DynGhost: Temporally-Modelled Transformer for Dynamic Ghost Imagings

Ghost imaging reconstructs spatial information from a single-pixel bucket detector by correlating structured illumination patterns with scalar intensity measurements. While deep learning approaches have achieved promising results on static scenes, two critical limitations remain unaddressed: existing architectures fail...

LensVLM: Selective Context Expansion for Compressed Visual Representation of Text

LensVLM is proposed, an inference framework and post-training recipe that enables VLMs to scan compressed images, then selectively expand only the relevant images to their uncompressed form via learned tools, and validates this approach: training makes visual compression robust to rendering choices, and as compression...

Back into Plato's Cave: Examining Cross-modal Representational Convergence at Scale

The Platonic Representation Hypothesis posits that neural networks trained on different modalities (e.g., text and images) converge toward a shared representation of reality. If true, this has significant implications for whether modality choice matters at all. In this paper, we show that the evidence for this claim is...

Rewind-IL: Online Failure Detection and State Respawning for Imitation Learning

Imitation learning has enabled robots to acquire complex visuomotor manipulation skills from demonstrations, but deployment failures remain a major obstacle, especially for long-horizon action-chunked policies. Once execution drifts off the demonstration manifold, these policies often continue producing locally plausib...

Do Vision Language Models Understand Human Engagement in Games?

Inferring human engagement from gameplay video is important for game design and player-experience research, yet it remains unclear whether vision--language models (VLMs) can infer such latent psychological states from visual cues alone. Using the GameVibe Few-Shot dataset across nine first-person shooter games, we eval...

ProtoDCS: Towards Robust and Efficient Open-Set Test-Time Adaptation for Vision-Language Models

Large-scale Vision-Language Models (VLMs) exhibit strong zero-shot recognition, yet their real-world deployment is challenged by distribution shifts. While Test-Time Adaptation (TTA) can mitigate this, existing VLM-based TTA methods operate under a closed-set assumption, failing in open-set scenarios where test streams...

Modeling The Object Representations Underlying Human Physical Reasoning

This work provides a foundational framework for testing alignment between vision models and humans and shows there is a growing gap between the state-of-the-art in artificial intelligence and human cognition, driven by scaling model size and training.

MedVL-SAM2: A unified 3D medical vision-language model for multimodal reasoning and prompt-driven segmentation

Recent progress in medical vision-language models (VLMs) has achieved strong performance on image-level text-centric tasks such as report generation and visual question answering (VQA). However, achieving fine-grained visual grounding and volumetric spatial reasoning in 3D medical VLMs remains challenging, particularly...

UrbanVLA: A Vision-Language-Action Model for Urban Micromobility

Urban micromobility applications, such as delivery robots, demand reliable navigation across large-scale urban environments while following long-horizon route instructions. This task is particularly challenging due to the dynamic and unstructured nature of real-world city areas, yet most existing navigation methods rem...

What Drives Compositional Generalization in Visual Generative Models? The Importance of Continuous Training Objectives

Compositional generalization, the ability to generate novel combinations of known concepts, is a key ingredient for visual generative models. Yet, not all mechanisms that enable or inhibit it are fully understood. In this work, we conduct a systematic study of which design choices critically determine compositional gen...

COLORA: Efficient Fine-Tuning for Convolutional Models with a Study Case on Optical Coherence Tomography Image Classification

We introduce CoLoRA (Convolutional Low-Rank Adaptation), a parameter-efficient fine-tuning method for convolutional neural networks (CNNs). CoLoRA extends LoRA to convolutional layers by decomposing kernel updates into lightweight depthwise and pointwise components. This design reduces the number of trainable convoluti...

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.
