Bigger Text Encoders Can Hurt CLIP Zero-Shot Performance

Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (CLIP) is a building block of many machine learning applications. Scaling laws have guided resource allocation for large-scale training, yet prior work treats total CLIP model size as a single variable, without exploring how the capacity split between encoders impacts downstream p...

Full-Page Optical Music Recognition of Handwritten Monophonic Scores

Full-page end-to-end Optical Music Recognition seeks to transcribe entire music pages directly into symbolic notation, avoiding the limitations of traditional pipelines that rely on accurate staff segmentation. Recent Transformer-based architectures have achieved strong performance on typeset scores, relying on large-s...

ViT3Flow: A Test-Time Training Transformer MeanFlow for Postoperative Radiograph Synthesis in Scoliosis

Extensive experiments on ScoliSurg demonstrate that ViT$^{3}$Flow achieves the best performance among the compared methods in perceptual image quality, anatomical fidelity, and clinically relevant geometric accuracy, while requiring only a single network evaluation.

Subject-Relative Micro-Motion and Sleep Dynamics for Near-Infrared Video Sleep Staging

Results support NIR video as an independently informative and complementary modality for PSG-defined sleep-stage estimation, and propose ViNUSS (Video-Native Unmediated Sleep Staging), a framework that combines subject-relative micro-motion learning with full-night sleep dynamics modeling.

Knowing When Not to Answer: Abstention and Refusal Reasoning in Vision--Language Models

PARITY (Paired Assessment with Reused Identity), a synthetic, demographically balanced set of identity-controlled neutral/expression portrait pairs with neutral-neutral controls, is introduced, finding a clear split between refusal-first models and speculative models; in the latter, certain expressions disproportionate...

Dual-Latent Memory Routing for Vision-Language Reasoning

DLMR is a parameter-efficient mechanism that equips MLLMs with Dual Latent Memories: a visual memory that compresses image evidence and a reasoning memory that tracks intermediate conclusions and constraints with only a small number of additional trainable parameters.

Diffusion models for eye-gaze trajectory generation using position and velocity representations

Overall, unconditional diffusion captures local gaze kinematics and short-range temporal and directional structure, while long-range properties such as saccade counts and cumulative path geometry remain targets for future conditioned models.

CrossModalQA: A Cross-modal and Multi-hop Benchmark for Multimodal Retrieval-augmented Generation

CrossModalQA is introduced, an open-domain benchmark for evaluating multimodal retrieval and reasoning over heterogeneous corpora and it is revealed that complete cross-modal retrieval contributes more to answer accuracy than generator scaling, while multi-image retrieval and reasoning remain the primary bottlenecks li...

Emergent Goal-Directed Attention in Large Vision-Language Models

Testing off-the-shelf vision-language models shows that general-purpose VLMs can generate human-aligned, goal-directed spatial priorities without gaze-specific training, informing theories of goal-directed attention and offering scalable tools for predicting where people look across tasks.

RevalExo: A Functional Daily-Activity Benchmark for Inertial and Visual Locomotion Mode Recognition in Older Adults and Clinical Cohorts

RevalExo benchmarks unimodal and multimodal locomotion mode recognition across multiple horizons, cross-population generalization from older adults without mobility impairments to clinical cohorts, and vision-guided knowledge transfer to IMU-only models.

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.
