MamMA: A Mamba-Based Pedestrian Trajectory Prediction Algorithm Considering Occupancy Map and Pedestrian Awareness States

MamMA, a Mamba-based pedestrian trajectory prediction algorithm considering occupancy maps and pedestrian awareness states is proposed, which achieves better average displacement error and final displacement error than the state-of-the-art algorithms.

Flexible Motion Generation from Language and Style References

FlexMoGen generates high-quality motions that preserve semantic content while faithfully reflecting the target style, offering users greater control over the animation generation process, and demonstrates that FlexMoGen achieves the best balance between content fidelity and style reflection.

JEDI: JEPA-to-Edge Distillation for Efficient Cropland Segmentation from Satellite Imagery

Large vision models provide useful representations for remote-sensing segmentation but are often too expensive for deployment at the satellite or field edge. Existing feature-level distillation methods also tend to assume similar teacher and student architectures and often stop feature alignment when task training begi...

Cross-modal learning for SAR target recognition using optical vision foundation models

This work proposes a cross-modal EO to SAR prototype alignment framework in which a frozen EO encoder, based on a DINOv3 vision foundation model, is used to construct class level optical prototypes without requiring strict EO/SAR pairs.

Spatial Feature-wise Linear Modulation (SpFiLM) for Contrast Agent-Aware Brain Parcellation

Most automated brain parcellation tools are developed and validated on T1-weighted (T1w) MRI. Yet, some clinical workflows for which parcellation is relevant only use contrast-enhanced T1w (T1ce) MRI, on which T1w-trained models are less accurate. We present a unified network that parcellates both pre- and post-contras...

Heat Kernel Textures: the Geodesic Gaussians That Do Not Splat

Heat Kernel Textures (HKTex) eliminate UV unwrapping as well as their persistent issues of wasted UV space, seams, distortions, vertex-duplication, and varying resolution.

Multi-label versus multi-class classification of blood cells and their aggregates in microfluidic channels

It is shown that, unlike MC classification, ML classification can identify cell aggregates not represented in the training data, and it also avoids the need for exhaustive, strictly defined aggregate labels, thereby simplifying and speeding up annotation.

Detect Anything in Graphic Design: Element-Level Rewards for Autoregressive Detection

EleRPO is proposed, which extends GRPO from sequence-level supervision to element-level optimization, and provides fine-grained training signals that capture how each detected element contributes to overall detection quality, and works synergistically with compositional order to improve detection performance.

Contextual Observer Grounding: Evaluating Situated Spatial Reasoning in Vision-Language Models

Reasoning over language instructions in embodied tasks such as robotics often requires understanding spatial relations from a speaker's situated perspective. Humans infer such perspectives from shared environmental knowledge, activity context, and commonsense. Recent vision-language models (VLMs) appear capable of spat...

Large-Scale Pretraining for Improving Deep Learning-Based Geometric Distortion Correction of Diffusion-Weighted Imaging

Pretrained models outperformed the non-pretrained baseline and cWDM achieved the strongest results across both quantitative and qualitative evaluation, suggesting that harmonized preprocessing may enhance cross-domain deployment.

Separating Capability from Confidence: Grounded Dual-State Calibration for GRPO-Trained Medical Vision-Language Models

DualRead builds on the insight that reliability can be read from the actor's internal states at critical moments in the answering process and improves correctness discrimination and calibration over verbalized confidence while preserving answer accuracy.

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.
