Hierarchical Classification via Cascading Feature Elimination: Application to Human Phenotype Ontology-Aligned Facial Phenotyping (FaceMesh2HPO)

Results demonstrate that hierarchical modeling of 3D facial geometry enables interpretable, ontology-linked phenotype classification, though performance on rare leaf terms remains limited.

Mask2Real-WM: Segmentation Masks as a Sim-to-Real Bridge for Controllable Dexterous World Models

Mask2Real-WM is presented, a two-stage action-conditioned world model for dexterous manipulation that decouples pixel prediction into a dynamics model and a rendering model that shows that mask conditioning and simulation pretraining are both required for per-DoF action controllability across all 23 degrees of freedom.

Planning-aligned Token Compression for Long-Context Autonomous Driving

This work proposes COMPACT-VA, a planning-aligned working memory framework built on conditional VQ-VAE, compressing extended context into bounded representations, and evaluates on high-signal dynamic scenarios where historical context is most critical for behavior correctness, and accordingly design behavioral metrics.

EgoMemReason: A Memory-Driven Reasoning Benchmark for Long-Horizon Egocentric Video Understanding

EgoMemReason is introduced, a comprehensive benchmark for week-long egocentric video understanding through memory-driven reasoning that evaluates three complementary memory types: entity memory, tracking how object states evolve and change across days; event memory, recalling and ordering activities separated by hours...

When to Call an Apple Red: Humans Follow Introspective Rules, VLMs Don't

Understanding when Vision-Language Models (VLMs) will behave unexpectedly, whether models can reliably predict their own behavior, and if models adhere to their introspective reasoning are central challenges for trustworthy deployment. To study this, we introduce the Graded Color Attribution (GCA) dataset, a controlled...

Event-Causal RAG: A Retrieval-Augmented Generation Framework for Long Video Reasoning in Complex Scenarios

This work proposes Event-Causal RAG, a lightweight retrieval-augmented framework for ultra-long and streaming video reasoning and introduces ECV-1H, an hour-scale long-video QA benchmark dedicated to directed event-causal reasoning, with all source videos exceeding one hour.

SkillNet: Create, Evaluate, and Connect AI Skills

Current AI agents can flexibly invoke tools and execute complex tasks, yet their long-term advancement is hindered by the lack of systematic accumulation and transfer of skills. Without a unified mechanism for skill consolidation, agents frequently ``reinvent the wheel'', rediscovering solutions in isolated contexts wi...

Detecting Backdoors in Object Detection via Pre-NMS Prediction Distribution Shift

DistScan is presented, a backdoor detection framework based on a simple but previously unexploited observation: backdoor injection systematically shifts a model's pre-NMS prediction class distribution away from its training class frequencies, even on clean inputs without any trigger present.

ReWEIGH the Evidence: Calibrating Token-Level Ordinal Visual Evidence to Mitigate Hallucinations in Large Vision-Language Models

ReWEIGH is a training-free decoding intervention that aggregates vocabulary ranks across visual positions and compares each candidate with a token-specific reference estimated from unlabeled images and applies a bounded penalty only to candidates that fall below their reference.

GS-VLA: Plug-and-Play Viewpoint Canonicalization for Frozen VLA Policies via Gaussian Splatting

This paper proposes a lightweight, plug-and-play framework that improves robustness to viewpoint shifts in Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies without policy retraining. To our knowledge, this is the first approach to directly leverage 3D Gaussian-based novel-view synthesis for observation-space adaptation in VLA pol...

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.
