Beyond Static Visual Tokens: Structured Sequential Visual Chain-of-Thought Reasoning

A question-relevant saliency map identifies and organizes key visual regions, explicitly modeling the spatial distribution of visual importance, and induces a curriculum-like semantic progression from primary to secondary cues, validating structured and sequential visual cognition.

PhyGile: Physics-Prefix Guided Motion Generation for Agile General Humanoid Motion Tracking

PhyGile performs physics-prefix-guided robot-native motion generation at inference time, directly generating robot-native motions in a 262-dimensional skeletal space with physics-guided prefixes, thereby eliminating inference-time retargeting artifacts and reducing generation-execution discrepancies.

EReCu: Pseudo-label Evolution Fusion and Refinement with Multi-Cue Learning for Unsupervised Camouflage Detection

This work proposes a unified UCOD framework that enhances both the reliability of pseudo-labels and the fidelity of features, and introduces the Multi-Cue Native Perception module, which extracts intrinsic visual priors by integrating low-level texture cues with mid-level semantics.

Toward Generalizable Deep Learning Based Peatland Fire Detection via Walsh Hadamard Transform and Domain Adaptation

An efficient deep learning framework for peatland fire detection based on a Walsh--Hadamard Transform enhanced ResNet-50 (WHT-ResNet-50), which improves feature representation while reducing model complexity and reduces inference cost while preserving detection accuracy is proposed.

R3G: A Reasoning-Retrieval-Reranking Framework for Vision-Centric Answer Generation

R3G, a modular Reasoning-Retrieval-Reranking framework, first produces a brief reasoning plan that specifies the required visual cues, then adopts a two-stage strategy, with coarse retrieval followed by fine-grained reranking, to select evidence images.

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.
