CSWAM: Better Causal Semantic Representations for Out-of-Distribution Generalization in World Action Models

The Causal Semantic World Action Model (CSWAM) is presented, which augments FastWAM with a causal semantic expert built on V-JEPA 2.1, which provides temporally grounded representations of semantic state changes and motion with less dependence on appearance-specific details.

A Non-Linear Neuron Based Detection of Isolated Pixels in Binary and Grayscale Images using Contrast Sensitive Receptive Fields

A novel method is proposed for detecting meaningful single-pixel deviations in images that is free from user-specified thresholds and parameters, and can be applied to both binary and grayscale images, providing an effective, robust and efficient solution.

A Lightweight CNN Integrated Compact Convolutional Transformer for Multi-Scale Feature Learning and reducing computational complexity for breast cancer mammography image detection and classification

Lighter than ViT, which is effective in capturing long-range dependencies, the proposed CNN-integrated CCT has also proven efficient in breast cancer classification by capturing long-range dependencies among breast tissue regions.

Mask 2D-3D: Adaptive Dual-Masked Autoencoder Network for Image-to-Point Cloud Registration

The Intermodal Dual-MAE Framework with a Similarity-based RL Masking Strategy (SRLM) is proposed, which adaptively masks informative positions by leveraging cross-modal similarity and reinforcement learning, thus narrowing the modality gap.

Newer Is Not Fairer: Gender Stereotyping in Text-to-Image AI Across Model Generations

Text-to-image generative models are widely used in professional and creative settings, yet how they represent gender across occupations -- and whether newer models are fairer -- remains poorly understood across multiple generations. We evaluate gender representation across 20 occupations, 5 prompt templates, and 4 Stab...

EDCT-Bench: Uncovering Faithfulness Gaps in VLMs via Explanation-Driven Counterfactual Testing

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) can produce Natural Language Explanations (NLEs) that sound plausible yet remain inconsistent with the visual evidence they cite. We present Explanation-Driven Counterfactual Testing (EDCT), an intervention-based protocol that extracts visual concepts cited in a model's explanation, applie...

RoboVAD: A Large Cross-Domain Evaluation Benchmark for Anomaly Detection in Robotic Arm Manipulation Videos

While the proposed method outperforms many state-of-the-art competitors, all methods remain below a micro-averaged frame-level AUC threshold of 70% in the most challenging evaluation setup, confirming the difficulty of the proposed benchmark.

QiT: Quantum-Inspired Transformer for Visual Recognition Task

QT is introduced, a Quantum-inspired Transformer for vision tasks with three components: angle-inspired encoding that maps image tokens to learned trigonometric Hilbert-space features analogous to quantum rotation-based state encoding; self-attention over these periodic features, inducing a classical cosine kernel appr...

Pay Only for Disagreement: Certified No-Regression Verdicts for Model Updates with Matching Label-Complexity Bounds

This work formalizes update promotion as certified paired risk-difference auditing as well as building DISCERN, a sequential two-tier protocol that proves finite-sample validity and matching label-complexity bounds of order rho^2/eps^2 at the rate level.

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.
