Aligning One-Step Generative Models with Reward-Weighted Transport Distillation

Theoretical analysis shows that the fixed-point distributions of RWTD interpolate between off-policy reward tilting of the reference and on-policy tilting of the current model, providing a principled approach to balancing reward adaptation with retention of prior knowledge.

Towards Unified Dynamic Face Landmark Detection

The approach, called Unified Dynamic FLD, streamlines the landmark detection pipeline by enabling a single model to learn on any number of ``N$-point''datasets, and yield any number of specific landmark predictions by loading the designated landmark queries at runtime.

Rebalancing Reference Frame Dominance to Improve Motion in Image-to-Video Models

DyMoS (Dynamic Motion Slider), a training-free and model-agnostic method that rebalances the attention pathway from generated frames to the reference frame during initial denoising steps, is proposed and demonstrated to improve motion dynamics while maintaining visual quality and fidelity to the reference image.

CaC: Advancing Video Reward Models via Hierarchical Spatiotemporal Concentrating

Concentrate and Concentrate (CaC) is a coarse-to-fine anomaly reward model based on Vision-Language Models that first conducts a global temporal scan to anchor anomalous time windows, then performs fine-grained spatial grounding within the localized interval, and finally derives robust judgments via structured spatiote...

Beyond Bag-of-Words: Diagnosing Compositional Binding Failures in Vision-Language Models

A fully automated, concept-driven pipeline that bridges the compositional gap by generating photorealistic compositional benchmarks at scale and uncovers a task-dependent trade-off: visio-linguistic context aids relational reasoning but hinders attribute binding through visual clutter.

Geometric-Photometric Event-based 3D Gaussian Ray Tracing

This work proposes GPERT, a framework to address the trade-off between accuracy and temporal resolution in event-based 3DGS, by decouple the rendering into two branches: event-by-event geometry (depth) rendering and snapshot-based radiance (intensity) rendering, by using ray-tracing and the image of warped events.

Prompt-Based Continual Compositional Zero-Shot Learning

This work proposes the first Prompt-based Continual Compositional Zero-Shot Learning (PromptCCZSL) framework that retains prior knowledge through recency-weighted multi-teacher distillation, and introduces a comprehensive protocol that jointly measures catastrophic forgetting and compositional generalization.

Demo: Generative AI helps Radiotherapy Planning with User Preference

A novel generative model that predicts 3D dose distributions based solely on user-defined preference flavors that enables planners to prioritize specific trade-offs between organs-at-risk (OARs) and planning target volumes (PTVs) offering greater flexibility and personalization is introduced.

Consist-Retinex: One-Step Noise-Emphasized Consistency Training Accelerates High-Quality Retinex Enhancement

Consist-Retinex is proposed, which first uses a Retinex Transformer Decomposition Network to obtain paired reflectance and illumination maps, then trains two conditional consistency models with a Retinex-aware dual objective and adaptive noise-emphasized fixed-point sampling.

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.
