MLLMs Know When Before Speaking: Revealing and Recovering Temporal Grounding via Attention Cues

Video temporal grounding (VTG), which localizes the start and end times of a queried event in an untrimmed video, is a key test of whether multimodal large language models (MLLMs) understand not only what happens but also when it happens. Although modern MLLMs describe video content fluently, their timestamp prediction...

EverAnimate: Minute-Scale Human Animation via Latent Flow Restoration

EverAnimate is proposed, an efficient post-training method for long-horizon animated video generation that preserves visual quality and character identity by anchoring generation to a persistent latent context memory, consisting of two complementary mechanisms.

Cross Modality Image Translation In Medical Imaging Using Generative Frameworks

This work presents a reproducible benchmark for 3D I2I translation in oncological imaging that compares seven generative models: three Generative Adversarial Networks (Pix2Pix, CycleGAN, and SRGAN) and four latent models (Latent Diffusion Model, Latent Diffusion Model+ControlNet, Brownian Bridge, and Flow Matching).

Investigating Single-Block Recurrence in Vision Transformers for Image Recognition

Vision Transformers (ViTs) implement depth by stacking independently parameterized blocks, but it remains unclear how much of this parameterization is necessary and how much can be replaced by recurrent reuse. We study this question with bViT, a single-block recurrent ViT that repeatedly applies the same transformer bl...

FraudBench: A Multimodal Benchmark for Detecting AI-Generated Fraudulent Refund Evidence

FraudBench is a multimodal benchmark for detecting AI-generated fraudulent refund evidence and shows that current MLLMs often recognize real-damaged evidence but fail on many fake-damaged subsets, with fake-damage detection rates far below the 50\% baseline on most generator subsets.

LAGO: Language-Guided Adaptive Object-Region Focus for Zero-Shot Visual-Text Alignment

This work introduces LAGO (LAnguage-Guided adaptive Object-region focus), which reframes localized recognition as language-guided directed region discovery and addresses the circular dependence between recognizing a class and locating its supporting evidence, while preserving complementary local, contextual, and global...

GazeVLM: Active Vision via Internal Attention Control for Multimodal Reasoning

Human visual reasoning is governed by active vision, a process where meta-cognitive control drives top-down goal-directed attention, dynamically routing foveal focus toward task-relevant details while maintaining peripheral awareness of the global scene. In contrast, modern Vision-Language Models (VLMs) process visual...

Query-Dependent Use of Generated Descriptions for Reliable Visual Question Answering

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) hallucinate objects that are not present, and a growing line of work tries to curb this by feeding the model its own generated caption as auxiliary evidence -- assuming that a caption, once available, is something to consume. We show this fails: naively appending a caption can lower accura...

DRAGON: A Benchmark for Evidence-Grounded Visual Reasoning over Diagrams

The DRAGON dataset contains 11,664 annotated question instances from six diagram QA datasets, with a 2,445-instance test set carrying human-verified evidence annotations and a standardized evaluation framework, which supports future research on models that ground their predictions in visual evidence.

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.
