JEPA-kMMVAE: CSI Prediction for Time-Varying Wireless Channels

This paper considers channel state information (CSI) prediction using neural networks for time-varying multi-antenna channels from noisy historical observations. The main challenge is to exploit temporal correlation while distinguishing channel evolution from observation noise. We propose JEPA-kMMVAE, which combines a...

Sonic-AMG: Streaming Human Motion Generation from Spatial Audio

Modeling human reactions to spatial audio requires understanding both what is heard and where it comes from. Prior work generates motion offline from complete acoustic and spatial input sequences. Humans, however, react to sounds without knowing what they will hear next. We present Sonic-AMG, to our knowledge the first...

Decoding Register Tokens Preserves Global Scene Details

Pretrained vision transformers learn structured image representations spanning spatial patch tokens and non-spatial tokens. Recent analyses suggest that non-spatial register tokens encode global scene properties such as illumination, blur, and style. Yet patch-based image decoders discard these outputs, leaving the dec...

Do Prompt Optimizers Break Requirements They Are Not Scored On? A Preregistered Study

Prompt optimizers rewrite a prompt to raise one target metric, but prompts also state requirements the metric does not score, such as an output format, citations, or abstention. In a preregistered study, we run GEPA, MIPROv2, and TextGrad on HotpotQA, SQuAD 2.0, and IFEval and count per-item violations of unscored requ...

CV-OPD: Contrastive Vision On-policy Distillation

On-policy distillation (OPD) reveals versatility and convenience during VLM post-training, providing dense supervision for student from teacher. However, we observed an anomaly that the distilled VLM could still answer the questions accurately even when the related visual regions were masked or replaced with noise. Bui...

The Predictability Bias of Joint-Embedding Predictive Learning in Medical Imaging

Joint-embedding predictive architectures (JEPAs) learn by predicting teacher representations of masked regions from visible context. Point prediction summarizes the conditional target distribution and cannot reproduce variation that the context does not resolve. We call this constraint predictability bias. In computed...

Golden Anchor for Video Generation

Video generation supports digital content creation, with applications in virtual avatars, AI-driven filmmaking, interactive game engines, and world models. State-of-the-art systems achieve controllability primarily through image-to-video (I2V) generation, in which an injected anchor image determines the identity, compo...

Verifiable Sampling for Delegated Generative Quantum Machine Learning

Generative machine learning has shown remarkable results across a wide range of interdisciplinary tasks, motivating significant efforts toward Quantum Generative Models as a path to beyond-classical performance, given their capability of generating classically intractable distributions. However, comparatively little at...

Prediction-Informed Landing Window Planning for UAV Landing on USV in High Sea States

Autonomous landing of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on unmanned surface vehicle (USV) is difficult in high sea states. Existing hierarchical landing methods often infer future USV motion only implicitly from short observation histories, which limits their ability to adapt to severe and rapidly changing sea conditions....

Neurograf v1: An End-to-End Romanian-First Language Model Family

We present Neurograf v1, an experimental end-to-end Romanian-first language-model pipeline developed to investigate the feasibility of training language models from scratch for a lower-resource European language. The pipeline comprises RoSfera, a 635 GB Romanian corpus containing 175.7 million documents; an 80k byte-le...

Fast Gradient-Based Approximation of Continuous Dynamic Time Warping

Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) is a common choice for measuring the discrepancy between time series. It proceeds by finding an optimal warping between timestamps through dynamic programming, which can be slow and is not differentiable. Consequently, several variants have been proposed. Among them, Soft-DTW proposes a smoot...

Why Heavy-Tailed Weight Spectra Predict Model Quality

A solid understanding of the predictive success of deep neural networks (DNNs) remains elusive. For example, while many data-dependent metrics exist that seek to predict model quality of DNNs, these metrics may be expensive to compute for large datasets and/or may be impossible to compute when training datasets are not...

Simulating student learning for better AI tutoring

StudentSim is a research system for evaluating and improving AI tutoring tools before they are tested with learners. It models how individuals may engage with tutors, giving feedback to improve tutor performance across subjects like chess, writing, and mathematics. The post Simulating student learning for better AI tutoring appeared first on Microsoft Research.
