Earth-Agent-Pro: Towards Real-World Full-Chain Earth Observation with Agents

Real-world Earth observation (EO) agents must translate high-level scientific questions into executable workflows to acquire observations, prepare data, perform domain computations, and derive conclusions from runtime evidence. Existing EO agents typically start from supplied observations, while benchmarks typically pr...

LettuceVisSim: A Simulator That Generates Lettuce Image Time-series for Vision-Based Reinforcement Learning

A demonstration showed that a lighting-control policy can be learned and applied by observing only crop images that were generated with LettuceVisSim, providing a proof of concept of vision-based reinforcement learning in CEA using LettuceVisSim.

Bridging Vision Foundation Model Priors with CLIP for Spatial-aware Few-shot Anomaly Detection in Medical Images

Vision-Language Models such as CLIP enable effective few-shot medical anomaly detection (AD) via strong image-text semantic alignment. However, their globally contrastive pretraining lacks explicit spatial supervision, limiting precise lesion localization. In contrast, Vision Foundation Models (VFMs) such as DINO learn...

IMPLY: Physically Anchored Consistency for World-Model Rollouts

IMPLY reads the physics each rollout implies by inverting a simulator and scores a set of rollouts by how well one object explains all of them, anchored to two calibration pushes the model has observed, and shows that this is not enough.

UFO: Chain-of-Evaluation for Omni-Condition Alignment in Multi-Modal Image Generation

UFO is proposed, the first unified framework for omni-condition alignment simultaneous evaluation, and UFO-Bench is presented, a dedicated benchmark designed to holistically evaluate the performance of existing customization models under the diverse mutual interactions of textual and visual conditions.

QuPAINT: Physics-Aware Multimodal Reasoning for Quantum Material Characterization

This work presents QuPAINT, a physics-aware multimodal framework for transferable quantum flake characterization, and substantially outperforms prior methods and establishes state-of-the-art performance for both general and monolayer flake detection.

USPLIT-VQA: U-Shaped Split Learning for Visual Question Answering with Contribution-Aware Weighted Aggregation

USPLIT-VQA is proposed, a U-shaped split learning framework for privacy-preserving VQA in which each client retains the initial layers and the classification head while the server hosts the computationally heavy intermediate layers, keeping raw inputs and labels on the client device.

MPT: Missing Prototype Tracking via Barycentric Reconstruction in Vehicular Federated Learning

MPT is presented, a cross-vehicle FL framework that maintains rare-class recognition by reconstructing its prototype at every round from privacy-preserving class-level statistics and outperforms all baselines in rare class F1, reaching 0.516 on the nuImages dataset.

Agentic AI and the Dissolution of Managerial Authority: Organisational Sensegiving in Autonomous Decision-Making Systems

Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) is shifting from decision support to autonomous coordination, challenging established assumptions about managerial authority. This qualitative conceptual paper synthesises recent literature in algorithmic management, organisational theory, and human-computer interaction to examine h...

Cheap Probes Predict Expensive Training in 3D-CT Vision-Language Models

Building a 3D CT vision language model begins with a choice of which image encoder to build on. Today that choice is made by fine-tuning every candidate through the full language model and comparing downstream scores, an enormously expensive search. A cheap probe on the encoder's representation promises a way out, but...

Self-supervision drives representational convergence in medical foundation models more than clinical supervision

Medical image encoders from different groups are increasingly treated as interchangeable, on the assumption that scale and clinical supervision concentrate their representations onto a shared structure. Whether this convergence is real, what produces it, and whether it is clinically usable are untested, and the similar...

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.
