RAPID: Robot Agentic Programming from Demonstrations

This work introduces Robot Agentic Programming from Demonstrations (RAPID), which automatically generates, verifies, and refines robot programs, given a single visual human demonstration, using an object-centric relational program representation.

PoEM: Predicting RL Outcomes from Existing Policies

PoEM, a framework to predict the outputs of RL on a new reward function using a set of models already post-trained on other rewards, is introduced by introducing PoEM, a framework to predict the outputs of RL on a new reward function using a set of models already post-trained on other rewards.

TrackEverything: Long Horizon Dense Tracking via De-Duplicating 3D Scene Representations

TrackEverything is the first 3D tracker capable of tracking all visible points across videos exceeding 1000 frames within 40 GB of GPU memory, and 3D WAFT is proposed, replacing memory-prohibitive 4D correlation volumes with efficient feature sampling in the scene cloud.

Accelerating Video Diffusion via Training-Free Trajectory Routing

TRACK: TRajectory-Aware Capacity routing via top-K selection is presented, a heterogeneous denoising strategy that switches between compatible large and small models at selected steps, reducing the average cost per denoising evaluation.

GHOST-Q: Towards Studying Grounding Hallucinations Overlooked Under Same-score TradeOffs in Quantized VLMS

Post-training quantization of vision--language models (VLMs) is typically assessed through aggregate task accuracy and memory savings, but preserving a headline score does not guarantee preservation of visual grounding behavior. We present GHOST-Q, a cross-precision controlled evaluation of three 8B VLM families under...

ADATEX4D: adaptive texture capacity allocation for 4D gaussian splatting

This work introduces AdaTex4D, an adaptive texture-capacity module for deformation-based 4D Gaussian Splatting, and shows that dynamic, anisotropic texture allocation provides a more efficient way to distribute local appearance capacity in 4D Gaussian representations.

Mind What Matters for Reasoning: Aligning Cross-Modal Attention via Selective Probability Mass Concentration

SPMC, a training framework that identifies grounding-responsive heads and selectively regularizes their text-to-image attention, demonstrates that targeted guidance of sparse and implicit visual evidence pathways can directly improve multimodal reasoning.

An Empirical Study of VLM Pipelines for Long-Document QA

Three of the strongest pipelines succeed on different questions, and an oracle that picks the best pipeline per question gains roughly thirteen points over the best single pipeline, though evidence-type routing recovers almost none of it.

S2Planner: Multi-Scale Semantic Planner for End-to-End Autonomous Driving

S2Planner is presented, a trajectory planner that combines three front-facing cameras with ego-motion history and the current driving command, and a coarse-to-fine decoder then uses trajectory self-attention and camera-projected cross-attention to refine candidate waypoints.

ReCalMatch:Reliability-Calibrated Semantic Guidance for Semi-Supervised Fine-Grained Recognition

ReCalMatch is a reliability-calibrated semantic framework for semi-supervised fine-grained recognition that down-weights pseudo-labels that are visually confident but semantically inconsistent, and consistently improves strong SSL baselines.

Investigating White Blood Cells as a Source of False-Positive Malaria Parasite Detection in African Blood-Smear Images

White blood cells (WBCs) present on every Giemsa-stained thick blood smear share visual properties with early-stage Plasmodium falciparum ring-form trophozoites: small size, round morphology, and intense purple staining. They are a plausible but untested source of false positives in parasite-only detectors. We trained...

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.
