It is argued that accelerated samplers such as flow maps are essential infrastructure for efficient post-training, and that the dominant KL-regularized formulation is only one of many choices worth revisiting.

A PAC-Bayes excess-risk bound is proved that, for the first time, jointly accounts for prediction-space redundancy and meta-learner capacity in heterogeneous prediction pools.
Recent work reports that vision--language models (VLMs) struggle to establish and maintain stable reference in repeated reference games. Rather than ask which VLM does best, we ask a more basic question: do you need a large pretrained VLM for this at all? On grounding a single director utterance to one of twelve tangra...
Medical multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can perform well on existing medical visual question answering (MedVQA) benchmarks, but their training data often does not match clinical diagnosis. Most supervision is organized around isolated images or short QA pairs, leaving two structures weakly specified: how evide...

Autoregressive OCR vision-language models accurately convert document images into text and structured markup, but require one sequential decoding step per output token, limiting inference speed. Unlike open-ended text generation, OCR outputs are strongly grounded in the input image, making diffusion-based parallel gene...

Multimodal embedding models are deployed at scale: retrieval indices, benchmark results, and behavioral audits all depend on the base model's exact outputs. Extending such a model to a new modality with existing parameter-efficient methods silently changes those outputs; LoRA-style adaptation rewrites the text path whe...

We introduce Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash, a natively multimodal agentic model for real-world multimodal productivity. Compared with previous omni models, which primarily emphasized perception and interaction, Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash substantially improves multimodal understanding and reasoning, as well as performance on long-horizon...
ChainDoRA is proposed, a weight-decomposed adaptation framework that constructs the directional low-rank factors from a connected Tensor-Train (TT) chain, where the adapter rank forms the boundary rank between input- and output-side TT contractions and an independent TT rank controls representation capacity and paramet...

Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) underlies matrix factorisation tasks across many fields, with imaging applications demanding real-time processing. Yet SVD algorithms are inherently sequential, constraining real-time GPU throughput and limit online deployment in imaging pipelines. This study introduces a fully parall...
This work characterize translation-invariant (TI) calibrators and construct TI counterparts of shift-sensitive methods and introduces more expressive class-conditional affine calibrators that preserve decisions under argmax- and order-preservation constraints.
Whole-slide images (WSIs) are widely used for computational cancer prognosis. However, most existing methods primarily focus on in-domain performance and fail to generalize across clinical centers. This limitation stems from their reliance on pixel-derived representations that are highly susceptible to domain-specific...

The demand for high-resolution subsurface imaging and continuous Earth monitoring has driven rapid growth in active and passive seismic data from dense geophone deployments, distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) arrays, and large-scale 2D and 3D surveys. This expansion makes complex noise suppression increasingly challeng...

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.
Computer scientist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist will collaborate with the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing to advance AI and scientific discovery.
