AccidentSim: Generating Vehicle Collision Videos with Physically Realistic Collision Trajectories from Real-World Accident Reports

Collecting real-world vehicle accident videos for autonomous driving research is challenging due to their rarity and complexity. While existing driving video generation methods may produce visually realistic videos, they often fail to deliver physically realistic simulations because they lack the capability to generate...

An Empirical Study into Clustering of Unseen Datasets with Self-Supervised Encoders

Can pretrained models generalize to new datasets without any retraining? We deploy pretrained image models on datasets they were not trained for, and investigate whether their embeddings form meaningful clusters. Our suite of benchmarking experiments uses encoders pretrained solely on ImageNet-1k with either supervised...

Measuring proximity to standard planes during fetal brain ultrasound scanning

A semi-supervised segmentation model that uses labeled SPs and unlabeled slices from 3D US volumes (non-SPs) that incorporates a classification mechanism to identify and filter out frames lacking the fetal brain, and to generate masks for those containing it, enhancing the relevance of plane pose regression in clinical...

Reflection-aware Generative Novel View Synthesis

Ref-GeNVS inherits the strong generalizability of the multi-view diffusion backbone, while it does not require finetuning, and outperforms recent generative NVS methods by generating reflection-consistent and contextually coherent novel views.

What Matters, When? Diagnosing and Improving Conditional Visual Grounding in Visuomotor Imitation Policies

Visuomotor imitation policies can achieve high performance under in-distribution visual conditions yet fail when visually similar objects or receptacles are introduced. We study this behavior as a problem of conditional visual grounding: the visual target required for successful control changes with the manipulation ph...

Lightweight Vision Transformer Compression for On-Device Plant Disease Detection in Resource-Constrained Agricultural Field Conditions

This work proposes a unified Vision Transformer compression framework that combines Hessian-Balanced Adaptive Block Pruning (H-BAC), guided by second-order sensitivity estimation, with quantization and attention-based knowledge distillation, and systematically identifies the most effective configuration within each com...

Adaptive Multi-Granularity Temporal Modeling for Weakly Supervised Video Anomaly Detection

An adaptive temporal modeling framework for WSVAD that explicitly accounts for variations in video dynamics across multiple temporal granularities is proposed and an adaptive similarity-based fusion strategy that dynamically integrates anomaly scores into video-level predictions is proposed, replacing fixed top-k aggre...

VICAL: Vicinal Consistency Alignment for Long-Tailed Visual Recognition

VICAL is introduced, a consistency-driven framework that improves long-tailed recognition not by enforcing expert diversity, but by reducing prediction variance, and suggests that multi-expert models benefit more from variance reduction than diversity maximization.

MCPO: Modality-Contrastive Preference Optimization for Multimodal Chain-of-Thought Compression

Modality-Contrastive Preference Optimization (MCPO), a highly sample-efficient two-stage length-compression method that requires fewer than 900 training samples, and adopts a highly nonlinear odds-ratio formulation that provides steep gradients in the with-image context to reinforce length constraints for preferred tra...

Methane Detection On Board Satellites from Unorthorectified Imagery

This work introduces UnorthoDOS, a dataset and approach for training machine learning models directly on unorthorectified hyperspectral imagery, bypassing both orthorectification and matched-filter products, and demonstrates the feasibility of onboard deployment.

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.
