VidOmni-Bench: A Benchmark for Fine-Grained Video Understanding via Spatio-Temporal Event Verification across Complexity and Duration

VidOmni-Bench is introduced, a benchmark that requires models to verify whether each event in dense video captions is supported by the video, and reveals three key findings: Video-LLMs frequently generate hallucinated descriptions in dense video captioning, and they also struggle as verifiers.

2nd Place Solution to the HANDS 2026 Workshop Challenge-Dexterous Grasp Motion Track: Single-Shot Trajectory Warping for Grasp Motion Generation

This report describes our 2nd place solution to the HANDS 2026 workshop challenge (Dexterous Grasp Motion track) in conjunction with ECCV 2026. In this challenge, we address grasp motion generation for the 12-DoF LinkerHand O6, aiming to produce physically plausible reach-and-lift trajectories for unseen objects from r...

Think Locally, Refine Globally for Memory-Efficient 3D Reconstruction

This work proposes LoG-VGGT, a memory-efficient framework for long-sequence 3D reconstruction that balances local temporal modeling with global camera consistency, and introduces cross-window attention at a small subset of transformer blocks, enabling effective information propagation across adjacent temporal windows w...

WS-NeRF: A Mamba-Driven World-State-Aware Adaptive Deblurring Neural Radiance Field

Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) have attracted extensive attention in recent years due to their strong capability for high-quality 3D reconstruction and novel view synthesis from multi-view images. Existing methods usually rely on high-quality sharp inputs, while real-world image acquisition is highly susceptible to blur...

AgentVidBench: A Multi-Hop Video Question Answering Benchmark for Evaluating MLLM Agents

Comprehensive video understanding is crucial for advancing artificial intelligence toward the intricate dynamics of the physical world. While recent advances in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in video understanding, existing benchmarks remain confined to simple scene-...

Beyond Exact Match: Task-Aware GRPO for Cross-Domain PCBA Visual Question Answering

In automated Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) inspection, standards-guided decisions require systems to jointly reason over fine-grained visual cues, component semantics, and manufacturing knowledge. Although large vision-language models (VLMs) provide a promising foundation, their deployment is hindered by the do...

FOCAL-VLA: Subtask-Guided Geometry Distillation and Implicit World Modeling for Vision-Language-Action Models

Vision-language-action (VLA) models built on pretrained vision-language models have demonstrated strong performance across diverse robotic manipulation tasks. However, VLA models that directly map current 2D observations to actions often lack sufficient spatial and temporal understanding, limiting their performance in...

Designer-RSI: Evolving Procedural Memory from User Traffic for Agentic Graphic Design

Professional graphic design is a long-horizon agentic task in which structured, editable artifacts emerge from many interdependent actions, yet outcomes admit no reliable programmatic oracle. We introduce a continual adaptation framework in which a frozen frontier model operates professional design software through mor...

MIST: Multimodal Survival Prediction with Genomic-Guided Histology Attention

Across four external evaluations in colon, renal, lung, and glioblastoma cohorts, MIST improves external C-index over standard fusion baselines in the primary comparisons, which support genomic-guided histology attention as a compact and effective strategy for multimodal oncology outcome prediction.

Listen Before You Speak: Response Planning from Listener Facial Reactions for Conversational Speech Generation

Conversational speech depends on dialogue context and the listener's immediately preceding behavior. We propose ReACT-TTS, a two-stage framework that uses a one-second pre-response listener facial sequence to plan the next utterance's emotion and prosody before speech realization. On a strict dyadic MELD protocol, Temp...

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.
