Where Identity Lives: Localized, Retain-Free Identity Unlearning in Multimodal Large Language Models

PAVA pairs a forget loss with a visual-attribute anchor that preserves image-grounded behavior by distilling the model's own pre-unlearning answers from the forget images alone and gives the strongest forget-retain trade-off among forget-set-only methods and remains competitive with retain-based baselines.

PaperBanana-Interact: Scientific Diagram Refinement with Multi-Turn Human Feedback

MTPaperBananaBench, a benchmark for multi-turn diagram generation containing 292 images annotated with 3,518 user requirements, is presented and PaperBanana-Interact, a multi-agent system that refines diagrams via an internal critique-and-refine loop is introduced.

Beyond Fluency: A Rubric-Based Benchmark for Evaluating Saudi Dialect and Cultural Competence in Large Language Models

Large language models are increasingly deployed in Arabic-speaking markets, yet standard benchmarks overwhelmingly reward Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) fluency while leaving dialectal and culturally grounded competence unmeasured. This gap is consequential: everyday Arabic is largely dialectal, and dialect encodes socia...

CoVA-SFT: A Large-Scale Dataset for Chain of Visual Abstractions

Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning has dramatically improved large language models (LLMs) by allowing them to decompose problems into intermediate steps. While CoT is widely effective for linguistic tasks, text-only CoT forces models to serialize visual problems into awkward prose. Although architectural solutions exist...

ReVA: A Region-Aware Visual Assistant for Visually Grounded Question Answering

ReVA is proposed, a region-aware VQA model that employs a frozen CLIP ViT-L/14 Vision Transformer (ViT) and a Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct large language model (LLM) connected through a dual bridge that aligns both whole-image and region-level representations with the LLM's embedding space.

Parametric Multimodal User Memory: Storing What Captions Cannot Carry

This work ground perceptual memory in the model, decomposing recall into two subproblems: a vision-language model grounds the referent in context (what and where), and a dedicated encoder extracts an identity key (who), stored as one inline token read by attention at generation with no external round-trip.

Fast Trainable Multilinear Bases for Image Compression

A scheme to train a better transformation for a given image dataset is developed, using isometric tensor networks, inspired by quantum many-body theory, to parameterize the basis, and train it with Riemannian optimization.

RegionFM: Interpretable Region-Based Brain MRI Classification Using Foundation Model Embeddings

The results show that RegionFM maintains performance comparable to less interpretable fine-tuning approaches while providing anatomically grounded explanations, and better aligns model explanations with anatomy-based clinical reasoning while maintaining competitive predictive performance.

FracEvent: Event-Camera Simulation via Fractional-Relaxation Pixel Dynamics

FracEvent, an event simulator that models this pixel-level lifecycle with fractional-relaxation voltage dynamics, improves the temporal structure of generated events and achieves stronger downstream-transfer results than competing simulator baselines, showing its practical value for event-camera simulation.

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.
