Recaptioned image-text corpora are now standard for text-to-image (T2I) training, with vision--language model (VLM) captioners replacing sparse alt-text by dense descriptions. A recaptioned corpus is a supervision distribution induced by a documented captioning policy ($\pi$), captioner ($V_c$), and source corpus ($C$)...

In this paper, we study how to achieve one-step action generation in Robotic Foundation Models (RFMs), aiming to overcome the high inference latency of multi-step flow matching. MeanFlow provides a promising framework for this goal, yet its direct application leads to performance collapse. We discover that this stems f...

Adversarial optimization under a shared $\ell_1$ budget requires deciding not only how much perturbation to use, but also where that limited budget should be spent. This allocation problem becomes particularly important when individual input coordinates are subject to local magnitude constraints, which restrict the ext...
Vision-language models (VLMs) have emerged as powerful candidates for universal vision backbones, with representative architectures including autoregressive (AR) models and diffusion transformers (DiTs). Yet, adapting them efficiently for all-in-one low-level image restoration remains a challenge. Crucially, the field...

This survey aims to provide a structured conceptual foundation and practical guidance for advancing controllable and reliable video generation models and frame post-training as a unifying framework and distinguish between implicit alignment and explicit alignment based on how alignment signals are enforced.
End-to-end backpropagation has been the dominant mode of training in deep learning, allowing for the coordination of parameter updates across layers of a neural network. Prior studies have explored alternative -- and, in some cases, simpler -- training mechanisms, showing that they can sometimes achieve performance sim...
Personalized image generation has remained narrowly focused on conditional synthesis from curated visual exemplars, rather than capturing who a user is. In practice, however, a user's personal context is much richer, comprising reviews, posts, images, captions, and metadata accumulated over time. A truly personalized g...

VisionQ is introduced, the first benchmark built from peer-reviewed CV comparison figures that grounds every judgment in a named visual criterion: each question states the criterion, and a judge is credited only when it selects the output the authors identify as best on that criterion.

Human motion, environmental contacts, and interaction forces are governed by common physical laws, yet existing approaches typically separate visual pose reconstruction from contact and force estimation. This separation limits joint reasoning and can propagate errors between stages. We introduce PACT, an end-to-end mod...

Automated classification of brain tumors from MRI is a heavily published application of deep learning in medical imaging, with reported accuracies on public benchmarks routinely exceeding 98%. However, accuracy does not capture a critical dimension of benchmark quality: dataset integrity, defined as the independence of...

Recent advances in distillation and flow-map models have enabled deterministic one- or few-step generation for high-quality data, facilitating a new branch of reward alignment approaches that directly optimize the initial noise from a Gaussian distribution. However, most existing initial-noise optimization methods rely...
Diffusion models with prompt and reference image-guided editing have seen rapid progress, yet they remain too coarse for pixel-level control. One promising direction is to incorporate a soft mask that specifies spatially varying edit strengths but training such fine-grained control demands expensive pixel-wise annotati...

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.
