Beyond Visual Quality: Evaluating Physical Consistency under Ego-Motion with EgoGenEval

EgoGenEval introduces EgoGenEval, a geometry-grounded, pose-free benchmark designed to evaluate the physical consistency of visual generators under ego-motion, and shows that pairwise supervision does not reliably improve camera-motion grounding and scene-state preservation together.

Beyond Benchmarks: Using VLMs to Reveal Systematic Classification Failures Under Real World Conditions

Verification and validation (V&V) of classification models is crucial to enable a wide range of sensor processing applications. Currently, the V&V process relies on time-consuming manual inspection of erroneous samples to find meaningful patterns. This work explores the use of Vision Language Models (VLMs) to speed up...

Toward Interpretable Multimodal Fusion: Heat Conduction Modeling for Hyperspectral and LiDAR Joint Classification

M2Heat is introduced, a physics-inspired framework that investigates multimodal fusion through the lens of heat conduction and indicates the potential of heat-conduction-guided neural operators for efficient and interpretable RS multimodal fusion.

AcFlow: Controlling Text-to-Image Diffusion Transformers via Learned Conditional Activation Flow

AcFlow is introduced, an inference-time controller that transports intermediate layer image-token activations through a learned concept-conditioned velocity field while keeping the base DiT frozen, and supports the learned velocity field as an adaptive control mechanism.

Learn the Solid, Not the File: Canonical Inputs for Neural Networks on CAD Boundary Representations

The canonical region graph is proposed, an input representation whose nodes, features and coordinate frame are derived from the solid itself and show theoretical invariance guarantees on repartitioning and rigid motions and matches the strongest baseline on standard benchmarks, and is stable under every perturbation th...

Measuring Browser Webcam Gaze Honestly: A Capture-Clock Methodology and Open Reference Implementation

Browser-based webcam gaze trackers are increasingly used for crowd-scale data collection and in clinical settings where lab eye trackers are impractical, but the reported latency numbers may not represent real world functionality. The common practice of timestamping each gaze sample when it is emitted, rather than when...

Prompting with Sign Parameters for Low-resource Sign Language Instruction Generation

Sign Parameter-Infused (SPI) prompting is introduced, which integrates standard SL parameters, like hand shape, motion, and orientation, directly into the textual prompts, which makes the instructions more structured and reproducible than free-form natural text from vanilla prompting.

Do Vision-Language Models Understand Visual Persuasiveness? A Diagnosis via Visual Persuasive Factors

This work introduces Visual Persuasive Factors (VPFs), a taxonomy informed by cognitive psychology for quantifying visual cues that shape persuasive judgments, and reveals that VPFs distinguish human persuasiveness judgments, whereas VLMs only partially reproduce these patterns.

MindTopo: Can Foundation Models Reason in Topological Space?

This work introduces MindTopo, a benchmark of topological intuition across five properties grounded in cognitive science and formal topology: continuity, separation, order, enclosure, and knots, which performs better on reasoning than on planning, and the best-performing model remains far below observed human performan...

BodyCam-VQA: Enhanced Body-Worn Camera Video Captioning via Multimodal Reasoning and Probe Question Generation

An Adaptive Visual Question Answering (VQA) framework engineered for high-stakes law enforcement that provides a more reliable, objective, and detailed record of enforcement events, ultimately serving as a powerful tool to protect both law enforcement officers and the public through AI-assisted forensic clarity.

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.
