SafeBranch: Branch-Pair Safety Alignment for Embodied Agents

SafeBranch is proposed, a framework that aligns an embodied actor on safety through branch pairs constructed from the actor's own unsafe rollouts via environment rollback, achieving roughly ten times more safe successes than the untrained baseline on the unseen-object variant.

Constitutional Midtraining: Content Presence Drives Alignment Gains

Post-training alignment is often shallow, eroding under fine-tuning. It remains untested as to whether constitutional midtraining interventions can produce durable alignment when cleanly isolated from post-training. We build a 394M-token constitutional corpus from Anthropic's Constitution and apply constitutional midtr...

CHM-Net: Center Heatmap-driven Macro-Micro Modeling Network for MRI-based Microbial Density Stratification

This work investigates MRI-based Microbial Density Stratification as a patient-level representation learning task, and Center Heatmap-driven Macro-micro modeling Network (CHM-Net) is introduced for this task, establishing the link between imaging phenotypes and microbial states through center heatmap-guided small-lesio...

FairNVT: Fair Classification via Noise Injection in Vision Transformers

A lightweight debiasing framework for pretrained transformer-based encoders that improves prediction fairness while preserving task performance and reduces sensitive-attribute attacker accuracy, improves fairness metrics such as demographic parity difference and equalized odds, and maintains competitive task performanc...

SegWithU: Uncertainty as Perturbation Energy for Single-Forward-Pass Risk-Aware Medical Image Segmentation

SegWithU is a post-hoc framework that augments a frozen pretrained segmentation backbone with a lightweight uncertainty head and models uncertainty as perturbation energy in a compact probe space using rank-1 posterior probes, suggesting that perturbation-based uncertainty modeling is an effective and practical route t...

From Diffusion To Flow: Efficient Motion Generation In MotionGPT3

Comparing diffusion and rectified flow objectives within the MotionGPT3 framework suggests that several known benefits of rectified flow objectives do extend to continuous-latent text-to-motion generation, highlighting the importance of the training objective choice in motion priors.

Comprehensive framework for evaluation of deep neural networks in detection and quantification of lymphoma from PET/CT images: clinical insights, pitfalls, and observer agreement analyses

This study addresses critical gaps in automated lymphoma segmentation from PET/CT images, focusing on issues often overlooked in existing literature. While deep learning has been applied for lymphoma lesion segmentation, few studies incorporate out-of-distribution testing, raising concerns about model generalizability...

OceanDepths: A Global Dataset of Paired Subsurface and Surface Ocean Observations

OceanDepths is introduced, the first open, global, regridded AI-ready dataset that pairs satellite-derived sea surface temperature, sea surface salinity, and sea surface height products with co-located EN4 subsurface temperature and salinity profiles, complemented by matched GLORYS12 ocean reanalysis data to support co...

BRo-JEPA: Learning Modular Transformations in Latent Space

Can neural networks learn algebraic rules from visual inputs, or do they merely fit observed patterns? We study this question using MNIST (or EMNIST letters) as states and modular arithmetic operations as actions in a JEPA-style world model. Standard supervised and JEPA baselines with operation embeddings achieve high...

Primitive Representation Learning for Unsupervised Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI Reconstruction

This work proposes a multi-dimensional, primitive based framework for dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI reconstruction that disentangles the underlying anatomy, the dynamic contrast enhancement, and residual motion into separate temporal basis functions, thereby enabling a geometrical interpretation of the 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.
