OneFixer: High-Quality and Consistent One-Step Autoregressive 3DGS Refinement for Driving Scenes

Autoregressive video diffusion is a promising render-time fixer for 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) in autonomous-driving simulation, but deployment demands high visual quality and temporal consistency at low latency. This is especially hard for one-step causal generation, where each imperfect prediction immediately becom...

ReFM: Semantic-Aware Refinement Flow Model for Motion Retargeting

ReFM is proposed, a source-mesh-agnostic, energy-guided model that reformulates motion retargeting as progressive refinement and progressively refines an initialized target motion through a learned flow guided by semantic consistency, physical plausibility, temporal coherence, and minimal motion modification.

Depth Any Seen: Which Surfaces and How Far?

When several surfaces are visible along a ray, recovering visible 3D structure from one image requires jointly estimating their presence and metric depth. Depth Any Seen represents these surfaces as image-conditioned multi-Bernoulli depth sets, whose components each contribute one depth or remain absent. Its auxiliary-...

TriO: Tri-Modal Unsupervised Occupancy World Model for Anything Perception

TriO is a multi-modal unsupervised world model that predicts 4D occupancy, obstacle segmentation, flow and LiDAR, and is able to segment any occupancy from the drivable surface, overcoming the limitations of existing open-set methods in handling long-tail objects.

CaptchaArena: A Large-Scale, Fine-Grained Dataset for Training Computer-Use Agents on Interactive CAPTCHAs

CaptchaArena, the first large-scale, fine-grained training dataset for interactive CAPTCHA solving, is presented and CaptchaAgent, a single 9B policy for all 20 CAPTCHA types, is trained with supervised fine-tuning followed by reinforcement learning.

Auditing Quality Filters for Long-Tail Human Data Curation

Robots on construction sites must detect workers who are kneeling or bending, which we call low poses. These workers can be lost from training datasets during automatic labeling. We study a pipeline that detects people, estimates their body joints using NLF, and groups similar poses. Low poses account for only about 2...

CueKFS: Agentic Cue-Driven Keyframe Selection for Long Video Understanding

A training-free method that reformulates question--frame matching as comparing frames against a set of dynamically generated visual cues, showing that agentic cue refinement drives active re-exploration of the video, yielding relative similarity gains of up to 92% over the initial context.

SynDORBench: Evaluating LVLM Perceptual Robustness Under Physically Constrained Visibility Conditions

Large vision-language models (LVLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance on multimodal reasoning benchmarks, yet their perceptual reliability under physically constrained imaging conditions remains poorly understood. Existing evaluations predominantly assume ideal visual inputs and therefore fail to characterize h...

A Surgical Foundation Model Reveals Task-Dependent Label Efficiency

Developing label-efficient models is a central challenge in surgical AI due to the high cost and scarcity of expert annotation. While self-supervised foundation models adapt well to new tasks with minimal data, how label efficiency varies across different surgical tasks remains largely unexplored. Here, we introduce SU...

Video-to-Music Generation for Gameplay Videos

Video-to-music models have advanced considerably in the last few years, particularly in film and music video applications. In this paper, we investigate this problem in the video game domain, which introduces new challenges for these models: video frames are rendered graphics, music is mostly synthetic audio, and sound...

Robot Manipulation with GPT-6-Astra: Body Knowledge, Experience Reuse, Emergent Skills, and Sim2Real Transfer

A practical way to build general-purpose manipulation experiments around GPT-6-Astra is suggested: supply machine-readable body descriptions and synchronized demonstrations, and turn useful agent-generated feedback routines into reusable skills, while the agent adapts actions from current images.

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.
