DepthBench: Measuring How Residual Connections Enable More Computational Depth

Depth is a natural way to increase the computational capacity in Transformers, yet the contribution of deeper layers can diminish as depth grows larger. Recent approaches enhance normalization (\text{e.g.}, LayerNorm Scaling) or residual connections (\text{e.g.}, mHC, AttnRes) to enable better information flow and dept...

Seeing Parts, Reasoning about Worlds: Visual Inference under Partial Observation

World modeling under partial observation requires reasoning about the complete worlds that remain compatible with limited visual evidence. Occluded objects and unseen regions can leave several world states possible; additional views can exclude alternatives and strengthen the conclusions supported by the observations....

De-biasing Skeleton-based Action Recognition with Convex Hull Adaptive Shift

Skeleton sequences can represent both individual actions and multi-entity interactions, encompassing human bodies, hands, objects, and robots. Existing approaches to recognize skeleton-based actions and interactions usually adopt a late fusion strategy, which expects individuals are independent and identically distribu...

EyeVQA: Benchmarking Ophthalmic Vision-Language Models from Recognition to Spatial Grounding

EyeVQA is introduced, a unified visual question answering benchmark for comprehensive evaluation of ophthalmic VLMs, and fourteen representative general-purpose, scientific, and medically specialized VLMs under a unified zero-shot protocol are benchmarked.

Progressive-View On-Policy Distillation for Regional-to-Global Transfer in Multimodal LLMs

Regional-to-global distillation uses crop-conditioned guidance to improve full-image understanding. The challenge is to effectively transfer the teacher's crop-based advantage to the student's full-image inference. We propose progressive-view on-policy distillation (PVD), which shifts the student's view distribution fr...

Evaluating Single and Multi-Omics Based Explainable Artificial Intelligence (MOXAI) for Molecular Subclass Classification of Adult-Type Diffuse Gliomas

DNA methylation (DNAM) profiling has emerged as a powerful diagnostic tool for classifying brain and solid tumors. However, existing computational models typically analyze methylation and copy number variation (CNV) data separately, failing to capture the complementary information their integration could provide. Moreo...

Presence Is Not Faithfulness: Figurative Vehicle Intrusion in Text-to-Image Generation

This work introduces Vehicle Intrusion and Semantic Tenor Assessment (VISTA), a multilingual benchmark of figurative prompts organized by Figurative Form and Mapping Mechanism, and proposes V-Score, a diagnostic question-answering metric that evaluates role-aware figurative faithfulness in generated images.

KeyRec: Bounded Visual Memory for Streaming and Long-Video Understanding

Vision-language models are increasingly used to understand long videos and continuous streams. However, dense visual tokens accumulate with video duration, making long-context inference prohibitively expensive. Existing training-free visual-token selection methods reduce this cost by retaining informative tokens, but m...

OneFixer: High-Quality and Consistent One-Step Autoregressive 3DGS Refinement for Driving Scenes

Autoregressive video diffusion is a promising render-time fixer for 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) in autonomous-driving simulation, but deployment demands high visual quality and temporal consistency at low latency. This is especially hard for one-step causal generation, where each imperfect prediction immediately becom...

ReFM: Semantic-Aware Refinement Flow Model for Motion Retargeting

ReFM is proposed, a source-mesh-agnostic, energy-guided model that reformulates motion retargeting as progressive refinement and progressively refines an initialized target motion through a learned flow guided by semantic consistency, physical plausibility, temporal coherence, and minimal motion modification.

Amnesia by Design, Memory By Necessity: Persistent State for Document Intelligence

Modern Document AI reads contracts, extracts fields, reasons over tables, and grounds answers to page regions, then forgets everything. Processing an amendment the next day begins from scratch: no schema retained, no contradiction detected, no experience carried forward. This is a structural choice, not a scale failure...

Depth Any Seen: Which Surfaces and How Far?

When several surfaces are visible along a ray, recovering visible 3D structure from one image requires jointly estimating their presence and metric depth. Depth Any Seen represents these surfaces as image-conditioned multi-Bernoulli depth sets, whose components each contribute one depth or remain absent. Its auxiliary-...

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.
