As multimodal large language models (MLLMs) reason for longer, attention to the initial visual input diminishes, weakening visual grounding. Visual memory reintroduces visual evidence during reasoning. We conduct a controlled analysis of visual memory along three axes: curation, organization, and access. We find that l...

Long-video embedding requires capturing sparse query-relevant evidence under a limited visual-token budget. Uniform sampling can miss brief events in videos spanning minutes or hours, whereas encoding more frames in a single context increases memory and computation. We introduce \textbf{Query-Aware Streaming Latent Rea...

Neural Architecture Search (NAS) has proved to be a strong alternative to manual network design, but applying it to 3D medical image segmentation is limited by two well-known costs, large annotation budgets and multi-GPU clusters. Thus, this paper introduces Active-DiNTS (Active Differentiable Network Topology Search),...
Structural diagrams are widely used to represent complex systems and relational information across scientific, engineering, procedural, and spatial domains. Recent vision-language models (VLMs) have become increasingly capable of recognizing diagram elements and reasoning about their content, while complete diagram top...

Many visual explanation methods in computer vision highlight pixel importance but struggle to link these low-level cues to semantically meaningful concepts, limiting their interpretability and trustworthiness. We introduce Concept-based Explanations (ConEx), a novel framework that bridges saliency visualization with co...
The long observational record of He I 10830 {\AA} offers a means to investigate solar morphology before modern extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) imaging. We adapt the Surya solar foundation model to predict Solar Dynamics Observatory/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (SDO/AIA) 94, 193, and 304 {\AA} images and a coronal hole (CH) p...

Vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly evaluated for egocentric and cross-view video reasoning, yet existing benchmarks largely focus on semantic event understanding, temporal relations, or correspondence between already observed views, leaving their ability to reason directly about future visual states underex...

Medical Vision-Language Models (Med-VLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in clinical tasks. However, they often struggle to understand anatomical structures and spatial positioning, which are crucial for medical reasoning. To address this, we propose a localization-aware enhancement to the Med-VLM pipeline, intr...

Studying attention through the lens of interacting particle dynamics has shown how token clustering can emerge from the underlying dynamics. We extend this perspective to slot attention, a method for object-centric image segmentation and representation learning in which learned components obscure how much of the cluste...

Building interactive simulators from real-world observations is a promising way to scale embodied data, but current pipelines still rely heavily on manual environment construction and calibration. We study whether frontier foundation models and coding agents can automate this process end to end. We formulate \emph{auto...

Agricultural visual models are typically evaluated for either recognition or localization, but reliable diagnosis requires identifying what is present and localizing the evidence. Agricultural visual question answering (VQA) datasets carry rich semantic labels but rarely link them to image regions, and adding such anno...

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.
Computer scientist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist will collaborate with the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing to advance AI and scientific discovery.
