A Visual Classification Dataset and Model Evaluation for Historical Manuscript Illustrations

Historical manuscript illustrations preserve rich visual evidence of past cultures. They depict people, animals, plants, diagrams, music notations, and decorative forms. Although large digitization projects have made many manuscripts available online, the material itself remains difficult to explore at scale. Extractio...

Parameter-Efficient 3D Segmentation of Liver and Liver tumors: Depthwise factorization Scales Better Than Dense Convolution with Spatial Dimensionality

It is shown, on both LiTS and a 2D endoscopy benchmark, that a large fraction of the network's learnable spatial filters can be replaced by fixed shifts at no cost in accuracy, but that replacing all of them is measurably worse, the placement of spatial capacity matters more than its total amount.

Distributed Hydrological Modeling in the Feature Space

This work introduces feature-space routing: a topology-aware state-space operator embedded directly in the forecasting dynamics, which preserves the physical connectivity of the river system while allowing the propagated state itself to be learned end-to-end.

Is H&E Image-to-Spatial Transcriptomics Simpler Than It Looks?

Decomposing MSE into slide-level and within-slide components, it is found that the within-slide component has lower residual-normalized parameter sensitivity in controlled neural experiments, which motivates Component-Guided Loss (CGL), which increases supervision of the within-slide component.

SynCo: Learning Cross-Modal Synergy by Contrasting Interaction Residuals

Multimodal contrastive learning is a dominant paradigm for learning transferable representations from unlabeled data, but standard objectives primarily capture information that is redundant between modalities. Partial Information Decomposition (PID) shows that task-relevant information in multimodal data decomposes int...

VCRE-Fib: View-Conditioned Regional Evidence for Fine-Grained Ultrasound Grading of Schistosoma japonicum-Associated Liver Fibrosis

Accurate assessment of Schistosoma japonicum-associated liver fibrosis is essential for disease management and long-term follow-up in endemic regions. Ultrasound provides non-invasive imaging, but complex local echogenic patterns and anatomical structures make fine-grained grading challenging. Existing deep learning me...

USAI-Quant: A Quantitative Reasoning Benchmark for Vision-Language Models in Built Environments

The USAI-Quant benchmark is developed, the first benchmark designed to quantitatively evaluate VLM's reasoning capabilities on built environment metrics via remote sensing imagery, and reveals that current state-of-the-art models consistently fall short on numeric reasoning tasks.

CT-OPD: Counterfactual Trace On-Policy Distillation for Diffusion Vision-Language Models

Counterfactual Trace On-Policy Distillation (CT-OPD), which combines completed teacher responses with trajectory masks from the current student, consistently enhances multimodal understanding and reasoning capabilities, and improves both visual understanding and image generation.

OmniMoE-VL: A Sparse Vision-Language Model with Coupled Visual-Depth Routing

OmniMoE-VL, a sparse VLM with a coupled visual-depth routed projector, enables question-dependent visual access while preserving the native visual-token sequence, and complements token-level expert routing in the vision and language stacks.

An Empirical Study on What Matters for Viewpoint-Generalizable Policies in Visual Imitation Learning

A controlled empirical study of which design choices allow visuomotor policies to generalize across viewpoints finds that viewpoint generalization improves when dense visual tokens are retained and the action head participates in geometric reasoning.

JEPA Learns What the Mask Leaves Unrecoverable

A measurement account of how joint-embedding predictive architectures are unusually sensitive to how the input is masked, finding that coarse-scale content the mask leaves unrecoverable, provided enough context stays within reach of each target is given.

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.
