Evaluating ADC-only deep learning pipelines for breast cancer detection and segmentation using standalone diffusion-weighted MRI

Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) imaging is the gold standard technique for the detection and characterization of breast cancer using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, DCE-MRI requires long acquisition times and the administration of contrast into the bloodstream, which can cause allergic reactions. Alternative...

InGuard: Towards Generalized Inner Guardrail for Safe Text-to-Image Generation

The Inner Guardrail (InGuard) is proposed, a safety framework that works inside the pipeline on the model's own representations, leaving base-model parameters untouched and the RevGen Safety Benchmark to evaluate T2I safety under realistic conditions.

Automotive mmWave Spinning Radar Place Recognition with Spatially Gated Feature-Correlation Representation

Automotive spinning FMCW radar provides dense, $360^\circ$ sensing and remains reliable under poor illumination and adverse weather, making it well-suited to autonomous navigation. Place recognition uses these observations to identify previously visited locations for re-localization and long-term navigation. However, h...

Geometry-Conditioned Visual Place Recognition in Natural Environments

Visual Place Recognition (VPR) in natural environments remains challenging due to repetitive vegetation, sparse distinctive landmarks, and substantial appearance and viewpoint variation across traversals. While visual observations of the same place can change considerably, their underlying spatial structure is often mo...

Breaking Weather-Content Coupling: Type-Severity Guided Progressive Disentanglement for All-in-One Infrared Restoration

Infrared (IR) imaging is crucial for autonomous driving, remote sensing, and other perception tasks. However, adverse weather may introduce fake structural responses that are entangled with real thermal structures. Existing IR restoration methods are typically designed for a single degradation type or directly reconstr...

Learning Spectral Allocation: A Fractional Diffusion Framework for Adaptive Volumetric Segmentation

We address adaptive computation in 3D medical image segmentation: instead of designing another backbone, we ask how much spectral mixing each network stage needs and let optimization answer. We derive FHEAT, a two-parameter operator family, from the discrete cosine transform (DCT) solution of a fractional heat equation...

A Hierarchy-Aware Video-Language Model Evaluation and Hyperbolic Baseline for Surgery

Surgical procedures follow a phase-to-step hierarchy, yet the video-language models used to recognize them are evaluated with flat per-level metrics that ignore cross-level coherence and error structure. In this paper we make two contributions to address this problem, (i) we introduce SurgHiBench, the first hierarchy-a...

A 3D Pose-Based Ensemble Framework for Cricket Shot Classification and Automated Biomechanical Analysis

Cricket is one of the most celebrated sports world-wide, and technological advancement has become deeply embedded in how the modern game is analyzed and coached. Cricket shot classification and automated performance analysis add a further dimension to this trend. Traditional approaches rely on RGB video features or sta...

Cross-Modal Contrastive Learning from Histopathology and CT for Automated Renal Cell Carcinoma Grading

Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) exhibits substantial clinical heterogeneity, and accurate grade assessment is essential for risk stratification and treatment planning. However, conventional grading requires invasive tissue sampling. We developed RCC-Align, a cross-modal contrastive learning framewor...

Prompt, Probe, Train, or Annotate? Single-camera sports video understanding in amateur settings

Video understanding is usually benchmarked on curated, single-actor, or professionally filmed clips, and a strong score there is routinely read as evidence a model is robust enough for deployment. Amateur team sport is a useful, largely untested place to check that assumption: over eight million students played a schoo...

NV-Reason-CT: 3D Visual Language Model for CT Analysis

The NV-Reason-CT model, a generative vision--language model for chest and abdominal CT combining native 3D visual encoding with radiologist-guided reasoning, and the model and training code are released to support reproducible research on explainable AI for volumetric medical imaging.

When Visual Quality Misleads: Intent Recognition under Rendered Avatar Distortions

Avatar-streaming systems are commonly evaluated with image and video quality assessment (IQA/VQA) metrics, implicitly treating visual fidelity as a proxy for communicative success. We test this assumption through a controlled behavioral study of rendered 3D avatars across a pristine condition and fourteen geometric, ph...

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.
