The Camera Inside the Editor: Reading the Implicit Camera of Image Editors with Painted Calibration Patterns

Instruction-based image editors insert objects, restyle scenes and render new viewpoints, but it is unknown which camera they assume when they paint into a photograph. Asked to cover the floor with a checkerboard, an editor paints projective structure from which classical vanishing-point geometry reads pitch, roll, foc...

Are In-Context Images Worth 10 Dimensions?

There has been significant work on understanding the In-Context Learning capabilities of Large Language Models, especially on the induction circuit. For a few-shot classification task, the induction circuit leverages linear representations of each labeled example in-context in order to classify an unlabeled query. Howe...

TomoTransformer: Towards a Foundation Model for CT Reconstruction

TomoTransformer is introduced, a transformer-based architecture that treats each filtered back-projection images or sinograms as an individual token and predicts missing views via self-attention and is fully agnostic to the number of input and target projections.

Principled MAP estimation for inverse problems: bridging the gap between convergence and performance

This paper designs an algorithm that combines denoisers at decreasing noise levels with a schedule tailored to ensure convergence, and proves that it surpasses convergent methods while competing with state-of-the-art empirical ones.

Physics-Guided Flow-Map Matching for Precipitation Nowcasting

Precipitation nowcasting, generating future radar fields from past observations, is critical for flood warning and disaster response. It is also a demanding benchmark for spatiotemporal generative modeling, with chaotic dynamics, heavy-tailed intensities, and rare high-intensity structures that matter most. Determinist...

PoE-Fuse: Precision-Weighted Expert Fusion for Bi-Temporal Change Understanding

Bi-temporal change understanding, which localizes and characterizes what changed between two satellite images, is central to disaster response and environmental monitoring, spanning change detection, building localization, and damage assessment. Strong vision-language models address these tasks, but adapting them typic...

Learning Social Navigation from Internet Videos in the Policy State Space

Training robust social-navigation policies requires simulators with diverse scene layouts, terrain, and human motion, but constructing such environments and specifying pedestrian behavior is costly. We propose an efficient pipeline that converts ordinary monocular walking videos directly into closed-loop social-navigat...

Multi-task learning for the automatic grading of enlarged perivascular space burden using MRI

Enlarged perivascular spaces (PVS) visible in brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are increasingly thought to be linked to poor brain health. PVS are elongated structures of less than 3 mm in diameter and can be numerous. To reflect the incidence of PVS, radiologists visually score their burden following a clinical...

The Domain Is a Residue: Adapting Self-Supervised Features, Not Generators

The RFA has about 160 times fewer trainable parameters than CycleGAN-Turbo and under a fifth of its per-condition training time, and carries weather, lighting and rendering style as a residue as a residue of 13 to 14% of the feature norm.

Seeing Is Not Addressing: Auditing Linguistic Access to Frozen Visual Geometry

Visual distinctions are often finer than those reflected in linguistic conceptualization. Vision-language models exhibit a similar asymmetry: a distinction can remain discriminable in frozen image geometry while being weakly addressable through the native text interface. We study this gap by separating visual discrimin...

Sparse cubical complexes for efficient topology-preservation in image data

Persistent homology (PH) is a frequently used tool for extracting and preserving topological information from image data, particularly in image segmentation, where preservation of topological structures is important. However, despite its general applicability across dimensionality, domains, and target structures, the r...

Improved Distributional Diffusion Models

A stochastic few-step generator whose FID does not degrade as the sampling budget grows from 4 to 50 NFE, and the same recipe transfers to text-to-image generation.

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.
