Gradient-Guided Decoupled Adaptation for Geospatial Vision-Language Models

Existing geospatial vision-language models (Geo-VLMs) typically optimize diverse geospatial tasks through a unified multi-task adaptation paradigm without explicitly accounting for the heterogeneous optimization characteristics. Our empirical observations reveal heterogeneous gradient characteristics across tasks, incl...

REALIS: A Curated Dataset for Studying the Challenges of AI Image Detection

REALIS provides a unified framework for measuring and improving the reliability of AI-image detectors under conditions that better reflect real-world use, and proposes a robustness protocol covering 35 transformations at five severity levels to analyze detector behavior under image processing.

MM-OPD: Towards One More Bottleneck Between Perception and Reasoning

Recent multimodal large language models (MLLMs) advance visual reasoning by strengthening both perception and reasoning, implicitly assuming a process that transitions seamlessly from perception to reasoning. However, we observe a counterintuitive phenomenon that challenges this assumption: holding the model, question,...

The GUI Is Not the State: Diagnosing State Aliasing in GUI World Models

GUI World Models (GUI-WMs) are increasingly used to predict future states for agent planning and simulation, yet most existing formulations condition only on the current GUI observation and action. We identify state aliasing, where the vis- ible interface omits transition-relevant environment state, so identical observ...

Timestep Weighting: A Hidden Key to Effective ELBO-Based Flow-Matching RL

ELBO-based reinforcement learning offers a sampler-agnostic approach to fine-tuning flow matching models with reward feedback. Timestep weighting in ELBO-based RL has large impact on performance, and it also provides a unified view (as we show in this work) to understand prediction losses heuristically chosen in prior...

InterTab: Interleaved Visual-Structure Alignment for Multi-Modal Table Reasoning

InterTab is a structure-aware framework for CoT reasoning over table images that interleaves chain-of-thought with tool calls that crop structure-aligned table regions, and improves the average accuracy of its backbone from 68.28% to 73.17% and achieves the best average performance among all compared methods.

DraftAttention2: Fast Video Diffusion with Low-Resolution-Guided Mixed-Precision Attention

Video generation has broad applications in content creation and entertainment. Diffusion transformers have advanced the quality of generated videos, but attention over spatiotemporal tokens becomes increasingly expensive as video resolution and duration increase. We present DraftAttention2, a training-free framework th...

GAUGE: Group-Wise View-Inconsistency Rectification for Feed-Forward 4D Tracking

Feed-forward models regress dense 3D point trajectories directly from monocular video, yet the residual after global alignment is substantial and lacks a structural explanation. Measured on dynamic query points across models and datasets, the error concentrates along the view direction, while the scale correction each...

Retrieved but Not Delivered: Multimodal Memory Delivery for Long-Term Agents

Work on memory for multimodal agents optimizes what is written, updated and retrieved. Between retrieval and the answer, however, is a stage that multimodal memory evaluations do not isolate: what of the retrieved memory reaches the model, and in what form. We call it delivery, and a controlled decomposition on MemLens...

Feature Space Guidance for Breast Cancer Classification in DCE-MRI

Dynamic contrast enhanced breast MRI (DCE-MRI) is a powerful clinical tool for breast cancer detection, providing high resolution anatomical detail together with rich temporal contrast information. However, high dimensional 4D inputs, small lesions, and heterogeneous acquisition protocols across clinical sites hinder r...

In-Flight KV Cache with Clean Anchors for Faster Autoregressive Video Diffusion

Few-step autoregressive video diffusion generates a long video by splitting the video into temporal chunks and generating chunk-by-chunk, each through a short sequence of denoising stages. To memorize chunks that are already generated, previous methods reconstruct a clean or less-noisy key--value (KV) cache by addition...

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.
