The proposed TTIQ, a test-time reinforcement learning framework that harnesses image-question dependence for better vlm adaptation, combines image and question dependence with calibrated confidence to construct a response-level reward that favors jointly grounded responses.

Lunar orbital missions, such as Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, Kaguya/SELENE, Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory, and Lunar Prospector, among others, provide rich multi-instrument observations, but their heterogeneity in sampling, projection, and conventions limits reproducible machine learning (ML). We introduce...

CanAL, a closed-form water-filling allocation that gives important channels proportionally less noise, is derived and it is proved it strictly minimizes importance-weighted distortion at a fixed budget.
The synchronisation problem for one common movement, the rotation of an open hand about its long axis, is taken, and it is shown that it admits an exact solution needing no classifier, no training data and no calibration.

Abstract-LoRA is a method that pushes the boundaries of single-image style transfer through lightweight LoRA training on specific U-Net blocks in diffusion models, inspired by B-LoRA, and quantitatively improves the preservation of both style and content in the final outputs.
Part grounding is pointed to as the dominant bottleneck, a pattern that holds across all three model families and does not diminish with capability, so this bounds what a perfect part detector would offer rather than demonstrating a general model of mechanics.
When a video model generates physically incorrect motion, did it fail to learn the correct motion, or did it learn it but fail to use it? We show the latter: the correct motion remains available inside the model and can still be made to control the generated video. We train on videos where red masses oscillate slowly a...

Knowledge distillation aims to improve the performance of lightweight student models by transferring knowledge from larger and more powerful teacher models. However, a substantial size gap between teacher and student models often impedes effective knowledge transfer. Most existing approaches adopt a static, one-way tea...

One of the pivotal recent challenges in neural network interpretability is polysemanticity, where a single neuron is activated by multiple, often unrelated concepts, hindering clear functional understanding. Although prior work has explored this phenomenon, existing approaches remain architecture-specific and depend on...

Robert Smithson's 1970 land artwork Spiral Jetty, located in the north arm of Utah's Great Salt Lake, has alternated between submergence and exposure during severe lake decline. We analyze 1,744 co-registered Landsat 4-9 and Sentinel-2 image chips spanning every year and calendar month from 1984 to 2025. A 14-feature c...
Reading a social situation often depends on behavior, not words alone. We introduce FriendBench, a benchmark for inferring whether two people are already familiar or are meeting as strangers, from a 20-second clip of a dyadic ice-breaker conversation. Every pair answers the same type of prompt, so only the manner of in...

It is found that Humans and VLMs diverge in their responses -- though this is modulated by the type of questions asked, and that Humans answer similarly independent of where they are from (Lima/NYC), and that Humans answer similarly independent of where they are from (Lima/NYC).

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.
