ACEdit: Stable Multi-Turn Image Editing via Asymmetric Conditioning

Image editing models produce impressive results for individual edits, but their quality often deteriorates over multiple editing turns. Each editing turn introduces small distribution shifts that accumulate over successive edits, creating a gap between the input distributions encountered during the editor's original tr...

AVC-Reward: Event-Centric Audio-Video Consistency Evaluation

An event-centric evaluation framework that disentangles audio and visual events at the event level, analyzes each event independently, cross-validates relations across modalities, and aggregates the judgments into a coarse-to-fine, three-level consistency metric, providing a general formulation for audio-video consiste...

OS-Helix: Unifying GUI Interaction and Code Execution in Native Computer-Using Agents

Real desktop automation is neither purely visual nor purely programmatic. Agents must understand user-facing interfaces while efficiently manipulating files, scripts, and system state. However, native GUI/code coordination cannot be obtained by prompt-level tool composition. In our preliminary experiments, naively addi...

TRACE: Topology-Aware Reconnection via Prediction-Adaptive Connectivity Enforcement for Thin-Structure Segmentation

TRACE, a topology-aware, prediction-adaptive objective that uses a target skeleton to define required local connections, and introduces a topology-aware skeleton carrier that preserves both foreground and class-specific topology, enabling reliable definition of these connections.

Motion- and Gravity-Aware Feedforward 3D Reconstruction

This work introduces a motion- and gravity-aware framework under the Learning Using Privileged Information (LUPI) paradigm, and suggests that LUPI offers a practical way to inject motion and physical priors into feed-forward 3D reconstruction without increasing test-time complexity.

Memory as Weights: Internalizing Long-Term History for Streaming Videos

Streaming vision-language models (VLMs) must continuously integrate information from the past while remaining responsive to current observations and user queries. Existing memory mechanisms typically compress, retrieve, or cache historical observations and reintroduce them into the input context, forcing historical mem...

Following Delegation Traces to Study Human Oversight in Interaction with Multimodal AI

As multimodal AI systems are becoming our everyday thought partners, the shift towards studying how users transfer control to these systems becomes especially urgent. In this paper, we report an overview of findings from an online study with n=56 AI-literate participants and 392 Video Question Answering trials. After i...

BridgeAfford: Bridging Query-Target Gap for Generalizable 3D Affordance Grounding

Cross-object alignment among geometrically similar interaction regions during training enables structures on unseen objects that resemble previously observed ones to produce representations similar to those learned during training, facilitating target-region recognition.

Anvil: Scaling Embodied Spatial Intelligence through Knowledge Recirculation

Embodied spatial intelligence requires more than visual recognition: models must localize entities, reason about their relations, and express this knowledge in action-relevant forms. Yet joint training can conflate the knowledge needed at different stages because supervision is fragmented across incompatible geometric...

DINO-FIL: Multi-Layer Transformer Fusion for Generative Inpainting Forgery Localization

We propose DINO-FIL, a transformer-based framework for pixel-level localization of generative image forgeries. The method leverages multi-layer representations from a pretrained DINOv3 ViT-H+/16 encoder combined with a lightweight fusion decoder to capture both semantic structure and fine-grained texture inconsistencie...

Can Visual Generation Expand What Unified Multimodal Models Know?

Unified multimodal models (UMMs) receive image-generation supervision that exposes them to visual information not fully documented in text. Can learning to generate images expand what pretrained models know? We introduce Knowledge Transfer Probing (KTP), a controlled protocol that supplies new knowledge through image-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.
