Enhancing Road Safety Through Multi-Camera Image Segmentation with Post-Encroachment Time Analysis

Results across multiple time intervals demonstrate the framework's ability to identify high-risk regions with sub-second temporal sensitivity and real-time edge throughput, generating 800 x 800 logarithmic heatmaps at an average of 2.68 FPS.

MM++: Post-Hoc Scale-Invariant Multilayer OOD Detection via Top-K Gated Feature Fusion

MM++ (Multilayer Mahalanobis++), a strictly post-hoc, and scale-invariant framework for Out-of-Distribution (OOD) detection, constructs a principled joint feature space that captures latent cross-layer correlations while mitigating early-layer noise.

Orthogonal Ensembles and Tested Explanations for Performer-Independent Body-Motion Emotion Recognition

This central contribution is a tested explanation suite: for a strong ensemble member, part-masking and counterfactual edits show that its decisions depend on motion-grounded body-region evidence, and this region saliency aligns with rule-based Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) attributes far more than with classical kinem...

Hardware-Accelerated Instance Segmentation for Resource-Constrained Space Robotics with Criticality Analysis

A deployment-oriented instance segmentation framework for resource-constrained lunar robotics that jointly addresses calibration and system-level fault exposure under strict compute constraints is presented and an integrated approach and a blueprint for a reliable and safe AI perception framework under space deployment...

Perceptually Regularized Diffusion Model for Image Super-Resolution

This work proposes a perceptually regularized diffusion framework that incorporates prior knowledge through perceptual-loss-based regularization, improving training convergence and encouraging the recovery of meaningful image features.

Linear Fusion MultiDiffusion for Fast Training-Free Spherical Panorama Generation

LF-MultiDiffusion is proposed, a training-free panorama generation method that extends MultiDiffusion to support linear projections between target and reference image spaces and achieves better visual quality, text alignment, and panoramic consistency than the strongest training-free baseline, while providing a 15.36%...

Morphology signal in whole slide image foundation models can automatically triage slides

Evaluations show that ranking WSIs based on predictions from zero-shot classification using WSI FMs accurately identifies slides with the most tumor, indicating that WSI FMs contain sufficient morphology signal to automatically triage slides.

Ten Architectures, One Error: Shared Failure Modes in Hyperspectral Classification under Spatially Disjoint Evaluation

A leakage-free evaluation protocol linking spatial separation to the model's receptive field is introduced, which shows that Macro-F1 drops by 0.147 on average and model rankings change by as many as five places, and reveals that all ten architectures misclassify largely the same pixels.

FORGE: Forward-Only Test-Time Adaptation for Integer-Only Vision Models on Microcontrollers

Vision models deployed on microcontrollers (MCUs) are quantized to integer-only arithmetic and run in inference-only runtimes that do not carry the machinery backpropagation needs: the standard tool for adapting a model to the distribution shift (sensor noise, blur, lighting) it meets in the field. Existing forward-onl...

PRISM: An Agentic Multi-Model Architecture for Proactive Safety in Autonomous Transportation Systems

Autonomous and intelligent transportation systems operate in complex urban environments where safety depends on interactions among vehicle behavior, environmental conditions, and vulnerable road users (VRUs) such as pedestrians and cyclists. Most advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) employ reactive mechanisms that...

A Unified Rate-Distortion Perspective on Vector, Product, and Scalar Quantization

Discrete visual tokenization, predominantly driven by vector, scalar, and product quantization, lacks a unified conceptual framework for understanding quantization tradeoffs. In this paper, we propose a unified rate--distortion perspective on modern discrete visual tokenization. By viewing quantization as lossy compres...

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.
