Breaking Weather-Content Coupling: Type-Severity Guided Progressive Disentanglement for All-in-One Infrared Restoration

Infrared (IR) imaging is crucial for autonomous driving, remote sensing, and other perception tasks. However, adverse weather may introduce fake structural responses that are entangled with real thermal structures. Existing IR restoration methods are typically designed for a single degradation type or directly reconstr...

A Hierarchy-Aware Video-Language Model Evaluation and Hyperbolic Baseline for Surgery

Surgical procedures follow a phase-to-step hierarchy, yet the video-language models used to recognize them are evaluated with flat per-level metrics that ignore cross-level coherence and error structure. In this paper we make two contributions to address this problem, (i) we introduce SurgHiBench, the first hierarchy-a...

A 3D Pose-Based Ensemble Framework for Cricket Shot Classification and Automated Biomechanical Analysis

This paper proposes a system to improve cricket coaching that takes raw video data, extracts batsmen from video frames using YOLO, and extracts 3D pose data from video frames using MeTRAbs, and proposes a deep learning ensemble for shot classification of four shots: flick, pull, defense, and drive.

Cross-Modal Contrastive Learning from Histopathology and CT for Automated Renal Cell Carcinoma Grading

Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) exhibits substantial clinical heterogeneity, and accurate grade assessment is essential for risk stratification and treatment planning. However, conventional grading requires invasive tissue sampling. We developed RCC-Align, a cross-modal contrastive learning framewor...

Prompt, Probe, Train, or Annotate? Single-camera sports video understanding in amateur settings

Video understanding is usually benchmarked on curated, single-actor, or professionally filmed clips, and a strong score there is routinely read as evidence a model is robust enough for deployment. Amateur team sport is a useful, largely untested place to check that assumption: over eight million students played a schoo...

NV-Reason-CT: 3D Visual Language Model for CT Analysis

The NV-Reason-CT model, a generative vision--language model for chest and abdominal CT combining native 3D visual encoding with radiologist-guided reasoning, and the model and training code are released to support reproducible research on explainable AI for volumetric medical imaging.

When Visual Quality Misleads: Intent Recognition under Rendered Avatar Distortions

A controlled behavioral study of rendered 3D avatars across a pristine condition and fourteen geometric, photometric, temporal, and combined distortions reveals a quality--accuracy dissociation where distortion families affect appearance and communication differently.

Can Vision-Language Models Analyze Human-Centered Video? Mapping Model Capabilities and Human-AI Collaborative Workflows

This work systematically analyzes all 1,702 CHI 2026 full papers and identifies 125 that annotate videos, and derives a five-dimensional taxonomy spanning analytic purpose, viewpoint, phenomenon, reasoning requirement, and annotation authority to map the capabilities and limitations of a general-purpose VLM.

ASAP: Visual analytics for identifying and analyzing image patterns in AI-generated images

Generative image models can produce highly realistic images, raising concerns about potential misuse in creating deceptive content. Current deepfake approaches face several challenges, including limited generalizability, lack of interpretability, and poor actionability. To help address these, we present ASAP, an intera...

DreamAvoid: Critical-Phase Test-Time Dreaming to Avoid Failures in VLA Policies

This work proposes DreamAvoid, a critical-phase test-time dreaming framework that enables VLA models to anticipate and avoid failures, and introduces an autonomous boundary learning paradigm to refine the system's understanding of the subtle boundary between success and failure.

What Looks Like a Capability Limit in Vision-Language Models Is a Readout Limit

Benchmarks for vision-language models offer their answer choices in some convention: a letter, a color name, a pixel coordinate. That convention is treated as neutral. We find it is not, and that the limits a benchmark reports can belong to the readout rather than to the model. On 200 COCO photographs, Qwen3-VL-4B pi...

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.
