RankGround: Efficient High-Resolution GUI Grounding via Lightweight Reranker-Guided Crop Selection

Graphical User Interface (GUI) grounding is a fundamental perception task for multimodal agents, enabling them to interpret natural language instructions and interact with digital interfaces. Existing methods face a fundamental trade-off between accuracy and efficiency: direct full-image inference often fails to captur...

ReFigBench: Benchmarking Scientific Figure Reconstruction as Editable PowerPoint Artifacts

ReFigBench, a benchmark and evaluation framework built on 1,000 real overview figures retrieved from arXiv papers with full provenance, is introduced, exposing the tension between fidelity and editability as the central challenge for practical multimodal document agents.

Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual Recognition of Sign Language Handshapes

This work presents the first zero-shot cross-lingual framework for handshape recognition, transferring from ASL to Catalan Sign Language (LSC), and leverages the decomposition of handshapes into five phonological features shared across both languages, to decode LSC handshapes from predicted features via a composite pho...

From Pixels to Pairs: A Comprehensive Benchmark of LLM-Based Key-Value Extraction in Noisy Document Settings

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for structured information extraction from documents, yet their behavior under realistic OCR noise remains poorly understood. We present a systematic benchmark of open-source instruction-tuned LLMs for key-value pair (KVP) extraction under both clean-text and noisy OCR...

Interpretable Retinal Disease Prediction Using Biology-Informed Heterogeneous Graph Representations

Interpretability is crucial for utilizing machine learning models as clinical decision support tools for medical diagnostics. However, most state-of-the-art image classifiers based on neural networks are not interpretable. As a result, clinicians often resort to known biomarkers to guide diagnosis, although biomarker-b...

Breaking the Compression Barrier: Cross-Architecture Compression Boundary Learning via Reverse Regrowth

Model compression is critical for deploying networks on resource-constrained edge devices. While pruning-based methods can significantly reduce model size, they often suffer from abrupt performance collapse beyond a sparsity thresh-old, making it difficult to identify the feasible compression limit of the model. To add...

Prior-matched evaluation of operational Earth-observation classifiers: a three-number reporting method demonstrated on Sentinel-1 internal-wave detection

The Internal Waves Service screens the Sentinel-1 Wave-mode archive for internal solitary waves, routing detections to experts whose adjudication time is the resource the effort exists to conserve. Because attention is the cost of error, precision leads. Its classifier was trained and reported at a one-to-one class bal...

KITE: A Tri-Modal Transformer Integrating Text, Images, and Knowledge Graphs for Fake News Detection

Traditional fake news detection methods are falling behind as multimodal misinformation grows more advanced, seamlessly blending deceptive text, manipulated visuals, and factually incorrect claims. Most prior work focuses on text-image fusion or applies external knowledge only as a post-processing step, limiting their...

Instrument Classification of Solo Sheet Music Images

This paper studies instrument classification of solo sheet music. Whereas previous work has focused on instrument recognition in audio data, we instead approach the instrument classification problem using raw sheet music images. Our approach first converts the sheet music image into a sequence of musical "words" based...

Learning from Distributed Eyes: Leveraging Collaborative Perception for Automated Model Adaptation

In autonomous driving, perception models often struggle to generalize to new environments due to domain shifts. While unsupervised model adaptation offers a feasible solution without labor-intensive manual labeling, existing methods that rely solely on the ego-vehicle's data often lead to inferior pseudo-labeling perfo...

Beyond Random Couplings: Contrastive Noise Alignment in Generative Flows

This work introduces Contrastive Noise Alignment (CNA), a training-time method that creates dynamic, contrastive couplings by optimizing the noise representations directly, and shows theoretically that this equilibrium asymptotically preserves Gaussian structures, maintaining tractability during inference.

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.
