SafeLens: Deliberate and Efficient Video Guardrails with Fast-and-Slow Screening

The rapid growth of online video platforms and AI-generated content has made reliable video guardrails a key challenge for safety and real-world deployment. While most videos can be screened through fast pattern recognition, a small subset requires deeper reasoning over temporally complex content and nuanced policy con...

PEST: Parameter Efficient Steering of Blackbox VLMs via Agentic Few-shot Alignment for Hateful Meme Moderation

In this work, we examine hateful memes from three complementary angles - how to detect them, how to explain their content and how to intervene them before being posted - by applying a range of strategies built on top of generative AI models. To the best of our knowledge, explanation and intervention have typically been...

Simultaneous Translation between Sign Languages

This work presents, to their knowledge, the first simultaneous sign-to-sign (S2S) translation system, with two wait-k regimes: test-time wait-k inference applied directly to a full-sentence model, and a trained wait-k model via stochastic multi-path supervision.

InfoEdit: Probing Global Layout Reasoning in Infographic Editing

Multimodal foundation models edit natural photographs at production quality, yet the same models struggle with structured visual content such as infographics. Unlike photographs, infographics encode information through logical relations; editing one element often requires surrounding elements to be adapted. We refer to...

Attribution Gaps in Zero-Training LLM+OVOD Pipelines: A Fine-Grained Analysis of the CAAP--SNAP Discrepancy

The upshot is that a large share of the apparent CAAP--SNAP gap traces back to closed-category annotation limits rather than a real grounding failure, which matters for how the authors detect hallucination, analyze failure modes, and design evaluation for grounded multimodal systems meant to work in the open world.

Who Is Left of Whom? Tracing Spatial Evidence and Role Binding in Relative-Position Reasoning

High instance-level accuracy can mask inconsistencies in spatial reasoning when objects exchange positions or their roles are reversed in the query. The internal representations supporting relative-position reasoning remain poorly understood. We investigate two complementary components of this process: tracking object...

SignFLIP: A Unified Model for Sign Language Translation and Generation via Stage-wise Alignment at Scale

To enable bidirectional mapping between text and sign, SignFLIP adopts a symmetric architecture together with a stage-wise training strategy built on large-scale data, which shows competitive performance compared with task-specific models on both translation and generation tasks, as well as strong transferability to si...

InfiMed2: A Generalist Medical Multimodal Foundation Model from Contextual Evidence and Stability-Aware Supervision

This work introduces InfiMed2, a family of 4B and 27B generalist medical multimodal foundation models built around stage-aware data design, and curates a 55.68B-token corpus that combines broad clinical knowledge with context-rich biomedical visual evidence through source-specific processing.

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.
