ExpertHTR: Unified Handwritten Text Recognition with Multi-Task Learning and Sparse Mixture-of-Experts

Experiments on seven heterogeneous handwriting benchmarks show that complementary supervision consistently improves training with page transcription alone, while joint multi-source training provides further gains on most datasets, and the proposed sparse expert model further improves the dense baseline on six of the se...

What Did the MLLM Hear? Token-Level Spectro-Temporal Grounding for Audio MLLM Explainability

STAG is introduced, to the authors' knowledge the first post-hoc framework for token-level spectro-temporal grounding of captions generated by audio-based MLLMs, and provides behavioral support for the faithfulness and selectivity of the explanations.

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.

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

This work proposes DenseTRF, a self-supervised representation adaptation framework based on texture-centric attention that leverages slot attention to learn texture-aware representations that capture invariant visual structures and significantly improves robustness to domain shifts.

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...

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.
