Vision transformers typically treat every image token as equally important, yet for most tasks in computer vision only a fraction are needed. Adaptive computation methods accelerate inference by choosing which tokens to process, but existing methods struggle at extreme sparsity and require heuristics that may not gener...

LARK (Latent-Aligned Reasoning frameworK), a two-stage latent reasoning framework with complementary alignment mechanisms within a single VLM, achieves state-of-the-art performance across multiple recommendation architectures, with controlled ablations confirming the distinct contribution of each component.
This work studies whether gaze data representation choice can serve as a lightweight privacy control at feature extraction, before adding perturbation or formal privacy mechanisms, and compares three gaze representations under matched model capacity.

We explore the use of simulated data for training a model for protein annotation in crowded cryo-electron tomography volumes reconstructed from images collected at limited tilt angles and severely corrupted by the measurement operator. Firstly, we leverage the corruptions imposed by the forward model to generate domain...

Extensive ablation, slope stratified, and cross year seasonal analyses demonstrate that the improvements arise from effective frequency rectification and structure learning, which reduce steep terrain false positives and low slope rice omissions.

Existing person search methods assume access to complete visual queries or exhaustive tracking, yet real-world witness accounts are vague, partial, and spread across cameras and time. We introduce ARGOS (Agentic Retrieval with Grounded Observational Search), a benchmark and agent framework that recasts multi-camera per...

Spatial reasoning is foundational for Vision-Language Models (VLMs), particularly when deployed as Vision-Language-Action (VLA) agents in physical environments. However, existing benchmarks predominantly focus on elementary, single-hop relations, neglecting the multi-hop compositional reasoning and precise visual groun...

A Post Fusion Stabilizer (PFS), a lightweight module that operates on intermediate BEV representations of existing detectors and produces a refined feature map for the original detection head that preserves performance while improving robustness under diverse camera and LiDAR corruptions.

AnchorWeave is introduced, a memory-augmented video generation framework that replaces a single misaligned global memory with multiple clean local geometric memories and learns to reconcile their cross-view inconsistencies.

Mathematical reasoning is a key capability for vision-language models (VLMs), yet current benchmarks mainly evaluate text-based or explicitly symbolic visual inputs. It remains unclear whether VLMs can reason mathematically when information must be perceived and inferred from images rather than read from explicit symbo...

Unified vision-language models (VLMs) aim to support both visual understanding and generation within a single framework, but it remains unclear when mixed training benefits both capabilities and when it introduces conflicts. This paper presents a controlled empirical study of cross-task generalization between understan...

Exploring how generative AI could make machine vision more accessible to businesses. The post GenEye in a Box: Making Machine Vision Something You Can Just Ask For appeared first on GPT-Lab.
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.
Computer scientist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist will collaborate with the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing to advance AI and scientific discovery.
