Coding Agents with an Obstacle-Aware Harness for Safe Robot Manipulation

Coding agents have emerged as a promising paradigm for robot manipulation: a language model writes the robot controller as a program, and agents built in this way now operate robots without robot-specific training.Whether this paradigm is also safe, however, has not been asked. We evaluate coding agent under a safety c...

FAMOS: Feed-Forward 3D Articulation Modeling from Sparse Observations

FAMOS, a feed-forward model that predicts movable-part segmentation and joint parameters from a sparse, unordered set of partial point clouds, is presented and a procedural data generator that synthesizes self-annotated assets during training is introduced to overcome the limited scale and diversity of existing dataset...

Paint-Anything: Unified Any-Color Control for Image Generation and Editing

Paint-Anything is presented, which learns a shared hex-prompt interface for generation and editing through object-level color supervision, and introduces Any Color Benchmark (ACBench), comprising ACBench-T2I and ACBench-Edit, to measure object-level hex color fidelity across both tasks.

ERCPMP-Gx: Endoscopic Image and Video Dataset for Morphological, Histopathological, and Genomic Characterization of Colorectal Polyposis

Hereditary polyposis syndromes can be precursor lesions to colorectal cancer and are associated with a broad spectrum of extracolonic tumors. Early identification and accurate classification of these syndromes are essential for timely diagnosis, individualized patient management, and targeted surveillance strategies fo...

When Do Language-Grounded Explanations Help? A Graph-Bottleneck for Farm Monitoring Interpretable Sheep Facial Pain

Automated pain recognition from facial expression could make continuous welfare assessment practical in sheep, but adoption depends on trust: a stockperson cannot act on a score that arrives without justification. We ground a model in the Sheep Pain Facial Expression Scale (SPFES) by letting each detected facial region...

TouchSight: Bare-Handed Tactile Prediction from Egocentric Video via Generative Visual Augmentation

This work presents TouchSight, a monocular egocentric vision framework for dense full-hand contact force prediction that leverages 500 hours of pressure-glove recordings and extensive hand-object interaction (HOI) data and demonstrates that dense tactile signals can be recovered from egocentric vision alone, without ta...

LLM-Guided Transformation of Non-Critical Driving Scenes into Safety-Critical Scenarios Using Augmented Reality

An automated pipeline is presented that transforms safe driving scenes into safety-critical scenarios by combining computer vision, Large Language Models (LLMs), and Augmented Reality (AR) to support the testing and validation of autonomous driving systems.

CleanVideo: Adaptive Concept Erasure for Text-to-Video Diffusion Models

Experiments show that CleanVideo effectively erases target concepts while maintaining visual fidelity and temporal coherence, outperforming existing baselines under frame-level and video-level evaluations and under concept-recovery attacks when the protected pipeline remains intact.

Bridging Modalities on the Cortex: Surface-based MRI to PET Translation with a Diffusion Bridge

This work introduces a novel surface-based diffusion bridge framework DB-SUiT for MRI-to-PET translation that operates natively on the cortical manifold and demonstrates high-fidelity synthesis that substantially outperforms other baselines.

Cross-Modal Attention Acts as a Frequency Filter: Why Verbose Prompts Improve Robustness in Vision-Language Models

This work finds that the wording of the question affects VLMs in two opposite ways: verbose paraphrasing reduces drift variance by 70--81% on the 8B models and the practical recipe---pad the prompt---further yields measurable gains in accuracy, even under image corruption.

PointEvent: Rethinking Event-based Tiny Object Detection via Serialized Motion Evidence Accumulation

PointEvent is proposed, a lightweight event-wise state-space framework that alternates serialized scans across the complementary orders, progressively consolidating fragmented motion evidence beyond fixed local neighborhoods, and achieves SOTA with the fewest parameters and fastest measured inference among the compared...

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.
