Scenario-Independent Criticality Assessment and Prediction for Vulnerable Road Users in Autonomous Driving

Increasing safety is the primary objective of automated vehicles. Achieving this goal requires reliable safety metrics that incorporate safety-relevant factors such as object type, velocity, and criticality. A key capability of such metrics is the distinction between critical and non-critical objects, which is addresse...

Geometric-to-Semantic Spherical Transfer Learning for Cortical Sulci Labeling

A Geometric-to-Semantic Spherical Transfer Learning framework that outperforms fully supervised baselines trained from scratch on variable and tertiary sulci, confirming that learning the cortex shape is highly beneficial for identifying its rarest parts.

RiPPLE: Cross-Space Performance Prediction from Early Training for Neural Architecture Search

RiPPLE provides a whole-space ranking from a fractional anchor-training budget, with comparisons interpreted under their respective evaluation and cost protocols, and the results examine ranking quality, label efficiency, architecture selection, and the roles of readout, coverage, and propagation.

PLSP (Pre-hoc Liminal Space Profiling): OOD Prediction over Detection -- An Anticipatory Approach for Machine Learning Model Reliability

A dataset-independent metric called the CREDibility Score (CREDS) is proposed for OOD prediction and credibility curves are introduced to study the maximum credibility a model can attain and credibility heat maps are introduced to characterize pre-hoc model behavior across different datasets.

CLAP: Cross-Embodiment Video World Models are Zero-Shot Physical Simulators

State-of-the-art action-conditioned video models are typically restricted to a single robot embodiment, preventing them from leveraging the vast corpus of heterogeneous video data that contains rich signals for learning generalizable physics. To bridge this gap, we introduce CLAP, a framework for cross-embodiment actio...

DenseTRF: Texture-Aware Unsupervised Representation Adaptation for Surgical Scene Dense Prediction

Dense prediction tasks in surgical computer vision, such as segmentation and surgical zone prediction, can provide valuable guidance for laparoscopic and robotic surgery. However, these models often suffer from distribution shifts, as training datasets rarely cover the variability encountered during deployment, leading...

A Unified Conditional Flow for Motion Generation, Editing, and Intra-Structural Retargeting

A unified conditional-flow framework that casts generation, semantic editing, and intra-structural retargeting as condition-modulated transport within one text- and skeleton-conditioned rectified-flow model, replacing separate pipelines with a single conditional motion transport model while keeping the same-topology re...

A unified self-supervised framework for single-frame Fresnel CDI and overlapped ptychography

Ptychographic imaging at synchrotron and X-ray free-electron laser sources requires densely overlapping scans, which limits throughput and increases dose; extending coherent diffractive imaging to overlap-free operation on extended samples remains an open problem. We present a self-supervised inverse-mapping network fo...

Unified Text-Image Generation with Weakness-Targeted Post-Training

This work explores post-training to achieve fully unified text-image generation, where a model autonomously transitions from textual reasoning to visual synthesis within a single inference process, and enables improvements in multimodal image generation across four diverse, independent T2I benchmarks.

TestDG: Test-time Domain Generalization for Continual Test-time Adaptation

A novel online test-time domain generalization framework for CTTA, dubbed TestDG, which aims to learn features invariant to both current and previous test domains on the fly during testing, improving the potential for effective generalization to future domains.

Lumina-OmniLV: A Unified Multimodal Framework for General Low-Level Vision

It is demonstrated that separately encoding text and visual instructions, combined with co-training using shallow feature control, is essential to mitigate task ambiguity and enhance multi-task generalization and pave the way for more robust and generalizable low-level vision systems.

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.
