Visual Perception Engine: Fast and Flexible Multi-Head Inference for Robotic Vision Tasks

Deploying multiple machine learning models on resource-constrained robotic platforms for different perception tasks often results in redundant computations, large memory footprints, and complex integration challenges. In response, this work presents Visual Perception Engine (VPEngine), a modular framework designed to e...

From Alignment to Synthesis: Contrastive Volumetric Grounding for Text-to-CT Generation

Generating semantically controllable 3D CT volumes from radiology reports requires more than a rich text encoder, it requires vision-language alignment grounded in volumetric space. Existing Text-to-CT approaches condition generation on encoders pretrained with language only or 2D vision-language objectives, providing...

CompArt: Operationalizing Aesthetic Alignment in Text-to-Image Generation via Principles of Art

This work proposes Aesthetic Alignment: aligning generated images to explicit, user-specified compositional constraints using the Principles of Art (PoA), and introduces CompArt, a dataset of 80,032 WikiArt images augmented with captions and PoA analyses produced by a multimodal LLM under structured prompting.

Tabular Deep Learning vs Classical Machine Learning for Urban Land Cover Classification

Urban Land Cover (ULC) classification plays a crucial role in urban planning, environmental monitoring, and sustainable development. We study this task using the ULC dataset from the UCI Machine Learning Repository, which includes tabular features derived from high-resolution aerial imagery across nine classes (e.g., r...

Automated Dental Caries Segmentation in Panoramic Radiographs Using Dual-Stage Deep Learning

Early detection of dental caries remains challenging due to limitations in traditional diagnostic methods, particularly for proximal lesions in posterior teeth. Deep learning models show promise for automated caries detection but face scalability constraints due to requirements for large volumes of expertly annotated t...

Dose-Aware Cold Diffusion with Physics Consistency for Generalizable Low-Dose CT Reconstruction

Reducing radiation dose in computed tomography significantly degrades image quality and poses challenges for accurate and clinically reliable reconstruction. While recent approaches have shown promise for low-dose CT, they often struggle to generalize across continuous and previously unseen dose levels, leading to arti...

Using OCR Heads to Verbalize Image Semantics

Across four models, attention heads causally necessary for OCR are identified, and it is discovered that these are in fact general-purpose heads that output interpretable semantic features across all image tokens.

GenStream: Semantic Streaming Framework for Generative Reconstruction of Human-centric Media

Video streaming dominates global internet traffic, yet conventional pipelines remain inefficient for structured, human-centric content such as sports, performance, or interactive media. Standard codecs re-encode entire frames, foreground and background alike, treating all pixels uniformly and ignoring the semantic stru...

On-the-Fly Homographies Calibration for Multi-Camera Tracking

Precise multi-camera tracking traditionally relies on rigorous 3D site calibration, yet this requirement is often operationally impossible in large-scale deployments. Privacy regulations frequently prohibit recording video for offline calibration; limited bandwidth precludes synchronizing high-resolution streams from h...

ActionPiece: Rethinking Action Tokenization for Autoregressive Vision-Language-Action Models

This work introduces physical rank consistency (PRC) to measure how well tokenization preserves local physical distance rankings after reconstruction, and presents ActionPiece, which preserves physical action relationships through joint supervision of representation learning and quantization.

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.
