Machine learning is being increasingly used to predict where active wildfires will burn the following day, helping inform evacuation boundaries and containment lines. Most models are evaluated using Average Precision (AP), which summarizes performance across all decision thresholds, although acting on a forecast requir...
Spatial transcriptomics (ST) provides spatially resolved gene expression profiling but remains expensive, motivating the prediction of ST from histology images. Generative models have emerged as a mainstream paradigm for ST prediction due to their ability to model the conditional distribution of gene expression and cap...

World models trained via pixel reconstruction can struggle in visually complex environments, where irrelevant information dominates the objective and distract the model from information relevant to planning and control. We present Contrastive World Models, an approach for learning latent dynamics models without pixel r...
High-resolution surface solar radiation (SSR) is important for solar forecasting and grid operation. However, physically consistent reanalysis products are too coarse to resolve localized cloud-driven variability. In this paper, we study a multisource downscaling task that reconstructs high-resolution SolarCube SSR fie...

Learning-enabled perception is important in many autonomous systems. Unlike traditional sensors, the boundary where ML perception does or does not work is poorly characterized. Incorrect perception can lead to unsafe or overtly conservative downstream control actions. In this paper, we propose a two-step strategy for c...
Low-bit quantization of linear layers is often dominated by a small number of outlier channels. Existing smoothing, rotation, and residual-based methods can mitigate this issue, but may shift the quantization bottleneck to weights or introduce costly online operations. To address these limitations, we propose PRQuant (...

Personality assessment aims to infer stable traits from dynamic behaviors across modalities like language, voice, and facial expressions. Existing approaches often adopt a uniform multimodal fusion strategy for all personality dimensions, overlooking trait-specific modality preferences and causing cross-modal interfere...
A model that predicts this transformation in a single forward pass is learned: a MobileNetV4 backbone with FiLM-based emotion conditioning outputs parameters for differentiable global transformations, which reduced viewer-reported arousal relative to unedited images, comparably to the grayscale well-being filter.

CharBM25 is established as an effective, GPU-free retrieval strategy that matches or exceeds dense retrieval at negligible computational cost, and combining it with a general-purpose LLM of 12B+ parameters delivers reliable, training-free Devanagari post-OCR correction without task-specific fine-tuning.
Omni Demand Understanding is established as a distinct multimodal contextual inference problem: given an interaction stream, a model must detect whether a user demand is present and infer intent from multimodal and conversational context, and ODU is evaluated along five dimensions, covering both single-turn and multi-t...

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.
