CueKFS: Agentic Cue-Driven Keyframe Selection for Long Video Understanding

Keyframe selection (KFS) has long produced compact video summaries for browsing and retrieval, and representative frames for thumbnails. More recently, when conditioned on a question, KFS provides an alternative to uniform sampling for long-video question answering by selecting frames that are more relevant to the ques...

SynDORBench: Evaluating LVLM Perceptual Robustness Under Physically Constrained Visibility Conditions

Large vision-language models (LVLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance on multimodal reasoning benchmarks, yet their perceptual reliability under physically constrained imaging conditions remains poorly understood. Existing evaluations predominantly assume ideal visual inputs and therefore fail to characterize h...

A Surgical Foundation Model Reveals Task-Dependent Label Efficiency

Developing label-efficient models is a central challenge in surgical AI due to the high cost and scarcity of expert annotation. While self-supervised foundation models adapt well to new tasks with minimal data, how label efficiency varies across different surgical tasks remains largely unexplored. Here, we introduce SU...

Video-to-Music Generation for Gameplay Videos

Video-to-music models have advanced considerably in the last few years, particularly in film and music video applications. In this paper, we investigate this problem in the video game domain, which introduces new challenges for these models: video frames are rendered graphics, music is mostly synthetic audio, and sound...

Robot Manipulation with GPT-6-Astra: Body Knowledge, Experience Reuse, Emergent Skills, and Sim2Real Transfer

A practical way to build general-purpose manipulation experiments around GPT-6-Astra is suggested: supply machine-readable body descriptions and synchronized demonstrations, and turn useful agent-generated feedback routines into reusable skills, while the agent adapts actions from current images.

LukeNet: A lightweight CNN integrated with an XAI model for Smart acute lymphoblastic leukemia detection and management

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) patients require early, accurate detection to enable timely treatment and effective patient management. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is well-suited for creating an end-to-end enabling environment for ALL detection and classification. However, most CNN-based ALL detection syste...

GERIS: A Game-Theoretic Framework for Filtering Instance-Dependent Label Noise in License Plate Data Augmentation

Experimental results demonstrate that GERIS outperforms existing instance selection methods in terms of classification accuracy and robustness, and offers a transparent, theoretically grounded mechanism for data filtering.

High-Capacity Robust Medical Image Exfiltration via Neural Network Weight Replacement

Collaborative medical AI platforms allow researchers to train models on sensitive imaging data while restricting data export. However, trained models can serve as covert carriers of patient information: medical images may be encoded within model parameters and reconstructed outside the secure environment. Existing defe...

SWT: Self-Supervised Video Object Segmentation via Sliding, Wavelet and Transportation

This paper proposes self-supervised VOS with Sliding window, Wavelet transform and optimal Transport (SWT), a self-supervised VOS framework entirely trained on static dataset using contrastive learning that achieves excellent results on five VOS datasets as well as an additional body part propagation dataset.

MM-VeriRec: Failure-Guided Fusion for Verifiable Agentic Multimodal Recommendation

Images often carry recommendation constraints that text metadata only hints at. A movie may need to look dark, a product may need a minimal style, and a visually impossible request should be rejected. Agentic multimodal recommenders must reason over text-image evidence, decide when visual evidence is decisive, and abst...

Agentic Video Understanding: A Survey

This survey reviews video understanding agents: systems that use video as the primary information source and solve understanding tasks through adaptive state construction and action selection, and identifies open directions toward agentic-native temporal modeling and video-native agents.

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.
