Breaking Failure Cascades: Step-Aware Reinforcement Learning for Medical Multimodal Reasoning

Across four multimodal LLM backbones, MRPO consistently outperforms standard GRPO and a recent RL baseline, and on Qwen3-VL-8B-Thinking even surpasses substantially larger medical MLLMs such as HuatuoGPT-Vision-34B by 4.59 points.

JoyAI-VL-Interaction: Real-Time Vision-Language Interaction Intelligence

Across six real-world scenarios, human raters prefer JoyAI-VL-Interaction over the in-app video-call assistants of Doubao and Gemini by a wide margin, and the first open, vision-driven interaction model released together with its training recipe, data, and complete deployable system.

Deep Learning-based 3D Oral Cavity Reconstruction Using 2D Intraoral Images

A software-based approach that reconstructs a 3D oral model using only ten 2D intraoral images captured from different angles, requiring no dedicated hardware devices is proposed, which reduces cost, eliminates the need for physical scanning equipment, minimises patient discomfort, and enables automated 3D reconstructi...

NVIDIA OmniDreams: Real-Time Generative World Model for Closed-Loop Autonomous Vehicle Simulation

Preliminary results indicate that a world-action model (WAM) post-trained from OmniDreams achieves strong performance on the Physical AI Autonomous Vehicles NuRec dataset, surpassing the VLA-based Alpamayo 1.5 research policy model while using only 1/5 the total parameters.

A Multimodal 3D Foundation Model for Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy Enables Few-Shot Segmentation, Classification, and Deblurring

This work introduces a 3D foundation model for LSM data, pretrained on a large curated collection of 3D images spanning multiple organisms, stains, and imaging protocols, and learns transferable volumetric representations by jointly optimizing for masked reconstruction and image-text alignment.

When Search Becomes Memory: Accelerating Robot Design Discovery with Self-Evolving Skills

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as proposal generators for evolutionary robot design, yet most loops remain memoryless: simulator results shape the next population but are not preserved as reusable design knowledge. We present Auto-Robotist, a self-evolving LLM agent that distills morphology-search t...

Interpreting and Enhancing Emotional Circuits in Large Vision-Language Models via Cross-Modal Information Flow

This work constructs a specialized dataset to demystify the emotional circuits underlying the three-stage ``Adapt-Aggregate-Execute''mechanism and discovers a functional decoupling: visual emotional cues are aggregated in middle layers via sentiment-specific attention heads, but are subsequently translated into narrati...

VLANeXt Family: A Systematic Study of VLA Models from Core Recipes to Emerging Paradigms

This study systematically dissects design choices along three dimensions: foundational components, perception essentials, and action modeling perspectives and distill 12 key findings that together form a practical recipe for building strong VLA models, resulting in a simple yet effective model, VLANeXt.

Cross-Task Generalization in Handwriting-Based Alzheimer's Screening via Vision Language Adaptation

A lightweight Cross-Layer Fusion Adapter (CLFA) framework that repurposes Contrastive Language--Image Pre-training for handwriting-based AD screening and progressively aligns pretrained vision--language representations with AD-related handwriting cues and supports transfer from supervised source tasks to task-disjoint...

Band-Attention Modulation Network for Robust Face Forgery Detection

The Band-Attention Modulation Network (BAM-Net) is proposed, a novel framework that pioneers learnable, fine-grained modulation of frequency components for forgery detection and exhibits exceptional generalization in cross-dataset, cross-compression, and cross-manipulation scenarios.

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.
