Task-Induced Riemannian Metrics for Vision Transformer Feature Spaces

Methods operating on Vision Transformer (ViT) feature spaces typically rely on Euclidean distance or cosine similarity. This assumes that every direction is equally meaningful, but there is no reason to believe the true task geometry has this property. The task-sensitive geometry of the feature space is given by the pu...

ScoutNeRV: Rapid Encoding of Grid-Based Video INRs via ScoutNet

Implicit neural representations (INRs) have emerged as a promising paradigm for video compression, providing compact neural representations with flexible spatial and temporal reconstruction. Hierarchical grid-based architectures such as HiNeRV achieve strong rate--distortion performance, but require extensive per-video...

FFM-CP: Cross-Backbone Fusion of Vision-Language Foundation Models for Few-Shot Computational Pathology

It is suggested that combining complementary pretrained representations can improve histopathological classification when annotations are limited, and FFM-CP achieves higher mean macro-F1 than the strongest individually adapted member of each fused set in 50 of 54 comparisons.

M3D-Net: Hierarchical Coordination of Spatial Context, Feature Reuse, and Differential Attention for Mammography Classification

Breast image classification requires local detail and global tissue context, yet these cues can weaken as representations deepen. We present M3D-Net, a mammography encoder that hierarchically coordinates multi-scale coordinate attention, bounded dynamic feature reuse, and differential attention through resolution-aware...

DeltaS: Reading the Gated Linear Attention State for KV Cache Eviction in Streaming Video

DeltaS is proposed, a query-agnostic, training-free method that retains video chunks inducing larger normalized state change, or state drift, in a controlled comparison with the budget and retention policy held fixed, which suggests that the two memories of hybrid architectures can work cooperatively.

Physiologically Informed Digital Auscultation for Pneumonia Detection in Long-term Care Residents

Findings indicate automated multi-channel lung-sound analysis can aid long-term care pneumonia diagnosis, with X-ray supervision being more reliable than clinical, and fewer channels preserving performance while lowering acquisition times.

Benchmarking Active Spot Selection for Cost-Efficient Spatial Transcriptomics.

A retrospective pool-based benchmark of active learning versus uniform Random sampling for ST, where expression vectors are high-dimensional and continuous and candidates are spatially correlated, finds that active strategies do not consistently improve on Random at small budgets, and rankings depend on the evaluation...

PEARL: A Lightweight Prompt-based Feature Interpreter Framework for Real-Time, Anonymous, and Heterogeneous Collaborative Perception

Heterogeneity across Collaborative Perception (CP) agents is a major challenge for emerging CP frameworks due to domain gaps from differing sensors, architectures, and training data. Prior works mitigate this challenge by aligning features in a unified space via model retraining or per-agent-type interpreters. These st...

Feed the Panel Dimensions, Not Verdicts: Rubric-Decomposed Fusion of Vision-Language Aesthetic Judges

Vision-language models (VLMs) are deployed as zero-shot judges of image aesthetics, and panels of several models are recommended, on thin evidence, as the way to make such judges reliable. On two human-rated datasets, EVA and PARA, we find that a panel of holistic judges never significantly beats its best member, wheth...

Geospatial embeddings detect old-growth forests but buffered spatial validation narrows their advantage over Sentinel features

Old-growth forests develop over centuries under minimal anthropogenic disturbance, producing structurally complex and biodiverse stands. In Europe, protecting them requires mapping that is accurate for individual forest parcels yet deployable continent-wide. Geospatial foundation model (GFM) embeddings enable label-sca...

LAYERSCOPE: A Layerwise Characterization of Video and Multimodal Learned Representations

We propose LAYERSCOPE, a label-free, layerwise framework that aims to characterize a model's learned representations in video and multimodal settings. Evaluating downstream performance using representations from final or intermediate layers typically requires large amounts of labeled data, repeated task-specific evalua...

What Converges in the Platonic Representation Hypothesis? Structure over Geometry

The Platonic Representation Hypothesis suggests that increasingly capable models converge toward shared representations. Recent work narrows this claim to shared local neighborhood relationships, finding that capacity-dependent trends in several global similarity measures largely disappear after calibration. We challen...

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.
