VIBE: Video Instruction-aligned Background music gEneration

VIBE is introduced, a novel text-and-video-to-music (T+V2M) generation model that leverages a depth-wise cross-layer conditioning mechanism that dynamically bridges the planning and diffusion refinement heads and a comprehensive reward modeling taxonomy, optimizing for both hard, verifiable constraints and soft, subjec...

Aligning Multi-Trajectory Supervision with Policy Optimization for VLA Driving

A novel framework that aligns multi-trajectory supervision with policy optimization, and introduces two complementary mechanisms: feasibility-first advantage assignment and dynamic distillation to ensure that expanded trajectory supervision is effectively absorbed during policy optimization.

A Hybrid State-Space Approach for Census-Tract Population Estimation

This work renders each administrative unit as a single polygon-masked satellite image and treats tract-level population estimation as a sequence-modeling problem over its image patches, pairing each tract image directly with its population label and eliminating the disaggregation step entirely.

Partition-Aware Unlearning for Removing Spurious Correlations in Large Vision-Language Models

The results show that PURGE consistently reduces hallucinations and spurious-correlation-driven errors while maintaining or improving overall performance in most evaluated settings, providing both a reusable evaluation protocol and an effective mitigation framework for more reliable LVLMs.

Towards Continual Test-Time Adaptation of Vision-Language Models in Open-Vocabulary Semantic Segmentation

Diversify, Anchor, and Filter (DAF), a stabilization framework that augments entropy-based adaptation with a marginal diversity loss that resists collapse, a cross-modal anchor consistency loss that constrains feature drift relative to a frozen source model, and feature salience filtering that skips low-value backward...

Continual Test-Time Adaptation via Entropy Sensitivity-Guidance in Strict Online Setting

Sensitivity-Guided Erasing Adaptation (SEGA) is introduced, a method for strict online continual TTA (CTTA) on corruption-style streams that yields consistent robustness and stability gains over strong CTTA baselines while reducing backward passes through sensitivity-based gating.

$\mathcal{N}_0$-Foundation: Towards the Age of Tactile Intelligence

A paradigm for tactile-enabled embodied manipulation, which integrates tactile sensing hardware, large-scale multimodal data, tactile representation learning, and standardized evaluation is presented, aiming at supporting future work on tactile-enabled embodied manipulation.

ARMOR: Manifold-Oriented Training for Adversarially Robust Aerial Object Detection under Data Scarcity

Adversarial Robustness with Manifold-Oriented Training (ARMOR), a novel defense that realizes the core insights of on-manifold adversarial training (OMAT) in low-data regimes and translates insights from manifold-based training to defend object detectors amidst training data scarcity.

Polis: 3D Self-Supervision at City Scale

The results show that distributionally-regularized joint embedding architectures can be successful on challenging city-scale 3D scenes, and that transfer improves when self-supervision is designed for the capture geometry and spatial context of this domain while also revealing the limits of this specialization.

An Integrated Vision-and-Language Pretraining (VLP) and Visual Question Answering (VQA) model to Automate Nondestructive Evaluation Image Analysis

An AI-based approach called ChatNDE Figure to Caption is introduced, which aims to automate the interpretation of NDE images using deep learning and natural language processing (NLP). A Vision-and-Language Pretraining (VLP) strategy is developed to help the model learn how to connect visual features with meaningful lan...

FiLM-GPNet: Geometry-Aware Pseudo-Supervised Phase Restoration with Zero-Shot Generalization for Large Temporal InSAR Stacks

FiLM-GPNet is proposed, a geometry-conditioned network for wrapped-phase restoration that explicitly adapts to acquisition differences using Feature-wise Linear Modulation (FiLM) and a 7D per-pair geometry descriptor, supporting geometry-conditioned restoration as an effective alternative to fixed classical filtering a...

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.
