When Noise Meets Long-Tail: Feature-Threshold Dual Calibration for Robust Pseudo-Labeling

Pseudo-labeling has become a cornerstone of learning from unlabeled data in semantic segmentation. Yet its effectiveness drops sharply in real-world scenarios where strong imaging noise and long-tailed class distributions occur together. We trace this failure to a vicious cycle of pseudo-label degradation. Imaging nois...

StoryEngine: A State-Grounded Agentic Framework for Video Storytelling

StoryEngine is proposed, a state-grounded agentic framework for video storytelling that maintains a structured representation of entity placement and story-relevant states, and propagates event-induced changes to define the intended start and end states of each shot.

SpatialSpeak: QA-Native Reconstruction with Local and Global Context for Spatial Chain-of-Thought Reasoning

SpatialSpeak is introduced, a two-stage framework that connects QA-native reconstruction pretraining with spatial CoT learning and achieves state-of-the-art results on ReVSI, VSI-Bench, and SPAR-Bench, with a ReVSI score of 62.8 that exceeds the strongest compared baseline by 8.7 points.

ViCoR: Reliable Molecular Structure Extraction via Spatially Aligned Verification and Executable Revision

Reliable optical chemical structure recognition (OCSR) is essential for building high-quality chemical data from scientific literature, yet even small recognition errors can propagate into chemical databases and downstream models. In practice, recognized structures often require manual inspection and correction before...

Chameleon: Dynamic Format Adapter for Efficient Diffusion

Post-training quantization (PTQ) is the standard way to run modern diffusion models on memory-constrained accelerators, yet every existing diffusion PTQ scheme fixes the $\mathit{number\ format}$ in advance and only tunes the scale, zero point, or per-layer bit-width. At a fixed bit-width the best format depends on the...

TTRSD: Test-Time Reinforcement Learning with Self-Distillation for Vision-Language Models

TTRSD separates update direction from update position, determined by group-relative advantages, from update position, determined by visual sensitivity, without requiring ground-truth labels, external verifiers, or a separate teacher, demonstrating cross-dataset generalization while preserving inherent reasoning integri...

Resolving State-Representation Mismatch: State-Space Visual Reasoning for Open-Loop VLA Planning

Despite rapid progress in vision-language-action (VLA) models, existing reasoning paradigms still face a fundamental \emph{state-representation mismatch} in open-loop planning. Given only an initial observation, models must internally simulate action-conditioned state transitions, whereas text-, pixel-, and latent-spac...

VGGT-Diff: Visual Geometry Meets Diffusion for Sparse-View Novel View Synthesis

This work presents VGGT-Diff, a geometry-routed multi-view diffusion model for sparse-view novel view synthesis, and introduces robust geometry conditioning, combining training-time regularization with inference-time guidance for improved robustness.

Scope-WM: Scoped Computation for Efficient Visual World Models

Visual world models enable robotic planning by predicting future observations, but dense latent-state propagation and sample-intensive trajectory optimization incur high inference latency and peak memory usage, limiting real-time deployment on resource-constrained platforms. Existing sparse world-model acceleration met...

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.
