Timeline-Bench: Evaluating Agents on Realistic Video-Editing Tasks, from Raw Footage to Final Cut

AI agents increasingly carry out long-horizon professional work, but their evaluations rarely require a finished creative deliverable. To this end, we introduce Timeline-Bench, a benchmark of 56 real video-editing tasks, each asking an agent to turn raw production material into a finished video. Tasks range from select...

OPIS: An Input-Grounded Benchmark for Multi-Object Memory in Video World Models

OPIS is introduced, an input-grounded benchmark that strictly anchors the assessment to a fixed set of object instances from the initial observation for evaluating multi-object memory in video world models and demonstrates that preserving the particular object instances in the input is considerably harder than generati...

Still There, No Longer Seen: Exposing Compression-Induced Risk in Large Vision-Language Models

Visual token compression reduces the inference cost of Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs). However, aggregate robustness measures do not reveal whether a particular adversarial failure is induced by compression or inherited from the underlying model. We define a compression-specific failure (CSF) as an adversarial in...

SPIDER: Multi-Layer Semantic Token Pruning and Adaptive Sub-Layer Skipping in Multimodal Large Language Models.

It is proposed that intermediate layer tokens from vision encoders should be considered for effective visual token pruning, as semantic focus shifts across layers, with middle-layer tokens capturing more detailed object-centric information that deeper layers may abstract away.

Just MLPs: Efficient Visual State Reconstruction for Multimodal Language Models

This work proposes $\delta$-Vision, which replaces repeated Transformer evolution of visual tokens with lightweight low-rank adapters that construct layer-wise visual memories while preserving all visual tokens for text retrieval, and achieves higher accuracy than visual token pruning baselines at comparable or lower c...

Don't Throw Away the Tail: Action Upcycling for Policy Acceleration

This work proposes Action Upcycling, a training-free algorithm that reuses actions the policy would otherwise discard, without accessing model internals or drawing extra samples, and finds that discarded actions stay close to their replanned versions as long as the action velocity remains smooth.

EviSplat: Preserving Multi-View Evidence in 3D Gaussian Splatting for Open-Vocabulary Segmentation

EviSplat is introduced, which preserves individual observation features as evidence for later text queries within class-agnostic 3D instances that represent objects, object parts, or background regions and learns a distribution describing which visual appearances its observations support.

ESTHER: Egocentric Stereo Hand Estimation and Reconstruction in the Wild

ESTHER is proposed, a model whose stereo geometry, temporal reasoning, and output representation are designed for wearable egocentric stereo, and shows state-of-the-art accu?racy, superior external generalization, and robustness to the missing views, dropped frames, and lighting and motion blur extremes of real egocen...

CoHuB: A Simulation Benchmark for Multi-Humanoid Collaboration

This work introduces CoHuB (Collaborative Multi-Humanoid Benchmark), a simulation benchmark for multi-humanoid collaboration under egocentric visual observations and provides a foundation for developing and evaluating multi-humanoid collaboration policies.

CoDrive: Cross-Vehicle World-Consistent Video Generation with Precise Trajectory Control for Cooperative Driving

Real-world driving is inherently multi-agent, yet most existing driving world models generate observations from a single ego vehicle. Independently extending them to multiple vehicles does not ensure that different agents observe a consistent shared world. We present CoDrive, a cross-vehicle, multi-view driving video g...

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.
