Unified Multimodal Uncertain Inference

CLUE (Calibrated Latent Uncertainty Estimation), which combines self-consistent teacher calibration and distribution-based confidence probing to produce calibrated predictions, is introduced, which achieves equivalent or stronger performance than zero-shot baselines up to 32B parameters across all modalities.

Lifelong Learning of Video Diffusion Models From a Single Video Stream

Video diffusion models can enable embodied agents to anticipate plausible futures from the recent past, but they are typically trained offline on curated datasets--a mismatch with the agents' learning setup at deployment: online, from a single video stream that sequentially outputs one frame at a time. We bridge this t...

MMAP: Multimodal Missing-Aware Pretraining for Longitudinal Alzheimer's Prediction

MMAP is presented, a novel Multimodal Missing-aware Alignment Pretraining method for learning image-tabular representations from incomplete data that outperforms strong multimodal and unimodal baselines on two challenging longitudinal clinical tasks for Alzheimer's disease.

GTR: Gated Token Recurrence for Efficient Dense Prediction

Results show that recurrent token mixing can provide an efficient alternative to global softmax attention for high-resolution dense prediction and edge deployment, and are shown to be faster than FLA v0.5.

One Domain, Many Tongues: Composing Domain and Language LoRAs for Cross-Lingual Remote-Sensing MLLMs without Paired Data

Remote-sensing (RS) multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are trained and evaluated only in English, while text-only instruction data covers over 100 languages. We propose MODL (Mutually Orthogonal Domain-Language composition), a recipe that adds new languages to an English RS MLLM without a single multilingual RS e...

Faithful Faithfulness Evaluations: Challenges&Pitfalls Learned from a Breast MRI Case Study

Saliency maps are widely used to explain deep learning predictions in medical imaging, yet visually plausible explanations do not necessarily reflect a model's true decision process and may therefore mislead clinicians. We investigate this problem using a Vision Transformer-based breast MRI classifier trained on the OD...

Visual Jev: Accurate and Efficient Decisions from Shared Visual Context

Many vision applications ask several independent, forced-choice questions about the same image. Visual Jev encodes the image and public context once, executes isolated question suffixes as a batch, and reads candidate probabilities from the backbone's language-model head. Across four benchmarks, answer-supervised post-...

CODA: Depth-Aligned Scene Completion and Object Decomposition from a Single RGB-D Image

Robots operating safely in cluttered everyday environments often need to infer scene geometry from partial observations. Methods that detect objects in 2D and reconstruct them independently struggle in such scenes: a missed object is never reconstructed, a merged detection can fuse two objects, and separately reconstru...

SAM-V: Geometry-Aware Segment Anything for Multi-View Instance Segmentation

Consistent multi-view object segmentation is critical for 3D perception and robotics, yet remains challenging under severe viewpoint and occlusion changes. Existing methods typically perform 3D instance segmentation on point clouds or rely on offline 2D mask-matching pipelines. However, 3D instance segmentation is limi...

MIND the Gap: A Geographic Implicit Neural Representation with Adjustable Spatial Scale

Geographic measurements are often sparse, leaving large areas without labels for the quantities we want to map. Geographic implicit neural representations (INRs) address this by learning smooth, general-purpose embeddings that can be queried at any coordinate. Downstream models combine these embeddings with sparse labe...

Sex Estimation from Footwear Outsole Impressions Using CNN Transfer Learning and Interpretable Image Statistics

Footwear outsole impressions are a common form of forensic pattern evidence, yet quantitative methods for estimating wearer attributes from these images remain relatively underdeveloped. We investigate binary sex estimation from footwear outsole impressions by comparing convolutional neural network (CNN) transfer learn...

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.
