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...
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...

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.

Near-infrared (NIR) imaging does not consistently outperform standard color cameras for daytime agricultural traversability once spatial data leakage is eliminated. Prior benchmarks suggesting an NIR advantage used sequence-level splits that permitted spatially autocorrelated imagery into test sets, artificially inflat...

Generating human-centric videos that preserve both visual identity and person-specific expressive behavior remains a fundamental challenge. In addition to reproducing appearance, a model must replicate the facial behaviors that characterize how a subject expresses emotion over time. However, most state-of-the-art metho...

This work presents TryOnReward, a fine-grained reward model tailored for VTON that significantly outperforms generic judges in human preference alignment, and when serving as the RFT reward function, it consistently yields human-preferred try-on results across multiple baselines.

The Compute-Value Audit (CVA) is introduced, a sequential framework that asks whether extra sampling creates opportunity, observable signals provide a reliable state, that state supports a beneficial action, and the resulting gain exceeds the full entry fee of generation and verification.
Bistable images such as the duck-rabbit are classic stimuli in which one image supports multiple mutually incompatible interpretations, typically reported one at a time in humans. We ask whether multimodal large language models (MLLMs) show similar report behavior and what internal computations support it. Using the LL...

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) cannot process every frame of a long video because of limitations in visual-token and computational budgets. Three primary approaches have been proposed to enhance their long-video understanding capabilities: (i) Retraining an MLLM on a large video corpus and/or extending its in...
This survey traces the evolution from LM-driven SemCom to TokenCom, and examines the token abstraction, the transmission techniques it requires, and two emerging paradigms, namely TokenCom for LM services and for embodied and agentic intelligence.
Voxel-spacing-aware extraction separates geometric modeling from interpolation-induced signal modification while preserving the native image signal, offering a coherent alternative to isotropic resampling for radiomic analysis of anisotropic CT and MRI.

Overall, test-time augmentation over a small set of known rotations is the most consistent driver of accuracy, whereas the best-performing representation is strongly backbone-dependent, whereas the best-performing representation is strongly backbone-dependent.

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.
