Small yet Assistive: Spatially-Aware Post-Training for Low Vision

Results show that BLV-focused post-training improves both accessibility-specific spatial grounding and general visual-text reasoning, and is substantially outperforms the baseline across various benchmarks.

What, When, and How: Audio Description as Constrained Global Optimization

This hybrid system uses large language models to propose and ground visual elements, estimate their salience to the narrative, and generate compressed realizations, which makes better decisions than prompted LLMs about what to describe and when to describe it.

Open-access model for detecting openly dumped dispersed municipal solid waste from crowdsourced UAV imagery in Sub-Saharan Africa

Managing municipal solid waste in rapidly urbanizing Sub-Saharan Africa remains challenging due to dispersed informal dumping and limited high-resolution datasets for spatial monitoring. We present an open-access deep learning model for automated detection of openly dumped dispersed solid waste via crowdsourced UAV ima...

CatSIM: A Categorical Image Similarity Metric

CatSIM uses a structural similarity image quality paradigm and is robust to small perturbations in location so that structures in similar, but not entirely overlapping, regions of two images are rated higher than using simple matching.

GOMA: Toward Structure-Driven Multimodal Alignment from a Graph Signal Smoothing Perspective

Graph-Optimized Multimodal Alignment (GOMA), which lets a jointly trained model support single-modality and dual-attribute retrieval through a task-specific readout, achieves state-of-the-art performance on all 14 primary measures against 14 external methods.

AIR: Analytic Imbalance Rectifier for Continual Learning

An analytic imbalance rectifier (AIR) algorithm for real-world CL is proposed that addresses class imbalance with an analytic reweighting module (ARM) that calculates a reweighting factor for each class in the loss function to equalize total sample weights across classes.

The Alignment Illusion in Multimodal Large Language Models

Internal visual-text alignment in MLLMs is best read as a geometric diagnostic of the visual stream inside the language model rather than a direct proxy for content-level cross-modal interaction, and is most informative when calibrated by controlled task evidence.

Not All Confusion Is Equal: A Source-Aware Uncertainty Diagnosis for Fine-Grained Aircraft Detection

It is argued that confusion can be attributed to distinct, separable sources, each quantitatively measurable, turning a passive measurement into actionable guidance, and presents A^2E^2, a diagnostic tool that decomposes the sources of confusion along two axes.

Efficient Continuous DEM Reconstruction under Limited Target-Resolution Supervision

The value of reusable coefficient fields for accurate reconstruction beyond the supervised resolution with low incremental arithmetic cost is demonstrated and SCOPE leads the compared methods across six metrics in the main supervised-scale 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.
