When 3D Gaussian Splatting Recovers Real Surfaces

It is proved that geometric misalignment forcefully converts spatial textures into high-frequency angular signals via parallax, which establishes a strict identifiability window: if angular capacity is bounded, surface-consistent solutions are mathematically preferred; if unrestricted, the same images can be perfectly...

Temperature-Adaptive Transformed Teacher Matching

This paper introduces a sample-wise inverse-temperature update for TTM by locally minimizing the Kullback-Leibler divergence between the temperature-scaled teacher distribution and the student's prediction and derives closed-form first and second derivatives with respect to the inverse temperature.

Context-Aware Interpretable Representations for Retrieval and Graph Convolutional Network Classification

Extensive experimental evaluation demonstrates that the proposed Context-Aware representations not only provide intrinsic interpretability and dimensionality reduction but also maintain or enhance effectiveness in downstream tasks, specifically in image retrieval and semi-supervised classification using Graph Convoluti...

Unsupervised Keypoints for Real-Time Fall Detection: Comparative Analysis Under Real-world Conditions with Predictive Bandwidth Reduction

A fall-monitoring framework is proposed that replaces continuous video transmission with compact motion representations, using unsupervised keypoints which are extracted locally, and a variational recurrent model is used to forecast motion at the staff end, followed by fall classification.

VBVR-Pro: A Scalable and Verifiable Suite for Native Visual Reasoning

This work introduces VBVR-Pro, a closed-loop testbed that makes native visual reasoning through generation trainable, verifiable, optimizable, and experimentally controllable, and identifies recurring failure modes of the prevalent VLM-as-a-judge paradigm.

Slot2Text: Object-Centric Visual Tokenization for Efficient and Spatially Traceable Surgical MLLMs

Slot2Text, a dual-mode surgical MLLM that replaces dense representations of visual input with a compact set of regions encoded as slot latents, establishes compact slot latents as an efficient default visual interface for surgical MLLMs, with grounded reasoning invoked when greater spatial traceability is required.

UI2App: Benchmarking Visual Interaction Inference in Executable Web Application Generation

UI2App is the first benchmark targeting interaction inference, the ability to recover application behavior from screenshots alone, without any textual or behavioral guidance, and designs an end-to-end pipeline that evaluates each artifact along four dimensions: executability, navigation reachability, visual fidelity, a...

PhysCoRe: Physics-Corrected Residual World Models for Material-Aware Deformable Dynamics

Experiments on real deformable-object manipulation sequences show that PhysCoRe outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in prediction accuracy, and that its predicted confidence forms a reliable distribution across the object's geometry, providing a natural signal for future confidence-guided exploration.

Is management commitment a necessity after all in software process improvement?

Literature and practice has established that the lack of management commitment has been one of the top reasons for a failed SPI (software process improvement) initiative. The paper reports results from an ongoing study aimed at clarifying the role and the meaning of management commitment in SPI initiatives. Results fro...

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.
