A Benchmark&Dataset for Detecting AI-Manipulated Visual Evidence in the Court System

Photographic evidence is becoming increasingly vulnerable to forms of alteration and fabrication that existing legal and technical workflows are not well equipped to evaluate. Surveillance frames, dashcam stills, and phone photographs may be used to establish presence, sequence, causation, damage, or identity, yet cont...

Multi-Site Real-World Performance of Commercial AI for Pulmonary and Incidental Pulmonary Embolism Detection

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality, yet the real-world performance of FDA-cleared AI detection models remains incompletely characterized. We retrospectively evaluated two FDA-cleared AI algorithms from a single commercial platform (Aidoc Medical BriefCase), one for PE triage on dedic...

PolyOCR-Venus: Unified OCR Foundation Models for Text-Centric Visual Intelligence

This report presents PolyOCR, a family of unified OCR foundation models of varying scales that combines a shared instruction-following framework with a large-scale data engine that converts heterogeneous visual resources into quality-verified OCR supervision.

VIF-Bench: Evaluating Visual Instruction Following in Multi-Reference Image Generation

VIF-Bench is introduced, a benchmark of 1,241 tasks designed to assess the edge of model capabilities in this joint setting in which multiple references must be composed under multiple and heterogeneous visual-instruction images, and uncover three findings.

TReVS: Integrating Textual Relevance and Visual Saliency for Efficient Vision-Language Model Token Pruning

TReVS is proposed, a training-free framework that combines textual relevance with vision-encoder saliency for pre-LLM pruning and leverages high-variance attention heads to remove task-irrelevant tokens at shallow-to-intermediate layers of the LLM.

Hierarchical Compression of Vision-Language Model Benchmarks

The analyses show how VLM evaluation behaves as model panels grow and evolve, providing guidance for designing future benchmarks that are more efficient, robust to model turnover, and explicit about the limits of evaluation-side pruning.

LazySloth: Bounded LLM-based Lazy Tree Search for Fast Long Video Comprehension

Modern vision-language models (VLMs) have shown promising results in long-video understanding due to the rich semantic information they can capture. However, most methods focus on coarse captioning of extracted image frames that are computationally inefficient and require models with large context windows. While past w...

Encore: Few-Shot Agentic Discovery of Manipulation Strategies

This work introduces ENCORE, which gives the agent a few demonstrations as evidence to read rather than as training data, and shows that on RoboDojo tasks whose instructions leave the goal unstated, no program succeeds without demonstrations.

TAEC: Trajectory-Aware Evidence Coordination for Multi-Step Visual RAG

Trajectory-Aware Evidence Coordination (TAEC), a training-free framework that coordinates evidence use around unresolved answer requirements, achieves the best overall performance against leading training-free visual RAG baselines, with the highest average accuracy across multiple proprietary vision-language models.

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.
