Urban micromobility applications, such as delivery robots, demand reliable navigation across large-scale urban environments while following long-horizon route instructions. This task is particularly challenging due to the dynamic and unstructured nature of real-world city areas, yet most existing navigation methods rem...

Compositional generalization, the ability to generate novel combinations of known concepts, is a key ingredient for visual generative models. Yet, not all mechanisms that enable or inhibit it are fully understood. In this work, we conduct a systematic study of which design choices critically determine compositional gen...

We introduce CoLoRA (Convolutional Low-Rank Adaptation), a parameter-efficient fine-tuning method for convolutional neural networks (CNNs). CoLoRA extends LoRA to convolutional layers by decomposing kernel updates into lightweight depthwise and pointwise components. This design reduces the number of trainable convoluti...
Furnished floor plans support real-estate visualization, interior design, and architectural workflows, yet automatic furnishing remains challenged by limited real-world data and the need to satisfy interacting geometric and functional constraints. We ask whether professional furnishing knowledge can be learned from rea...

We describe compute-grounded reasoning (CGR), a design pattern in which code computes selected sub-problems from explicit intermediate representations before a language model answers. Spatial Atlas implements CGR as an Agent2Agent (A2A) server with a spatial question-answering handler and a machine-learning engineering...
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are a major focus of recent AI research. However, most prior work focuses on static image understanding, while their ability to process sequential audio-video data remains underexplored. This gap highlights the need for a high-quality benchmark to systematically evaluate MLLM pe...

Automatically evaluating multimodal generation presents a significant challenge, as automated metrics often struggle to align with human evaluation, especially for complex tasks that involve multiple modalities. We present MMMG, the first benchmark to bring the verifiable-task paradigm to multimodal generation, spannin...

3D Gaussian avatars support fast rendering, however, their real-time animation is often challenged by the costly neural inference. We address this bottleneck and show that the animation of pretrained avatar models can be closely approximated by a linear combination of identity-independent blendshapes. Building on this...

High-resolution 3D generation increasingly relies on voxel latents and multi-stage pipelines that first predict active structure and then synthesize local geometry. While effective, this design fragments continuous surfaces into many local tokens, inflates generation cost, and often weakens topological consistency for...

Distribution Matching Distillation (DMD) trains a few-step student from the difference between separately estimated target and student scores, so it must keep an auxiliary diffusion model fitted to the student's evolving distribution at extra memory and computation cost. We introduce DMAD, Distribution Matching as Adve...

Current controllable video generation systems often rely on 2D motion trajectories or sparse drag signals for object motion. These controls are ambiguous because the same 2D trajectory can correspond to different 3D motions, especially when the camera and objects move simultaneously. We present Generative Cinematograph...

Unsupervised anomaly detection (UAD) methods for brain MRI are ranked by a single score, yet that score rests on choices that are rarely reported: how each anomaly map is aligned with the reference, how and on which data the threshold is set, and which false-positive budget, metric, aggregation and lesion definition ar...

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.
