Conditioned Initialization for Attention

This paper proposes conditioned initialization, a principled scheme that initializes attention weights to improve the spectral properties of the attention layer and shows that conditioned initialization can potentially reduce the condition number of the attention Jacobian, leading to more stable optimization.

NeuCME: Toward Dynamic Multimodal Continual Learning via Neural Combinatorics of Multiple Experts

This paper proposes NeuCME, a novel framework designed to effectively learn and integrate knowledge across tasks with varying modalities, and formulate an evaluation metric to quantify the dynamism of task sequences and then set up a comprehensive benchmark with different degrees of dynamism.

Selective Posterior Margin Regularization for Forward-Corrected Classification

This work introduces Selective Posterior Margin Regularization (SPMR), which preserves the Forward objective and converts this disagreement into a graded update on the clean classifier and transfers to estimated transitions, human annotations, architectural changes, and stronger Forward recipes.

Capsule Lens: Locating and Tracking Concept Geometry in Model Representations

Capsule Lens is introduced, a framework that matches the region a concept occupies with a simple, trackable geometric form, a capsule, defined by several interpretable parameters, fitted in closed form to each concept's geometry and validated on held-out samples.

Token-Oriented Semantic Communication with Pretrained Vision Transformers

Token communications realize the semantic communication principle at the granularity of transformer tokens, providing a promising direction for client--server collaborative inference in resource-constrained edge systems. However, directly transmitting token embeddings presents two practical challenges: substantial comm...

Fusing Perceptual Vision Experts with Multimodal Large Language Models for Explainable Plant Disease Diagnosis: From Benchmark Imagery to Real-World Robotic Field Validation

Accurate field plant disease diagnosis requires reliable fusion of uncertain and conflicting perceptual evidence. We present the Hybrid Hierarchical Multi-Agent Framework (H$^{2}$MAF), combining decision-level fusion of EfficientNet-B3 and ConvNeXt-Tiny with semantic arbitration by open-weight multimodal large language...

CIVA: Critic-Induced Value-Subspace Attacks on Visual World-Model Agents

Visual world-model agents such as DreamerV3 act through a recurrent latent state rather than a single observation, which weakens frame-wise observation attacks and makes their perturbations vary sharply over time under a strict per-frame perturbation constraint. We study white-box, causal, online attacks on such agents...

ReLATE: Reliability-Guided Evidence Fusion for Robust UAV-Satellite cross-view Geo-Localization

This paper presents ReLATE, a Reliable Evidence Learning framework with Adaptive Token Evidence Regulation, which realizes reliability-adaptive feature fusion during descriptor construction and achieves the best average corrupted-test performance among the compared methods while maintaining competitive accuracy on clea...

PruneGround: Plug-and-play Spatial Pruning for 3D Visual Grounding

3D Visual Grounding (3DVG) aims to localize target objects in 3D scenes given natural language descriptions. Existing approaches typically perform reasoning over the entire scene, leading to ambiguous predictions and high computational cost, especially in cluttered environments. We observe that many referential express...

Resonant Brane Splatting for Arbitrary-Scale Super-Resolution

Arbitrary-Scale Super-Resolution (ASR) reconstructs images at continuous magnification factors. Recent methods accelerate inference by replacing computationally heavy implicit neural decoders with explicit 2D Gaussian Splatting (GS). However, since standard Gaussians are smooth low-pass primitives, modeling edges and f...

Adaptive Densification for High-Fidelity and Efficient Sparse Gaussian Splatting in Arbitrary-Scale Super-Resolution

QuADA-GS is proposed, an approach that retains a powerful representational backbone but autonomously predicts where to allocate Gaussians relying strictly on the low-resolution input, providing an improved and competitive trade-off for ASR.

HAT-4D: Lifting Monocular Video for 4D Multi-Object Interactions via Human-Agent Collaboration

HAT-4D is proposed, the first agentic framework designed to reconstruct the 3D geometry, temporal dynamics, and physical interactions of multiple objects from a single video, accompanied by a novel multi-dimensional evaluation protocol focused on physical plausibility and temporal consistency.

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.
