Bernstein-Vazirani Networks: Quantum Machine Learning by Interference

We introduce Bernstein-Vazirani Networks (BVNs), a non-variational quantum machine learning framework that leverages quantum interference for supervised learning, demonstrated on vision and representation learning tasks. In their standard form, BVNs follow the principle of quantum Fourier sampling: labelled data are pl...

Counterfactual Contrastive Analysis

Visual Counterfactual Explanations (VCEs) aim to explain image classifiers by generating minimally edited and realistic versions of an input image that change the classifier's prediction. Existing VCE methods are inherently classifier-dependent and therefore susceptible to classifier biases and failure modes, such as s...

One-Stage Object Detectors in Autonomous Driving

Autonomous vehicles depend on fast and reliable perception systems to detect surrounding vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, traffic signs, and other road objects in real time. This paper presents a comprehensive survey and analysis of one-stage object detectors for autonomous driving rather than an implementation of a ne...

GrabVG: Graph-Attentive Binding for Visual Grounding in UAV Imagery

This work proposes GrabVG, a novel visual grounding framework inspired by human visual search that generates a compact set of reliable object hypotheses through distillation-guided proposal induction and text-aware hypothesis filtering, substantially reducing background distractions and semantic mismatches.

Learning-State-Aware Dynamic Generative Data Augmentation on Small-Scale Datasets

Learning-state-aware dynamic generative data augmentation (LSADA) is proposed, which introduces a decoupled data augmentation and diffusion fusion strategy that applies strength-controlled transformations to class-relevant regions and generates diverse class-irrelevant regions, progressively fusing them to improve imag...

The Impact of CutMix on Reliability and Robustness in Semantic Segmentation

Improvements show that CutMix has only a minor impact on segmentation accuracy but consistently improves the reliability, particularly under distribution shifts, indicating that CutMix primarily enhances the trustworthiness of the model’s calibration and uncertainty rather than the raw segmentation prediction itself.

A Critical Synthesis of Uncertainty Quantification and Foundation Models for Semantic Segmentation

This is the first systematic evaluation of UQ methods applied to a foundation model for semantic segmentation and highlights both the promise and the current limitations of uncertainty-aware foundation models, pointing to the need for future work that jointly optimizes accuracy, robustness, and efficiency for real-worl...

Impact of Iterative Fine-Tuning on Transcription Accuracy in Complex Historical Sanskrit Manuscripts

A local traditional OCR pipeline is introduced that can be iteratively fine-tuned on the target manuscript at the layout-level and the appearance-level, causing iterative reduction in human annotation effort, which is expensive and time-consuming as it requires historical domain expertise.

Composed Historical Image Retrieval by Modeling Temporal Representations

This paper proposes Temporally Decomposable Image Representations (TDIR), a representation learning algorithm that decomposes historical photographs into separate date and content components through orthogonal subspaces, and defines and proves the conditions under which such a decomposition is achievable.

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.
