Unsupervised spiking feature learning for event-based pedestrian crossing detection: approaching supervised accuracy without labelled training data

The findings indicate that the accuracy cost of removing labels from feature learning is small on this benchmark, and that reported weaknesses of unsupervised spiking networks may be attributable to the readout protocol rather than to the learning rule.

Query-aligned video frame selection for long video understanding

This work introduces a frame-selection method designed specifically for multiple-choice questions, and is the first to directly utilize answer choices as inference-time cues for selecting frames relevant to answering a question.

Age-Adaptive Handwriting Reconstruction from an IMU-Based Digital Pen through Shared Representations and Domain-Specific Heads

A cross-domain learning model is proposed, using an original neural network architecture based on a Temporal Convolutional Network and multiple prediction heads, designed to improve handwriting trace reconstruction from sensor data, where each domain benefits from additional data provided by the other domain.

Cross-Dataset Transfer and Unknown-Class Detection in Imbalanced SAR Ship Classification

Six pretrained models on two SAR ship datasets are evaluated in in-domain classification, cross-dataset transfer, and unknown-class detection, showing that cross-dataset generalization in SAR remains limited and that task-specific uncertainty scores are often more informative than MC-dropout variance for held-out-class...

Enhancing Foundation Models for Imbalanced SAR Ship Classification via Targeted Oversampling

Remote-sensing foundation models offer strong representations for SAR imagery, but their behavior under severe long-tail class imbalance is still not well characterized, so four oversampling methods in embedding space exclusively to minority classes are applied and a lightweight classifier head is trained on the augmen...

Temporal-Attention Head Specialization During Video Diffusion Training

Checkpoint-resolved, per-head analysis under fixed selection rules can expose sparse temporal organization in other factorized video diffusion transformers and, with adapted routing metrics, in joint spatio-temporal architectures.

PalmLeaf-VQA: A Multi-Script Visual Question Answering Benchmark for Historical Palm-Leaf Manuscript Understanding Across Diverse Regions

PalmLeaf-VQA provides a standardized benchmark for advancing culturally grounded and layout-aware multimodal document analysis and reveals substantial limitations in current MLLMs for rare-script, degraded-layout, and preservation-oriented document understanding.

SciFlow-Bench: Evaluating Structure-Aware Scientific Diagram Generation via Inverse Parsing

Scientific diagrams convey explicit structural information, yet modern text-to-image models often produce visually plausible but structurally incorrect results. Existing benchmarks either rely on image-centric or subjective metrics insensitive to structure, or evaluate intermediate symbolic representations rather than...

Sol-H3: Recursive Self-Improvement for MiniMax-H3 Inference Acceleration on Sol-Engine across Cloud and Edge

A cross-resolution two-stage generation scheduler is introduced that exploits the step-wise nature of diffusion, completely eliminating the computationally expensive VAE decode-reencode cycle for resolution transferring cross different resolutions.

JRDB-AVR: An Active Visual Reasoning Benchmark for Embodied Agents in Real-World Environments

JRDB-AVR is introduced, a benchmark derived from existing real-world JRDB robotics data through a structured question-generation engine that turns this gap between answer accuracy and evidence accuracy in current baselines into an explicit evaluation.

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.
