and a 14B teacher is distill into a four-step 1.3B student with no auxiliary modules at inference.

CG-HAF: An Interpretable Global-Local Lesion-Burden Fusion Framework for Ordinal Acne Severity Grading in Agentic Skincare Support

Ordinal acne severity grading requires distinguishing visually similar neighboring grades while jointly weighing holistic facial appearance and localized lesion burden - evidence that most existing approaches collapse into a single opaque representation. We introduce CG-HAF, a global-local fusion framework that instead...

UniAR: A Unified Framework for Autism Recognition Enhanced by Multi-View Prompt Learning

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder for which early and accurate diagnosis is critical to improving long-term developmental outcomes. However, existing ASD recognition methods are often constrained by the scarcity of diagnostic text data, forcing them to rely mainly on visual analysi...

Geometric Inconsistency Localization in Multi-View Image Sets

DeformView is introduced, a wide-baseline MV dataset with pixel-level annotations of geometric inconsistencies and DEFECt3R is proposed, a lightweight learning-based classifier that uses cross-view feature relationships to localize geometric inconsistencies at the pixel level.

FedHisto-PAST: Parameter-Efficient Stain-Aware Federated Learning for Cross-Site Lung Histopathology Classification

Cross-site lung histopathology classification must account for stain variation, non-IID client data, missing classes, and the cost of adapting large pathology encoders. This study evaluates FedHisto-PAST v2 for three-way classification of adenocarcinoma (ACA), Normal, and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). FedHisto-PAST v2...

DepthEvidence: Unifying Metric Depth Prediction and Geometric Reasoning in Multimodal Language Models

Spatial reasoning with metric constraints requires linking objects to geometric measurements and preserving their numerical content during language reasoning. We present DepthEvidence, a 4B model that uses its own dense metric predictions as object-grounded evidence for language generation. A camera-conditioned decoder...

Quantum Diffusion Models for Medical Image Analysis

A scalable hybrid Quantum Diffusion Model is presented, based on a Discrete-Time Quantum Walk algorithm, executed on a real quantum device, to model the forward dynamics of the diffusion model, and its use for medical image analysis is evaluated.

FLIP: Final Layer Inference-Time Probing for Vision-Language Models

FLIP is a validation step for intervention-based mechanistic interpretability, not a steering method, for testing whether a logit-facing intervention site in an open-weight vision-language model (VLM) supports structured, task-linked computation rather than generic perturbation.

FARE: Forensic Acceptance Region Estimation for Catching Bait-and-Switch Image Generators

Across generator swaps, including substitutions with similar model versions and model variants, FARE is effective at detecting swaps, consistently outperforming existing baselines at strict operating points, and remains effective under the exact-model and decision-only attacks evaluated in this work.

What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches us

Jennifer Neville did not want to go into computer science—but that’s exactly where she landed. Neville discusses the starts and stops that led to her professional sweet spot and her work identifying “surprising failures” making it hard for AI to handle complexity.  The post What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches us appeared first on Microsoft Research.
