Multimodal Cultural Heritage Architectural Style Classification for Residential Buildings in the UAE Based on CLIP Embeddings and SVM

The analysis and classification of cultural heritage architectural styles remain challenging due to the complexity of visual images of buildings, which are highly relied on in traditional CNN-based classification approaches in comparison to textual descriptions, and the relative lack of non-western region-specific data...

MUMINS: Metadata-conditioned Uncertainty-aware Medical Image Next-state Synthesis

An efficient diffusion framework that jointly diffuses a baseline scan and its follow-up residual, summed to synthesize the follow-up scan, while concurrently predicting a spatial uncertainty map, in a single reverse diffusion process is proposed.

Beyond In-Distribution Metrics: A Systematic Out-of-Distribution Evaluation of Congenital Heart Disease Segmentation

It is shown that conventional in-distribution evaluation can obscure clinically important generalization failures and support explicit cross-dataset testing as a key component of CHD segmentation evaluation, and conventional in-distribution evaluation can obscure clinically important generalization failures.

RegRet: Enhancing Region-Level Retrieval in Large Multimodal Models

Region-level retrieval aims to align user-specified image regions with relevant regions or textual descriptions, playing a crucial role in realworld applications such as e-commerce product search and RAG. Although recent Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) have made significant strides in multimodal retrieval, they primaril...

StackTok: Accelerating VLMs Inference with Budget-Adaptive Visual Token Selection

StackTok is introduced, a training-free selector that treats query relevance as the objective and visual coverage as budget-calibrated support in vision-language models and ranks first among training-free selectors in every tested model--budget setting.

What Breaks Local Watermarks? A Robustness Benchmark for Local Invisible Image Watermarking

This work presents the first systematic robustness benchmark for local watermark robustness across 55 image transformations, and finds that signal distortions are often tolerated by the strongest methods, while geometric misalignment and generative local edits can completely impair payload recovery.

Efficient Text-to-Image Generation: An Adaptive Step Schedule Controller for Diffusion Models

This work proposes an adaptive diffusion controller that dynamically adjusts the number of steps to generate high-quality images efficiently, without additional model training, by leveraging a mixture of step schedules with varying step sizes.

ProtoLIP: From Sentence-Level to Object-Level Evidence Disentanglement

To disentangle visual evidence at both semantic and spatial levels, ProtoLIP is introduced, a lightweight prototype-mediated evidence layer that organizes reusable visual prototypes into text-derived semantic families and uses coarse-to-fine evidence routing, where semantic families constrain prototype eligibility and...

SceneBench: A Hierarchical Benchmark for Vision-Language Understanding of 3D Scenes

SceneBench is introduced, a benchmark of 966 photorealistic 3D scenes reconstructed with Gaussian Splatting and densely annotated with hierarchical semantics spanning scenes, rooms, functional areas, object groups, and individual objects that provides a realistic testbed for developing and evaluating models capable of...

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.
