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...

Dynamic Manipulation with World-Action Models via Counterfactual Planning

DPP enables real-time dynamic manipulation on a single consumer GPU without additional training on dynamic data and constructs a counterfactual observation that places a predicted target position in a familiar robot context, allowing the model to invoke an existing manipulation skill rather than generate a recovery beh...

FOCUS: Benchmarking Retinal Model Generalization from Foundation Vision Encoders to Multimodal LLMs

Progress in AI-based retinal image analysis has advanced with foundation models, yet evaluating their reliability remains challenging. Performance reported on a single dataset does not capture how models behave under dataset shift, across clinical definitions, or for different patient subgroups. This limitation is part...

Toward Comprehensive 3D Grounding: Orientation Grounding through Vision-Language Models

Grounding is a core capability of spatial vision-language models, yet most existing work focuses only on where a referred object is. Many 3D tasks also require knowing how it is oriented. Although existing 3D VLMs may predict oriented boxes, box pose does not explicitly capture object-centric orientation or symmetry-in...

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.
