AiSearch: Interactive Multi-Modal Search with VLMs

Modern retrieval systems must both be automated and interactive, allowing users to search and refine results in real time. We present AiSearch, a flexible multimodal retrieval framework that leverages the zero shot capabilities of Vision Language Models (VLMs) for natural language search over images and videos. AiSearc...

Frozen Scenes, Shifting Winners: Configuration Fragility in Text-to-3D Evaluation

Can a text-to-3D leaderboard change when every generated scene stays fixed? We audit this question for rendered-image evaluation, where camera settings and caption wording become part of the measurement protocol. Across 300 frozen scenes from six generators, we vary eight render and caption factors for 19 alignment eva...

Direct Translation between Sign Languages

Sign language translation has made substantial progress between sign and spoken languages, while translation across sign languages remains less explored. Translating directly between sign languages could support communication across signing communities without requiring a shared written language. A cascade of sign-to-t...

MCD: Causal Distillation of Multimodal In-Context Learning in Large Vision-Language Models

Large vision-language models (LVLMs) exhibit strong multimodal in-context learning (ICL) capabilities, yet this ability degrades substantially as model size decreases. Knowledge distillation offers a natural way to bridge this gap, but existing methods primarily align output distributions or hidden representations dire...

LoopVL: Recurrent Visual Intelligence

We introduce LoopVL to study whether Loop Transformers can be effectively extended to vision- language models. LoopVL combines Module-Loop and Model-Loop computation to iteratively update a unified vision-language state through shared modules. We train LoopVL from scratch through language pre-training, multimodal train...

TRACE: Training-time Report-guided and Clinically Ordered Concept Editing

A training-time report-guided framework that leverages structured radiology reports as privileged concept supervision while enabling image-only diagnosis at test time, and refines image-derived concepts through a teacher-guided editing mechanism within a malignancy-aware ordered concept space.

Perceptual Color Difference Modeling Using Machine Learning and Human Similarity Judgments

Accurate assessment of color differences is essential for applications ranging from digital design to quality control. While existing color difference metrics, such as CIEDE2000, aim to approximate human perception, they may still exhibit inconsistencies with perceptual judgments. In this study, we investigate a data-d...

DiFF: Doppler-informed Flow Matching for Human Motion Flow

Perceiving human motion via privacy-preserving 4D millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar is critical for next-generation human-robot interaction (HRI), where point cloud scene flow serves as a foundational motion representation. Yet the extreme sparsity and noise of 4D radar point clouds make non-rigid motion flow estimation s...

EPIC: Epipolar-Consistent 360{\deg} Immersive Stereo Video Generation

Immersive displays can enable rich and diverse virtual experiences. Manually authoring every possible experience to realize this potential, however, is prohibitively expensive, difficult to scale, and impractical. Generative AI models could remove this bottleneck, but today's models are built for conventional displays...

EmAvatar: Multimodal Empathetic Response Generation via Conflict Resolution and Expressive Guidance

Avatar-based multimodal empathetic response generation has emerged as a pivotal capability in human-centric systems, aiming to recognize user emotions and synthesize responses with synchronized text, audio, and talking-face video. Despite recent progress, existing methods still suffer from three critical limitations: (...

Structure over Pixels: Learning Variable-Length Visual Programs

Discrete visual tokenizers map images to ordered sequences of tokens, providing a natural representation for structural scene descriptions. Most use a fixed sequence length, while adaptive methods often require post-hoc search or choose among a small set of rates that control the length. We propose STROP, a discrete to...

Overconfidence and Calibration in Medical VQA: Empirical Findings and Hallucination-Aware Mitigation

As vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly deployed in clinical decision support, more than accuracy is required: knowing when to trust their predictions is equally critical. Yet, a comprehensive and systematic investigation into the overconfidence of these models remains notably scarce in the medical domain. We...

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.
