VisCAD: A Foundation Model Suite with Multimodal Industrial CAD Intelligence

VisCAD is presented, a foundation model suite designed to provide both broad generalization and strong CAD capability for realistic industrial products that includes a domain-specific harness that leverages frontier models for complex assembly generation and demonstrates advantages over general-purpose harnesses in bot...

KnowVis: Knowledge-Centric Visual Summarization for Video Lectures

KnowVis is proposed, a framework that transforms linear video lectures into pedagogically grounded visual narratives, and generates more accurate and clear visuals that successfully reduce cognitive load and significantly improve student learning effectiveness and knowledge retention.

MedQA-MM: Shortcuts Behind Medical Visual Reasoning

A benchmark score credits final answers, but not the route by which an item can be answered. In medical multimodal multiple-choice questions (MCQs), this distinction matters because a correct answer can be supported by the intended image finding or by benchmark-preserved cues in the wording of answers, non-visual clini...

Learning to Zoom Efficiently with a Contrastive Curriculum

This work proposes a new intrinsic reward for learning tool use in MLLMs without the need for additional labels or warm-start SFT, and finds that recall is the metric that most strongly correlates the zoom-in region with final task performance.

Jina-OCR-v1: Efficient Document Parsing with Speculative Decoding and Dense Verifiable Rewards

Jina-OCR-v1 is presented, an end-to-end document parsing model built to serve on low-budget GPUs that combines the compressed-vision encoder and the 3B mixture-of-experts decoder of DeepSeek-OCR with a FastMTP speculative decoding head that shares a single draft block recursively across K=3 prediction steps.

Hierarchical Channel Stacking: A Structured Decision Framework for AI-Generated Image Detection

HCS is introduced, a compact framework for AI-generated image detection that converts intermediate CNN activations into a structured 60-dimensional representation organized across three progressively deeper backbone stages that achieves 86.7% accuracy and 86.7% macro-F1 on the held-out test set.

Spectral Gating via Damped Oscillations for Adaptive Implicit Neural Representations

This work proposes to model each neuron's activation as the steady-state response of a sinusoidally-forced damped harmonic oscillator, whose amplitude naturally governs the network's spectral selectivity during training, and achieves state-of-the-art or competitive results against established INRs, while requiring no t...

A Real-Calibrated Synthetic-First Data Engine

It is shown that synthetic data improves a real-data baseline when used as near-zero-human-annotation-cost augmentation alongside real anchors, while synthetic-only training remains substantially below real-only performance, highlighting the practical value of data-centric orchestration for low-data augmentation.

Towards Lifelong Aerial Autonomy: Geometric Memory Management for Continual Visual Place Recognition in Dynamic Environments

Heterogeneous memory and diversity-aware replay provide an effective basis for continual aerial VPR in mapped operating areas and introduce DBS-Hybrid, which combines prototype-based diversity trimming with representative-first feature-space coverage.

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.
