AppendiGrade: An XAI-Enhanced Deep Learning Framework for Grading Appendicitis in Ultrasound with Gaussian Blur and Grad-CAM

An advanced system capable of automatically detecting complicated appendicitis from ultrasound images was developed and was explained with gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM), which creates a heatmap of the regions responsible for the model's prediction of the infected areas.

Looking Beyond the Scale: Do Surgical Skill Models Learn Transferable Representations Across Assessment Rubrics?

Results indicate the visual component is dominant but not solely responsible for skill prediction; further work is needed to conclusively disentangle transferable skill features from those bound to a specific visual domain.

Teach and Grow: An Agent-Centered Architecture for General Robot Learning

Vision-language-action (VLA) and world-action models typically absorb unfamiliar manipulation tasks through additional robot data collection and policy optimization. This recurring retraining burden slows the acquisition of new behavior. We present Teach-and-Grow Learning (TGL), a training-free architecture that turns...

Lymphocyte Mimicry Correction via Region-Level Tissue Reasoning and Unbalanced Optimal Transport

Cell mimicry arises when different cell types appear morphologically similar. Human pathologists resolve this ambiguity using surrounding tissue context, whereas current vision models either lack contextual reasoning (cell foundation models) or cannot operate at the cell level (pathology MLLMs). We present Loki-OT, whi...

MagViT: Interpretable Multi-Magnification Transformers with Patient-Level Model Selection for Breast Histopathology

MagViT, an interpretable multi-magnification transformer framework with scale-gated fusion and patient-level model selection, is presented, an interpretable multi-magnification transformer framework with scale-gated fusion and patient-level model selection relative to prior ViT-centered BreakHis work.

Optimize Your Sampling: Tuned Diffusion Sampling with Bayesian Optimization

Optizing Your Sampling (OYS), which instead treats timestep selection as a black-box optimization problem, optimizing the target metric directly with Bayesian optimization, improves both simple and sophisticated samplers such as Euler and DPM-Solver++.

How smoothing the affinity matrix affects neighborhood preservation in t-SNE

It is found that sharpening improves preservation of the very nearest neighbors, while smoothing improves preservation of broader local neighborhoods, outperforming alternative affinity constructions including multiscale methods in the mid-local range.

Co-RL: Unsupervised Reasoning Emerges from Diverse Cohort in Multi-agent RL

This work introduces Co-RL, a framework in which multiple decoupled models, sharing no parameters, are simultaneously optimized through RL using rewards derived from their peers, and shows that unsupervised reasoning can emerge through cooperative multi-agent training.

BrainWAM: Action-Space Coordination of Semantic Priors and Predictive Dynamics for Autonomous Driving

This work proposes BrainWAM, a structured action-space coordination framework that converts semantic reasoning and predictive world modeling into two specialized action-oriented pathways, and aligns them at the level of compact action representations, and introduces an asynchronous rectified-flow inference strategy wit...

EgoCITE: Context-Augmented Indexing and Time-Aware Retrieval for Long-Horizon Egocentric Memory

This work introduces EgoCITE (Egocentric Context-augmented Indexing and Time-aware Evidence retrieval), a long-horizon agentic memory framework for egocentric QA that improves accuracy over agentic memory baselines by at least 4.4--14.2% while achieving 36$\times$ lower cost than long-context LLM agents.

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.
