Multimodal Detection of Higher-Order Behavioral Constructs: Self-Compassion in Structured Reflective Interactions

Many of the qualities that matter most in how people learn and grow, how someone regulates their emotions, reflects on a setback, or stays aware of others during a difficult conversation, are not directly observable. They have to be inferred from how someone speaks, moves, and sounds over time, and they resist the kind...

Waypoint-1.5: A Real-Time Video World Model for Consumer Hardware

The data pipeline, architecture, training methodology, and runtime system behind Waypoint 1.5, a real-time diffusion world model for interactive video generation on consumer-grade hardware, are described and the safety and ethics considerations unique to iWMs are discussed.

ActiveSAM: Fast and Accurate Open-Vocabulary Semantic Segmentation with Frozen SAM 3

Segment Anything Model 3 (SAM 3) provides a strong frozen backbone for concept-prompted segmentation, but applying it directly to open-vocabulary semantic segmentation (OVSS) is inefficient: full-resolution decoding is typically run over the entire dataset vocabulary, whereas each image contains only a small active sub...

Fisher-Guided Progressive Parameter Selection for Adaptive Fine-Tuning

Under a local Gaussian approximation, the divergence between the fine-tuned posterior and pretrained prior is bound by accumulated Fisher-weighted update costs, motivating curvature-aware selection in parameter groups based on temporal drift in their Fisher information.

AdvantageFlow: Regularized Advantage-Weighted RL in Flow Models

The algorithm minimizes an advantage-weighted prediction loss, which maximizes reward, regularized by the rollout policy, which convexifies the objective and makes its optimization stable, and compares it to both forward- and reverse-process RL algorithms.

Accelerating Video Inverse Problem Solvers with Autoregressive Diffusion Models

The AVIS framework leverages autoregressive video diffusion models to restore videos in a streaming manner, naturally eliminating latency bottlenecks and achieving a favorable efficiency-performance trade-off, paving the way toward real-time deployment.

Observation-Aligned Mask Priors for Learning Physical Fields from Authentic Occlusions

Observation-Aligned Mask Priors, a framework that learns the distribution of authentic observation masks and uses it to construct context-query partitions for training from incomplete data, is proposed and demonstrated to be an effective alternative to heuristic masking for learning from incomplete physical observation...

NoiseRater: Meta-Learned Noise Valuation for Diffusion Model Training

Training a diffusion model involves two sources of randomness for each data sample: the timestep and the Gaussian noise realization. The timestep has been studied extensively through scheduling and weighting, whereas the impact of the noise realization at a given timestep is still underexplored. In this work, we examin...

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.
