Visual perception is conventionally formulated as a one-shot prediction from a single glance at the image, under the assumption that the image content and the model's parametric knowledge suffice to resolve the query. This assumption often fails in real-world scenarios that hinge on fine-grained visual details or requi...

World Action Models (WAMs) couple visual dynamics prediction with action generation, yet they do not explicitly support the reuse of action experience across manipulation tasks. Furthermore, existing WAMs struggle to capture underlying cross-task semantic relationships that could guide target action prediction, as redu...
Long-term egocentric video enables personalized AI assistants to reason about daily life. However, as video histories grow to hundreds of hours spanning months or years, reprocessing raw clips for every query becomes computationally prohibitive. Memory systems offer a scalable alternative by compacting videos into text...

Automated report generation can ease the burden radiolo gists face when interpreting multi-sequence MRI studies. Unlike CT, MRI examinations comprise multiple sequences and imaging planes, each con tributing complementary diagnostic information. Existing methods en code a study as a single volume and combine multiple a...

While recent Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown promise in affective computing, their reasoning capabilities are largely confined to short video clips with limited interactions. However, real-world emotions are not merely isolated instantaneous reactions but dynamic and cumulative processes deeply shap...

On-policy distillation (OPD) provides dense supervision directly on student-generated trajectories, making it an effective post-training strategy for vision-language models in temporal video grounding (TVG). However, existing pipelines typically construct the training curriculum from a fixed teacher and the initial stu...

Digital image watermarking is increasingly critical in media contexts, as emerging regulations and industry practices require marking AI-generated content and ensuring traceable sources to prevent manipulation or misuse. Recent advances in invisible watermarking methods highlight the need to update existing benchmarkin...

Hour-scale audio-visual question answering is constrained by a context dilemma: dense whole-recording encoding rapidly exhausts context limits, whereas uniform temporal compression severely dilutes fine-grained acoustic and visual evidence. We introduce LEAP, a framework where the model retrieves its own evidence witho...

Vision-language models face a fundamental scaling bottleneck: the number of visual tokens grows with both temporal duration and spatial resolution, making long-video understanding expensive for the vision encoder and the language model. Existing methods often compress visual tokens after dense encoding, creating a mism...

Strong unrestricted adversarial attacks can distort the primary object of an image, hereafter referred to as the subject. To preserve subject integrity without compromising attack magnitude, we introduce the carrier: a secondary visual element that provides an auxiliary region to facilitate the attack under global clas...

This paper demonstrate that whether masking-based token pruning helps or hurts worst-group robustness can be predicted before deployment, without labels or fine-tuning. A systematic study of semantic masking across 8 spurious-correlation benchmarks shows its effect on worst-group accuracy is highly unstable: it improve...
Multimodal encoders such as CLIP underlie many downstream systems, but their web-scale training data embed harmful associations that safety alignment must suppress without unnecessarily changing benign representations. Because ethical and practical constraints prevent collecting real unsafe content at scale, existing d...

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.
