VG-TIE: An interpretable tabular-to-image encoding method based on visibility graphs

Experiments show that VG-TIE is competitive with other tabular-to-image methods while providing interpretability on feature importance and ranking similar to intrinsic interpretable methods, and highlights the potential of the proposed image-based transformation to provide an effective framework that expands the use of...

Albireo: Adaptive, Energy-Efficient Inference Framework for Video Object Detection on the Edge

Albireo is presented, a detector-agnostic, codec-free adaptive inference framework that wraps off-the-shelf detectors and decides when detector invocation can be safely skipped based on scene content and per-object temporal state, requiring no detector modification or retraining.

Learning a Flow to Self-Supervised Representations

Flow-Based Distribution Matching is introduced, a non-adversarial framework that learns this reference-directed geometry through spherical conditional velocity regression that achieves performance nearly on par with DM and remains competitive with existing SSL methods.

Where Hallucinations Live: A Cross-Architecture Circuit in VQ-Tokenized Vision-Language Models

Unified vision-language models (VLMs) that tokenize images through a vector-quantized (VQ) codebook routinely hallucinate objects on grounded yes/no benchmarks, yet existing decoding-time fixes treat this as generic miscalibration without an architectural account. Using activation patching across twenty-five models spa...

Multimodal Routing and Region Refinement for Language-Guided Medical Image Segmentation

Textual descriptions can reduce ambiguity in medical image segmentation by specifying the finding and location to be delineated. Existing text-guided methods mainly improve where image and language features interact but generally retain a single learned update pathway across all image-text pairs. We propose MRSeg, a pa...

M-plicits: Neural Implicit Surfaces via Nested Multiscale Residuals

Encoding input coordinates with sinusoidal functions into multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs) has proven effective for implicit neural representations (INRs) of surfaces defined as zero-level sets. However, existing methods often struggle to balance training efficiency, rendering speed, and noise robustness: single-MLP appr...

UltraBench 2: Towards Robust Evaluation of Vision Foundation Models on Ultrasound

This work introduces UltraBench 2, a comprehensive benchmark with wide anatomical and task coverage, and a focus on standardization, reproducibility, and ease-of-use, and demonstrates that ultrasound-specific pretraining still leads on classification, but that state-of-the-art general-purpose models have drawn level on...

CARE: Condition-Aware Representation Regularization for Diffusion Models

Recent advances in diffusion models highlight the importance of representation regularization for improving sample quality and training efficiency. However, commonly used regularization methods often overlook the built-in conditions (such as labels or texts) which directly determine the generation target. In this work,...

SOV-CAD: Stepwise Orthographic Views Guided CAD Modeling Sequence Reconstruction

SOV-CAD is proposed, a framework that formulates CAD reconstruction as a sequential decision-making task and employs offline reinforcement learning with a Decision Transformer architecture that incorporates continuous visual feedback guided by geometric alignment rewards, resulting in a more accurate and human-like mod...

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.
