For the datasets and models considered, pixel-level image-fidelity metrics alone may not consistently capture the task-relevant realism of synthetic sonar observations and motivate the use of task-aware evaluation for synthetic sensor data intended for robotic perception.

Fine-tuning a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model for a new deployment environment is expensive, yet most methods apply uniform-capacity adapters to every network region as if every region requires equal adjustment. This paper tests that assumption on five architecturally diverse VLAs (OpenVLA-OFT, $\pi_0$, SmolVLA, DTP...

Open-source video generative models ship almost exclusively as PyTorch/CUDA reference implementations. This leaves Cloud TPU pods without a production-ready inference path, despite offering large, cost-effective accelerator memory pools ideal for long-sequence spatiotemporal attention. We present vidax, an open-source...
We introduce Zing-0.5, a 5B autoregressive world model designed for playability: users can explore generated worlds, influence unfolding events, and respond to the resulting feedback through joint keyboard and online text control. Our approach brings together three technical contributions: (1) Unified action and text c...

An important component of urban accessibility, particularly for wheelchair users and people with reduced mobility, is sidewalk compliance with measurable requirements. We test whether effective width, longitudinal slope, cross slope, and pavement condition can be assessed reliably from pedestrian-level imagery using vi...

The proposed Temperon is a plain-SGD explorer for the first 43% of the epoch budget, then one scheduled hand-off that gives the entire final cosine anneal to a SAM-wrapped Muon refiner, which matches the best full-time-SAM recipe on accuracy everywhere while reaching the hardest common target on three of the four datas...
The Learned Perceptual Image Fusion Measure (LPIFM), among the earliest learned fusion assessors trained directly on dense human A/B/Tie comparisons, provides a scalable instrument for human-aligned fusion assessment, with the preference corpus, model weights, and code publicly available.

Vision-language models (VLMs) can produce confident answers without relevant visual evidence, a failure mode known as mirage reasoning (Asadi et al., 2026). To that end, we study pre-release mirage detection: deciding whether a VLM answer should be released or withheld. Our model-agnostic method, Text-Conditioned Layer...

This work proposes MINT (Multimodal Imaging-to-Speech Knowledge Transfer), a three-stage framework that transfers MRI-derived biomarker structure to speech during training and is the first demonstration of MRI-to-speech knowledge transfer for early Alzheimer's screening without imaging at inference.
ShotFinder is introduced, a benchmark that formalizes editing requirements as keyframe-oriented shot descriptions and introduces five types of controllable single-factor constraints: Temporal order, Color, Visual style, Audio, and Resolution.

This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the Ultralytics YOLO family, emphasizing architectural evolution, benchmarking, deployment, and emerging directions from YOLOv5 through YOLO27, and examines detection, segmentation, depth, classification, pose, oriented detection, tracking, export, quantization, and deplo...

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.
