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.

MUSE: Benchmarking Large Vision-Language Models on Multi-Modal Understanding in Situated Education

MUSE decouples image annotation from question generation, enabling diverse tasks with controllable difficulty while reducing annotation effort, and it is hoped MUSE will serve as a standardized benchmark for advancing multi-modal understanding in situated educational applications.

ERPBench: A State-Grounded Evaluation Paradigm for Computer-Use Agents in Enterprise Software

ERPBench is introduced, a benchmark that evaluates screenshot-only agents on a live and reproducible system and scores each task against ground-truth values in its database and presents a production-grade harness that gates agent actions behind human approval for safe deployment.

Graph Neural Assisted Actor-Critic for Latency-Efficient Edge Vision System

UAV on-board vision systems are widely used for different activities, including monitoring in no-fly zones. In this case, the vision-equipped UAV streams a video to a ground server where an operator assists its activities. The latency of video transmission has a profound impact on the effectiveness of the operator assi...

T2T-VICL: Cross-Task Visual In-Context Learning via Implicit Text-Driven VLMs

Visual in-context learning (VICL) solves visual tasks by conditioning on a few input-output demonstrations without any model training. Recent advances in large vision-language models (VLMs) have shown promising VICL capability when the demonstration pair and the query belong to the same vision task, but real use cases...

RoofSeg: An edge-aware transformer-based network for end-to-end roof plane segmentation

A novel edge-aware transformer-based network, named RoofSeg, is developed for segmenting roof planes from LiDAR point clouds in a truly end-to-end manner and an Edge-Aware Mask Module (EAMM) is designed that sufficiently incorporates planar geometric prior of edges to enhance its discriminability for plane instance mas...

CLIP Embeddings for AI-Generated Image Detection: A Few-Shot Study with Lightweight Classifier

This work investigates whether CLIP embeddings inherently contain information indicative of AI generation, and proposes a proposed pipeline that extracts visual embeddings using a frozen CLIP model, feeds its embeddings to lightweight networks, and fine-tunes only the final classifier.

Same Answer, Different Representations: Hidden instability in VLMs

A representation-aware and frequency-aware evaluation framework that measures internal embedding drift, spectral sensitivity, and structural smoothness (spatial consistency of vision tokens), alongside standard label-based metrics is introduced.

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.
