Driving on Memory

This work removes a model's camera input and replaces it with memories from prior drives at the same location, suggesting that a high NAVSIM score does not require a planner to react to the current traffic scene and should be treated with caution.

Quantum-Grassmann-Plucker Token Mixing for Deep Learning-Based Post-Disaster Damage Assessment

This study presents the first application of Grassmann-Plucker (GP) token mixing to computer vision and introduces two extensions for image classification: the Quantum-inspired Grassmann-Plucker (QGP) head and the Hybrid Quantum Machine Learning Grassmann-Plucker (HQML-GP) head.

Minerals in the Wild: A Hyperspectral-XRF Dataset for Elemental Composition Estimation

Rapid mineral characterization is essential for applications ranging from mineral exploration to industrial ore processing. To this end, Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) has emerged as a promising sensing modality thanks to its fine spectral resolution, enabling mineral discrimination in both close-range and remote sensing...

VisER: Visual Evidence and Reliance for Object Hallucination Detection in LVLMs

VisER is proposed, a training-free two-sided metric for object-level hallucination detection that improves AUROC and AUPR over a range of baselines and measures whether object-context compatibility is backed by object-specific evidence from image tokens.

Lies We Can See: Joint Verbal and Non-Verbal Deception by VLM Agents in Embodied Social Interactions

MineAmongUs is introduced, a 3D multimodal Among Us sandbox where imposter agents must deceive crewmates through joint verbal and non-verbal action, and ARIA is proposed, a configurable VLM-agent harness that exposes five cognitive-component ablation axes and opens a new path for embodied VLM-agent alignment research.

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.

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.
