JIVE: Jacobian-Informed Volume Expansion for Diverse Generative Sampling

JIVE is introduced, a training-free framework that enhances generative diversity by injecting velocity perturbations aligned with the leading right singular subspace of the generator's endpoint Jacobian, which provably maximizes endpoint diversity while preserving sample quality.

Program-Verified Self-Evolution for Vision-Language Models

Verifiable QA Generation for Self-Evolving Models (VQS) is presented, which changes how the model judges answers and improves Qwen3-VL by up to 3.18 points at the 2B, 4B, and 8B scales and outperforms the strongest self-evolving baseline at each.

Augmenting Visual Anomaly Detection with Automated Interpretability

Visual anomaly detectors identify deviations from known-normal data, but their anomaly signals may mix evidence of actual anomalies with benign visual variation. We investigate whether automated interpretability can augment visual anomaly detectors by identifying and intervening on different components of this signal....

MinkowskiPE: Minkowski Positional Encoding for Spatiotemporal Perception

Modeling spatiotemporal coupling is a key challenge in building physical intelligence across scales, from microscopic to macroscopic. Existing models capture such structure broadly through physics-motivated dynamical formulations or learning-motivated architectures. The former provide stronger priors but may constrain...

When Noise Meets Long-Tail: Feature-Threshold Dual Calibration for Robust Pseudo-Labeling

The results establish that jointly calibrating features and thresholds is essential for robust pseudo-labeling under compounded noise and class imbalance, and propose FTC-Seg, a Feature-Threshold dual-Calibration framework built on a standard teacher-student framework.

StoryEngine: A State-Grounded Agentic Framework for Video Storytelling

StoryEngine is proposed, a state-grounded agentic framework for video storytelling that maintains a structured representation of entity placement and story-relevant states, and propagates event-induced changes to define the intended start and end states of each shot.

SpatialSpeak: QA-Native Reconstruction with Local and Global Context for Spatial Chain-of-Thought Reasoning

SpatialSpeak is introduced, a two-stage framework that connects QA-native reconstruction pretraining with spatial CoT learning and achieves state-of-the-art results on ReVSI, VSI-Bench, and SPAR-Bench, with a ReVSI score of 62.8 that exceeds the strongest compared baseline by 8.7 points.

ViCoR: Reliable Molecular Structure Extraction via Spatially Aligned Verification and Executable Revision

ViCoR, a repair-before-rejection framework for iterative VerIfiCatiOn and Revision, is proposed, a repair-before-rejection framework for iterative VerIfiCatiOn and Revision that automatically produces reliable structured outputs while rejecting unresolved cases.

Chameleon: Dynamic Format Adapter for Efficient Diffusion

Chameleon is proposed, a PTQ framework that holds the bit-width fixed and treats the format itself as a discrete variable, chosen per weight channel and per (layer, timestep bucket) activation tensor.

TTRSD: Test-Time Reinforcement Learning with Self-Distillation for Vision-Language Models

TTRSD separates update direction from update position, determined by group-relative advantages, from update position, determined by visual sensitivity, without requiring ground-truth labels, external verifiers, or a separate teacher, demonstrating cross-dataset generalization while preserving inherent reasoning integri...

Resolving State-Representation Mismatch: State-Space Visual Reasoning for Open-Loop VLA Planning

Despite rapid progress in vision-language-action (VLA) models, existing reasoning paradigms still face a fundamental \emph{state-representation mismatch} in open-loop planning. Given only an initial observation, models must internally simulate action-conditioned state transitions, whereas text-, pixel-, and latent-spac...

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.
