SGP-SAM: Self-Gated Prompting for Transferring 3D Segment Anything Models to Lesion Segmentation

SGP-SAM, a self-gated prompting framework for efficient and effective transfer to 3D lesion segmentation, and a Zoom Loss that up-weights lesion-focused supervision by combining Dice and a voxel-balanced focal term to address small-lesion learning.

UniRect-CoT: Enhancing Generation in Unified Multimodal Models via Reflective Rectification with Inherent Understanding

Unified Rectification-CoT is proposed, a training-free unified rectification chain-of-thought framework that generalizes across existing flow-based UMMs, consistently enhancing overall text-to-image generation performance.

CompDiff enables fair and zero shot medical image generation across demographic intersections through compositional diffusion

Medical image generators trained on imbalanced data can fail at demographic intersections absent from training. We introduce CompDiff, which encodes age, sex and race separately and composes supervised demographic tokens alongside clinical text. Across chest radiographs and fundus images, CompDiff improves overall and...

Adaptive Weighted h-Transform Sampling for Coarse-Guided Visual Generation

A novel guided method is proposed by using the h-transform, a tool that can constrain stochastic processes (e.g., sampling process) under desired conditions and modify the transition probability at each sampling timestep by adding to the original differential equation with a drift function, which approximately steers t...

RubiCap: Rubric-Guided Reinforcement Learning for Dense Image Captioning

Remarkably, using a compact RubiCap-3B as a captioner produces stronger pretrained VLMs than those trained on captions from proprietary models, outperforming supervised distillation, prior RL methods, human-expert annotations, and GPT-4V-augmented outputs.

Concept-Guided Fine-Tuning: Steering ViTs away from Spurious Correlations to Improve Robustness

Vision Transformers (ViTs) often degrade under distribution shifts because they rely on spurious correlations, such as background cues, rather than semantically meaningful features. Existing regularization methods, typically relying on simple foreground-background masks, which fail to capture the fine-grained semantic...

D-GAP: Improving Out-of-Domain Robustness via Dataset-Agnostic and Gradient-Guided Augmentation in Frequency and Pixel Spaces

Out-of-domain (OOD) robustness is challenging to achieve in real-world computer vision, especially in unsupervised domain adaptation scenarios, where shifts in image background, style, and acquisition instruments often degrade model performance. Generic augmentations show inconsistent gains under such shifts, whereas d...

A Survey on Efficient Vision-Language-Action Models

Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs) represent a significant frontier in embodied intelligence, aiming to bridge digital knowledge with physical-world interaction. Despite their remarkable performance, foundational VLAs are hindered by the prohibitive computational and data demands inherent to their large-scale archite...

Scaling Vision Transformers for Functional MRI with Flat Maps

A new model family (CortexMAE) trained using the masked autoencoder framework is introduced, and in this setting the CortexMAE family outperforms prior models by a large margin, and the first open evaluation suite (Brainmarks) for fMRI foundation models is released.

Learning to Generate Rigid Body Interactions with Video Diffusion Models

Recent video generation models have achieved remarkable progress and are now deployed in film, social media production, and advertising. Beyond their creative potential, such models also hold promise as world simulators for robotics and embodied decision making. Despite strong advances, current approaches still struggl...

AttentionViG: Cross-Attention-Based Dynamic Neighbor Aggregation in Vision GNNs

This work proposes a cross-attention-based aggregation method in which the query projections come from the node, while the key projections come from its neighbors, and introduces a novel architecture called AttentionViG that uses the proposed cross-attention aggregation scheme to conduct non-local message passing.

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.
