Towards Fairness under Label Bias in Image Segmentation: Impact, Measurement and Mitigation

A Confident Learning framework adapted to segmentation for auditing label bias directly in the training data without a clean, unbiased ground truth is presented, and it is shown that label bias influences subgroup separability in the encoder's feature space, an artifact the authors leverage for bias mitigation rather t...

Q-Drift: Quantization-Aware Drift Correction for Diffusion Model Sampling

Post-training quantization (PTQ) is a practical path to deploy large diffusion models, but quantization noise can accumulate over the denoising trajectory and degrade generation quality. We propose Q-Drift, a sampler-side correction that aims to preserve the intended sampling marginals through a deterministic drift adj...

Less Data, Faster Convergence: Goal-Driven Data Optimization for Multimodal Instruction Tuning

Goal-Driven Data Optimization (GDO) is presented, a framework that computes six sample descriptors for each candidate and constructs optimized 1$\times$ training subsets for different goals that enables faster convergence with fewer training samples under a fixed training protocol.

Universal Pose Pretraining for Generalizable Vision-Language-Action Policies

Pose-VLA is proposed, a decoupled paradigm that separates VLA training into a pre-training phase for extracting universal 3D spatial priors in a unified camera-centric space, and a post-training phase for efficient embodiment alignment within robot-specific action space.

AI-driven Dispensing of Coral Reseeding Devices for Broad-scale Restoration of the Great Barrier Reef

Coral reefs are on the brink of collapse, with climate change, ocean acidification, and pollution leading to a projected 70-90% loss of coral species within the next decade. Reef restoration is crucial, but its success hinges on introducing automation to upscale efforts. In this work, we present a highly configurable A...

Squeeze3D: Extreme Neural Compression with Latent Space Bridging

Squeeze3D is a novel framework that leverages implicit prior knowledge learnt by existing pre-trained encoders and decoders to compress 3D data at extremely high compression ratios and can flexibly support different formats, including meshes, point clouds, and radiance fields.

Bridging Generative and Discriminative Noisy-Label Learning via Direction-Agnostic EM Formulation.

This work proposes a single-stage, EM-style framework for generative noisy-label learning that is direction-agnostic and avoids explicit image synthesis, and introduces Partial-Label Supervision (PLS), an instance specific prior over clean labels that balances coverage and uncertainty, improving data-dependent regulari...

Fast LeWorldModel

Fast LeWorldModel (Fast-LeWM), a fast latent world model that replaces repeated local rollout with action-prefix prediction, improves average success over LeWM while substantially reducing planning time, achieving lower open-loop latent loss whose growth becomes significantly slower as the rollout horizon increases.

MulTaBench: Benchmarking Multimodal Tabular Learning with Text and Image

This work introduces MulTaBench, a benchmark of 40 datasets, split equally between image-tabular and text-tabular tasks, designed to enable the research of novel architectures which incorporate joint modeling and target-aware representations, paving the way for the development of novel Multimodal Tabular Foundation Mod...

Let the Target Select for Itself: Data Selection via Target-Aligned Paths

Targeted data selection seeks training examples from a candidate pool that improve downstream task performance. While trajectory-based selectors effectively guide this process, existing approaches typically construct reference states by warming up on the candidate pool itself, thereby inheriting pool-dependent distribu...

Mitigating Multimodal LLMs Hallucinations via Relevance Propagation at Inference Time

This work finds that hallucinations often arise when the model relies less on perceptual inputs, and that changing this reliance affects its predictions, and proposes a training-free framework that shifts relevance toward perceptual tokens by optimizing key-value representations during decoding, without modifying model...

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.
