VGGT-Diff: Visual Geometry Meets Diffusion for Sparse-View Novel View Synthesis

This work presents VGGT-Diff, a geometry-routed multi-view diffusion model for sparse-view novel view synthesis, and introduces robust geometry conditioning, combining training-time regularization with inference-time guidance for improved robustness.

Scope-WM: Scoped Computation for Efficient Visual World Models

Visual world models enable robotic planning by predicting future observations, but dense latent-state propagation and sample-intensive trajectory optimization incur high inference latency and peak memory usage, limiting real-time deployment on resource-constrained platforms. Existing sparse world-model acceleration met...

Dynamic Manipulation with World-Action Models via Counterfactual Planning

DPP enables real-time dynamic manipulation on a single consumer GPU without additional training on dynamic data and constructs a counterfactual observation that places a predicted target position in a familiar robot context, allowing the model to invoke an existing manipulation skill rather than generate a recovery beh...

FOCUS: Benchmarking Retinal Model Generalization from Foundation Vision Encoders to Multimodal LLMs

FOCUS provides a practical framework and public benchmark to assess generalization, reliability, and robustness beyond single-dataset leaderboards and demonstrates that retinal model evaluation is inherently multidimensional.

Toward Comprehensive 3D Grounding: Orientation Grounding through Vision-Language Models

Ori, a referring grounding task that predicts an object's 6D orientation and axial symmetry from a language or box query in single-view or multi-view scenes, substantially outperforms orientation-aware VLM baselines and surpasses object-level orientation foundation models on scene-level referring benchmarks, showing th...

Query, Align, and Distill: Navigation-Aware Cross-Modal Interaction for Efficient Vision-and-Language Navigation

A high-performing teacher is built that makes navigation evidence selection explicit and compressible, and a compact student is trained by transferring both where to attend and what to do, then further match action distributions during fine-tuning.

OneSign: Unifying Sign Language Understanding Tasks with One Model

SLU encompasses a diverse set of tasks, including ISLR, CSLR, and SLT. Although these tasks share basic semantic and linguistic foundations, they are typically addressed with task-specific architectures and training pipelines, which hinders knowledge sharing and requires costly pretraining and finetuning for each task....

SemReward-VL: Semantic Reward-Guided Video-Language Adaptation for Developmental Behavior Assessment

Developmental screening videos show how children perform specific behaviors, but clinical records usually contain outcomes rather than descriptions of what happened. We present SemReward-VL, which learns to describe item-specific behavior from these outcomes. A vision-language model generates a description, and a froze...

NutriVision: Ingredient-Conditioned Fusion and Prediction for Single-Image Food Nutrition Estimation

Nutrition estimation is a fundamental task in consumer diet tracking, clinical dietetics, chronic disease management, sports and hospital nutrition, and broader food computing systems. The existing approaches have progressed along two largely separate axes, vision models that rely on calibrated RGB-depth captures and i...

DynamicDx: Evaluating Evidence Acquisition in Video-Based Diagnosis

DynamicDx evaluates each step in 71 neurological consultations across 11 sign categories, linking authentic patient videos to confirmed diagnoses and fixed charts built from the same case reports, so that every model queries the same 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.
