UniK: Universal Knowledge Perception for Digital and Physical AI

This work proposes UniK, a common platform for both digital and physical AI classes, covering the full knowledge lifecycle across modalities from rich text and video to molecular data and sensor telemetry, built on Polymath Retrieval with no task-specific fine-tuning.

Rethinking Diffusion Segmentation: When Does It Rely on Its Noisy State, and Does Diffusion Matter?

Diffusion models are increasingly adapted from generation to conditional prediction, where a conditioning signal is combined with an evolving noisy representation of the target. In fully supervised segmentation, however, the conditioning image can already support direct target prediction, so endpoint performance alone...

ORION-CMR: On-scanner Reporting with Integrated Foundation Model for End-to-End Cardiac MRI Analysis and Interpretation

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) provides comprehensive cardiac assessment but remains underutilized because of the complexity of acquisition, post-processing, and interpretation. Existing artificial intelligence (AI) methods address isolated tasks, limiting clinical integration. We present ORION-CMR (On-scanner...

Learning-Based 3D Reconstruction of Power Networks from Aerial Point Clouds

An end-to-end framework for reconstructing overhead power utility network topology and extracting span-level physical metadata from large-scale aerial LiDAR, which mitigates common failure modes of heuristic connectivity rules in dense or cluttered scenes and under partial wire observation.

OnlineWM: Causality-Aware Active Online Learning for Effective World Modeling

Generative world models aim to predict future states conditioned on actions, where action controllability is fundamental for reliable dynamics modeling. While recent efforts leverage simulator-generated data to enhance this capability, existing training pipelines face two fundamental limitations. First, static offline...

Why Do Video Diffusion Models Violate Physics? Unveiling the Flaws in Attention Mechanisms

Despite impressive visual quality, state-of-the-art video diffusion models often generate content that violates real-world physical laws. While existing solutions rely on external priors or specialized data, we investigate the root cause by exploring the internal mechanisms of these models. Specifically, we present the...

StyleAT: Defending Face Recognition Against Semantic Attacks

This work introduces BoundStyle, a potent semantic attack operating in StyleGAN's rich latent space to maximize misclassification rates and develops StyleAT, an efficient adversarial training scheme that incorporates low-budget attack variants yet defends against stronger and unseen semantic attacks.

Reconstructed holograms and explanation-aware evaluation for low-cost computational pollen analysis in veterinary cytology

Automated pollen analysis supports veterinary cytology, but brightfield microscopy is costlier and more complex than lens-less digital in-line holographic microscopy. We evaluate whether reconstructed holograms can narrow this gap and whether model explanations remain reliable under modality change. Six pollen species...

CLEAR: Complex Learned Explicit Analytical Regularization for Ultra-Accelerated 4D Flow CMR Reconstruction

While compressed-sensing regularizers enable interpretable reconstruction of 4D Flow CMR through transparent variational objectives, their hand-crafted nature is too restrictive under high acceleration. State-of-the-art learning-based approaches mitigate this, but typically encode regularization implicitly through unro...

AVTR-1: Open Stack for Real-Time Interactive Avatars

Talking-head and dyadic models now achieve real-time inference, yet fast motion generation alone does not produce an interactive conversation. A live system must synchronize the model's output with speech from an external voice agent, schedule video frames for playback, and handle interruptions. We introduce AVTR-1, an...

Scout: Open-World Species Recognition on the Edge

Large vision-language models (VLMs) enable recognition beyond a fixed class set, but their computational demands prevent them from running on many edge devices. Cloud offload makes this capability accessible, but sending every image consumes scarce bandwidth and communication energy. We ask how to bring the open-world...

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.
