SciFlow-Bench: Evaluating Structure-Aware Scientific Diagram Generation via Inverse Parsing

Scientific diagrams convey explicit structural information, yet modern text-to-image models often produce visually plausible but structurally incorrect results. Existing benchmarks either rely on image-centric or subjective metrics insensitive to structure, or evaluate intermediate symbolic representations rather than...

Verifiable Visual Rewards Transfer from Synthetic Scenes to Natural Prompts

Precise instruction following in image generation, such as satisfying object counts and spatial relations, remains an open challenge at least in part because it is learned using unreliable reward models such as object detectors and vision-language models. We introduce Verifiable Visual Rewards (VVR), the first framewor...

Sol-H3: Recursive Self-Improvement for MiniMax-H3 Inference Acceleration on Sol-Engine across Cloud and Edge

Video diffusion models are rapidly scaling and exhibiting enhanced generation capabilities. Among these recent advancements, MiniMax-H3 stands out as a highly capable, production-level open-source model. However, its 33-billion parameters and multi-step iterative denoising process introduce substantial computational ov...

JRDB-AVR: An Active Visual Reasoning Benchmark for Embodied Agents in Real-World Environments

JRDB-AVR is introduced, a benchmark derived from existing real-world JRDB robotics data through a structured question-generation engine that turns this gap between answer accuracy and evidence accuracy in current baselines into an explicit evaluation.

Privacy-Preserving Full-Body Meshing from mmWave Radar via Mesh Foundation Model Supervision

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar enables privacy-preserving human perception, but the extreme sparsity of point clouds from commercial single-chip sensors (mean ~6.5 points/frame; ~28% empty frames) has confined prior art to body-part keypoints or discrete action classification. We present a cross-modal teacher-student f...

MoSPR: Histology-to-Gene Expression Prediction with Morpho-Spatial Macrostates and Low-Rank Molecular Programs

MoSPR (Morpho-Spatial Program Regression), a linear framework that couples an adjacency-informed histology representation with a low-rank molecular basis, provides an interpretable link between spatially coherent macrostate regions and their associated molecular programs.

Decision Readouts for Text-Mediated Video Anomaly Detection: An Exploratory Evaluation of Jev and Qwen

How much does the decision readout matter when video-derived textual evidence is held fixed? We evaluate Jev typed decisions and three Qwen readouts on a sparse development sample of 40 videos and 400 target anchors from UCF-Crime and XD-Violence, each presented as a summary and ordered captions. Each dataset contribut...

K-OPSD: Verifiable On-Policy Self-Distillation for Post-Training Vision-Language Models on AEC Drawings

Interpreting architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) drawings is hard for general Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs). We introduce K-OPSD, a VLM post-training methodology for improving AEC drawing understanding. Building on On-Policy Self-Distillation (OPSD) with verifi...

A Computer Vision Approach to Visual Fraud Detection in Phishing Websites Using YOLOv8

Phishing remains one of the most common vectors for financial and identity fraud, and most detection systems still rely on inspecting a page's URL, HTML markup, or domain registration history. These signals are easy for an attacker to rotate or obfuscate, and they say very little about what actually convinces a victim...

Probe to Act: Elevating Browser-Use Agent via Active Visual Probing

Browser-use agents require seamless alignment between structured web metadata and visual information, while preserving relevant context across long interactions. Existing interfaces often rely on either screenshot-level action prediction or static Set-of-Marks overlays, leaving the model to resolve dense DOM-pixel alig...

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.
