EraseSAE: Surgical Concept Erasure in Text-to-Video Diffusion Models via Sparse Autoencoders

Recent advances in text-to-video (T2V) diffusion models have demonstrated remarkable generative capabilities, yet their reliance on loosely curated training data raises pressing safety and copyright concerns. Concept erasure offers a principled remedy by removing unwanted semantics from pretrained models while preservi...

How Far Can Synthetic Data Take Thai OCR?

It is found that synthetic-only training can be competitive, and the 0.9B-parameter PaddleOCR-VL-1.6 is adapted into Wayu-Paxa-OCR-Zero, a Thai OCR model adapted without OCR labels from real Thai document pages, showing that synthetic-only training can be competitive.

TruncGradGS: Improved 3D Gaussian Splatting via Truncated Gradient Updates

This paper proposes a method to address gradient vanishing with a piecewise truncated gradient formulation that improves the optimization stability and robustness to initializations and introduces a novel dataset for benchmarking dynamic Gaussian Splatting using synthetic 3D scenes.

Tree species mapping in Denmark: A comparison of spectral-temporal features with geospatial foundation model embeddings

The resulting map, released as an open-access product, is the first high-resolution national tree species map of Denmark and provides a valuable resource for forest monitoring, ecological research, and land management applications.

Exploring the Potential of Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training for Multi-Source Remote Sensing Data

OmniRSCLIP is an end-to-end contrastive learning framework that supports multi-source sensor inputs for remote sensing vision-language modeling and introduces a spectral-context-aware mask-based contrastive learning scheme to suppress modality-specific redundant features and enhance fine-grained image-text alignment.

SVG-Score: Human-Aligned Evaluation of Text-to-SVG Generation

This work introduces a human-aligned evaluation framework for text-to-SVG generation, and develops two complementary evaluators: CLIP scorers adapted to vector graphics and then aligned to human preferences, for fast large-scale evaluation and a VLM judge trained with supervised fine-tuning and reward-shaped reinforcem...

SciFigQual-Bench: A Benchmark for Scientific Figure Quality Assessment with Full-Manuscript Context

This work proposes SciFigQual-Bench, a full-text contextual benchmark that evaluates scientific image across five dimensions (clarity, layout,captionfit, contextrelevance, andmisleadingrisk), and develops SFQ-Agent to achieve auditable and refined scoring through the collection and fusion of modal evidence.

To Erase, or Not to Erase: Robust Training-Free Concept Erasure with Preservation aware Adaptive Ranked Subspace Expansion

Experiments on NSFW, artistic style, and object erasure, with a large-scale robustness-utility analysis over many CET baselines, show that PARSE erases multiple concepts robustly without sacrificing post-edit utility.

Visual Contrastive Self-Distillation

This work proposes Visual Contrastive Self-Distillation, namely VCSD, which converts image-content removal into an on-policy self-distillation signal, and consistently outperforms matched OPSD across Qwen3-VL and Qwen3.5 models.

ProsMAE: Multi-Source MAE Pretraining for ISUP Grade Classification

A multi-source Masked Autoencoder (MAE) framework, named ProsMAE, for histopathology representation learning, which achieved a higher mean validation quadratic weighted kappa (QWK) than the vanilla MAE frozen linear-probe baseline under the evaluated disjoint PANDA split.

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.
