RA-CoA: Training-free Fashion Image Captioning via Retrieval-Augmented Chain-of-Attributes

RA-CoA is a model-agnostic approach that works with frozen VLMs to improve fine-grained attribute precision in product captions without the need for fine-tuning, and is proposed as a novel, training-free framework that disentangles fashion image captioning into two interpretable stages.

LPA-CWM: A Learned Physical Adjudicator for Motion Reasoning with Counterfactual World Models

Completeness-aware Motion Correspondence (CMC), a ground-truth-anchored evaluation protocol that jointly measures localization, trajectory completeness, visibility, and continuity, counting missing predictions as failures on visible dynamic points, is introduced.

GraMRAG: Orchestrating Multi-Agent Multi-Step Reasoning via Graph Memory with Reinforcement Learning

GraMRAG is proposed, a graph memory-guided multi-agent RAG framework that integrates a dynamic multimodal memory graph to enable stable, multi-step multimodal reasoning and introduces a vision-text bridged reasoning paradigm that unifies multi-scale entity cropping with a ReAct-style visual toolchain, enhancing the lon...

SGWIB:Sliced Gromov-Wasserstein Information Bottleneck for Video Highlight Detection

SGWIB is developed, an information-bottleneck framework for single-modal video highlight detection that learns compact bottleneck representations while preserving inter-segment temporal structure and Home-Away-Related Contextual Pseudo-Labels and a contextual disentanglement module that reduce sports-specific contextua...

GEAR: From Dynamic Encoding to Dynamic Activation in Social Trajectory Prediction

It is argued that dynamic social encoding does not necessarily imply dynamic social activation, and a generation-aware bias activation model is proposed, a generation-aware bias activation model for human trajectory prediction that consistently improves the resonance-based baseline and achieves competitive state-of-the...

ProtoCAM: Interpretable Few-Shot Mask-Guided Prototypical Learning for Breast Lesion Classification in Ultrasound Imaging

Breast ultrasound imaging plays an important role in the early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer, particularly for patients with dense breast tissue. However, developing reliable deep learning models for ultrasound analysis is challenging due to limited annotated medical data and the need for interpretable predi...

Pedestrian Crossing Intent Classification From Event-Based Vision Using Convolutional Spiking Neural Networks With Temporal Augmentation

This work presents an end-to-end pipeline that converts real-world driving footage from the Joint Attention in Autonomous Driving dataset into synthetic dynamic vision sensor (DVS) event streams using the v2e simulator, and trains a novel convolutional spiking neural network (Conv-SNN) with clip-consistent DVS augmenta...

Adaptive Conformal Redistribution for Inter-class Transitional Uncertainty in Medical Image Classification

Medical image classification is frequently complicated by transitional categories whose feature distributions overlap those of adjacent classes, producing ambiguous decision boundaries. Conformal prediction returns uncertainty-aware prediction sets, but these are not directly actionable in clinical screening, where a s...

Variational Template Matching with Statistical Fusion for Anomaly Detection in Patterned Structures

Anomaly detection in structured images is challenging in small-data settings where deep learning approaches are costly or impractical. Classical template matching is simple and interpretable but lacks robustness to geometric variations such as scale, rotation, and perspective. We propose a variational template matching...

LLaDA-UI: Bringing Block-wise Diffusion to Vision-Language GUI Agents

Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) achieve high decoding efficiency through block-parallel, arbitrary-order generation, making them attractive for latency-sensitive applications. GUI agents represent a natural testbed for this paradigm, as they must repeatedly perceive screen states and emit structured, spatially...

Multimodal-Multiresolution Foundation Model for Lunar Remote Sensing

Among adaptation strategies, LoRA matches or surpasses full fine-tuning on crater detection and IMP segmentation while using far fewer trainable parameters, whereas full fine-tuning performs best for ice prospectivity regression.

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.
