Bridging the Synthetic-to-Real Gap for Few-Shot Cryo-ET Classification

Subtomogram classification in cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) is a challenging problem due to the scarcity of labeled examples. While cryo-ET simulators can be adopted to generate unlimited synthetic data, the substantial domain gap between synthetic and real subtomograms hinders its practical utilization. In this w...

Harnessing Image Question Dependence for Better VLM Test-time Reinforcement Learning

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.

SomBench: Benchmark Dataset for Advancing Machine Learning in Lunar Science

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...

A Chosen Future Can Still Be Rewritten: Causal Writability in Video Models

It is shown that when a video model generates physically incorrect motion, the correct motion remains available inside the model and can still be made to control the generated video, and a stronger downstream write can restore physical motion, while excessive gain overshoots.

Discovering and Preserving Category Correlation Knowledge via Adaptive Reciprocal Knowledge Distillation

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...

SPICE: Simple Polysemantic Feature Interpretation via Clustering-based Explanation

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...

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.
