TamedFlow: Trajectory-Aware Distillation for Teacher-Assisted Diffusion Sampling

Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) deliver high-fidelity image and video generation, but inference requires many sequential model evaluations. Two acceleration strategies are increasingly important: model compression makes each evaluation cheaper, while adaptive inference avoids selected teacher computation through reuse, f...

Multimodal-Conditioned Latent Diffusion Models for Spatiotemporal Brain MRI Forecasting

Spatiotemporal forecasting of 3D anatomical changes is a critical generative vision challenge for modeling Alzheimer's Disease (AD) progression. While brain MRI forecasting from single-modality data has advanced, other key complementary multimodal biomarkers remain underutilized. In this work, we propose the Multimodal...

Stable Signer V3: 4D Deformable Primitive Splatting Is All You Need for Sign Language Production

We present Stable Signer V3, an interactive high-resolution sign language avatar system built on 4D Deformable Primitive Splatting. It addresses three limitations of existing avatars: restricted facial expression, inaccurate identity-specific body deformation, and loss of fine appearance details. Shared Face Primitive...

HumanSkill-4D: Training-Free Language Querying of Animatable Gaussian Avatars in Space and Time

We introduce avatar referring segmentation, which selects regions of animatable Gaussian avatars from language queries. A query can also specify a pose or motion to select matching intervals. This lets users interact with avatars for local editing and motion inspection. However, making these selections with existing la...

DiffEEG: A Self-Supervised Denoising Diffusion Model for Learning EEG seizure-related Representations

Deep learning for EEG-based seizure detection faces critical challenges: severe annotation scarcity and extreme class imbalance, where ictal events comprise less than 10\% of clinical recordings. We present DiffEEG, a 9.6M-parameter self-supervised foundation model that addresses both limitations through denoising diff...

Yuvion VL: A Multimodal Foundation Model for Adversarial Content and AI Safety

General-purpose models often struggle to reliably identify and understand real-world multimodal risks, largely due to the inherent multimodal adversarial nature of content and AI safety. We present Yuvion VL, a family of multimodal large language models purpose-built for content and AI safety, with both instruction-tun...

CounterCount: Diagnosing Knowledge Bias in How Vision-Language Models Count Attributes

Do Vision-Language Models (VLMs) count what they see, or what they know about the world? We introduce CounterCount, a diagnostic dataset of paired factual and counterfactual (CF) images, in which the CF image contains an atypical count of a subject's attribute (e.g., a rabbit with four ears), together with annotations...

Dynamic Cross-Modal Prompt Generation for Multimodal Continual Instruction Tuning

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) achieve strong performance through instruction tuning, yet real-world deployment often requires continual capability expansion across sequential tasks. In such scenarios, Multimodal Continual Instruction Tuning (MCIT) aims to acquire new capabilities while limiting catastrophic...

LLaVA-CKD: Bottom-Up Cascaded Knowledge Distillation for Vision-Language Models

Large Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are successful in addressing a multitude of vision-language understanding tasks, such as Visual Question Answering (VQA), but their memory and compute requirements remain a concern for practical deployment. A promising class of techniques for mitigating this concern is Knowledge Dist...

Anchoring and Rescaling Attention for Semantically Coherent Inbetweening

Generative inbetweening (GI) seeks to synthesize realistic intermediate frames between the first and last keyframes beyond mere interpolation. As sequences become sparser and motions larger, previous GI models struggle with inconsistent frames with unstable pacing and semantic misalignment. Since GI involves fixed endp...

Understanding and Defending VLM Jailbreaks via Jailbreak-Related Representation Shift

Large vision-language models (VLMs) often exhibit weakened safety alignment with the integration of the visual modality. Even when text prompts contain explicit harmful intent, adding an image can substantially increase jailbreak success rates. In this paper, we observe that VLMs can clearly distinguish benign inputs f...

SpectralTrain: A Universal Framework for Hyperspectral Image Classification

Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification typically involves large-scale data and computationally intensive training, which limits the practical deployment of deep learning models in real-world remote sensing tasks. This study introduces SpectralTrain, a universal, architecture-agnostic training framework that enhances...

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.
