A Deeper Analysis of Block-Sparse Featurizers

This work proposes several architectural changes to the BSF, including a Tournament Top-K selection rule that significantly reduces feature splitting, and extends the block paradigm to the crosscoder.

PAWBench: How Far Are We from Probabilistically Aligned World Modeling?

This work formalizes probabilistic alignment as a distributional criterion for world models and introduces PAWBench, a benchmark for evaluating video generators as stochastic samplers of world dynamics, and introduces PAWEval, an outcome-level protocol that converts repeated video rollouts into empirical distributions...

LiveVVT: High-Fidelity Video Virtual Try-On in Real Time

LiveVVT is introduced, a rolling streaming diffusion framework that preserves bounded bidirectional modeling within causal recurrent generation, and a progressive distillation framework integrating bidirectional VVT learning, teacher-trajectory regression for causal few-step adaptation, and Collaborative Matching Disti...

GAN-Diff : Coupling Pretrained WGAN-GP Features with Conditional Diffusion U-Nets

A hybrid GAN-guided diffusion framework that uses a pretrained Wasserstein GAN with gradient penalty (WGAN-GP) as a feature prior for conditional diffusion-based image restoration that consistently improves the quality of both degraded and low-resolution images.

RecoverFly: A Failure-Aware Reinforcement Learning Post-Training Framework for Aerial Vision-Language Navigation

RecoverFly is proposed, a failure-aware RL post-training framework for end-to-end UAV-VLA policies that adapts token-level RL for stable optimization of grammar-constrained autoregressive UAV actions, revisits unresolved failure cases to strengthen corrective learning and sample utilization, and combines a two-stage lo...

BRACE: Taming Sharp Irregularities via Barycentric Rational Forecasting for Fast Diffusion Transformers Inference

The proposed Barycentric Rational Forecasting with Chebyshev Enhancement (BRACE) maintains a local sliding window to cache sparse historical features and leverages adapted Chebyshev weights to formulate a barycentric rational function, directly aggregating these raw features to ensure numerical stability.

GHR-VLM: Making Zero-Shot Transit Video Analytics Realizable with Grounded Hybrid Reasoning

GHR-VLM, a visual grounded hybrid reasoning framework for zero-shot transit-bus video analytics, is proposed, motivated by the observation that explicit visual grounding can improve VLM reasoning by converting long surveillance streams into compact, passenger-centered spatiotemporal evidence.

SDGBiasBench: Benchmarking and Mitigating Vision-Language Models' Biases in Sustainable Development Goals

This work proposes CADE (Contrastive Adaptive Debias Ensemble), a training-free, plug-and-play method that leverages modality-specific answer priors that yields significant gains on the proposed benchmark, which can foster the development of more fair and reliable AI systems for sustainable development.

Camera-Agnostic Pruning of 3D Gaussian Splats via Descriptor-Based Beta Evidence

This paper proposes a camera-agnostic, one-shot, post-training pruning method for 3D Gaussian splats that relies solely on attribute-derived neighbourhood descriptors, and introduces a hybrid descriptor framework that captures structural and appearance consistency directly from the splat representation.

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.
