RIPE++: Reinforced Keypoint Learning from Positive Pairs Only

Sparse keypoint extraction and matching underpin core tasks in geometric computer vision, including structure-from-motion, visual SLAM, augmented reality, and medical image registration. Learning robust local feature representations, however, typically requires accurate camera poses or depth supervision, which are ofte...

The Coordination Compression Trap: A Dynamic Model of AI-Enabled Productivity, Verification Debt, and Organisational Resilience in Global Knowledge Firms

Aims: This study develops a dynamic explanation for the gap between task-level artificial intelligence productivity and durable enterprise value. It introduces verification debt, the accumulated stock of unverified assumptions, weak review, concealed dependencies, deferred validation, and capability loss. Study Design:...

WoundAIssist: Development and Evaluation of an AI-Based Mobile Application for Remote Chronic Wound Care in Elderly Patients

WoundAIssist enables patients to document wounds at home via photographs and questionnaires, while physicians remain engaged in the care process through remote monitoring and video consultations, and synthesizes design insights for remote patient monitoring apps that may inform the development of similar digital health...

Data Journalist Agent: Transforming Data into Verifiable Multimodal Stories

Data tells stories that shape society; the data journalist's job is to turn raw information into stories non-experts can trust. A high-quality news feature takes a newsroom team weeks: hunting for context, running statistics, choosing an angle, and designing visuals. Recent agents handle individual steps well: data-sci...

Redemption Score: A Multi-Modal Evaluation Framework for Image Captioning via Distributional, Perceptual, and Linguistic Signal Triangulation

Redemption Score is introduced, a novel evaluation framework for multi-modal generation by triangulating three complementary signals: Mutual Information Divergence for global image-text distributional alignment, DINO-based perceptual similarity of cycle-generated images for visual grounding, and LLM Text Embeddings for...

Scientific Image Quality Assessment via Multi-modal Retrieval-Augmented Generation

This paper proposes a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework for scientific image quality assessment, designed to simultaneously address both the understanding track (SIQA-U) and the scoring track (SIQA-S) of the SIQA challenge. We construct a multimodal index that integrates textual semantics with fine-grained...

Modality Discrepancy Transformer for Ambivalence and Hesitancy Recognition

Ambivalence and hesitancy (A/H) are affective states in which individuals express contradictory signals across facial, vocal, and linguistic channels. Automatically recognising A/H in clinical videos requires detecting cross-modal disagreement -- the signal that standard fusion methods suppress. Based on the conflict-a...

Comparison of Image Processing Models in Quark Gluon Jet Classification

Quark-gluon discrimination provides a useful test case for studying how different machine-learning architectures learn the spatial structure of QCD radiation. In this work, we compare convolutional neural network (CNN), Vision Transformers (ViT), and hierarchical Swin Transformers using the same three-channel jet-image...

SpaRRTa: A Synthetic Benchmark for Evaluating Spatial Intelligence in Visual Foundation Models

The Spatial Relation Recognition Task (SpaRRTa) benchmark is introduced, which evaluates the ability of VFMs to identify relative positions of objects in the image and provides insights into the mechanisms that support or hinder spatial awareness in modern VFMs.

OPTED: On-Policy Fine-Tuning for End-to-End Driving using a Render-Free Teacher

As scaling pre-training data alone yields diminishing returns, post-training is becoming increasingly important across physical AI domains such as autonomous driving. End-to-end driving policies are pre-trained in open loop with behavior cloning on human demonstrations. However, compounding errors during closed-loop de...

Fast Cross-Strength Multi-Contrast Brain MRI Translation using Latent Bridge Matching

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) acquired at different field strengths exhibits pronounced variation in noise, resolution, homogeneity, and contrast, which limits comparability across acquisition settings and complicates downstream analysis. We address this with a unified conditional model for controllable field-to-fie...

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.
