Diffusion Drafts, AR Verifies: Accelerating Document OCR with Self-Speculative Decoding

GravityOCR is introduced, a parameter-shared AR-block-diffusion model jointly trained for parallel drafting and causal AR verification, and Verifying drafts before commitment lets the model commit multiple output tokens per round without a separate drafting network.

Modality-Gated Deep Adapters: Adding a Modality to a Frozen Embedding Model with Exact Preservation

Multimodal embedding models are deployed at scale: retrieval indices, benchmark results, and behavioral audits all depend on the base model's exact outputs. Extending such a model to a new modality with existing parameter-efficient methods silently changes those outputs; LoRA-style adaptation rewrites the text path whe...

ChainDoRA: Tensor-Train Factorized Weight-Decomposed Low-Rank Adaptation for Parameter-Efficient LLM Fine-Tuning

ChainDoRA is proposed, a weight-decomposed adaptation framework that constructs the directional low-rank factors from a connected Tensor-Train (TT) chain, where the adapter rank forms the boundary rank between input- and output-side TT contractions and an independent TT rank controls representation capacity and paramet...

Quasi-SVD: Learning a Lie-constrained matrix factorisation for real-time imaging

Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) underlies matrix factorisation tasks across many fields, with imaging applications demanding real-time processing. Yet SVD algorithms are inherently sequential, constraining real-time GPU throughput and limit online deployment in imaging pipelines. This study introduces a fully parall...

Rethinking Post-Hoc Calibration in Semantic Segmentation

This work characterize translation-invariant (TI) calibrators and construct TI counterparts of shift-sensitive methods and introduces more expressive class-conditional affine calibrators that preserve decisions under argmax- and order-preservation constraints.

Semantic-Anchored Evidential Fusion for Domain-Robust Whole-Slide Survival Analysis

Whole-slide images (WSIs) are widely used for computational cancer prognosis. However, most existing methods primarily focus on in-domain performance and fail to generalize across clinical centers. This limitation stems from their reliance on pixel-derived representations that are highly susceptible to domain-specific...

Parameter-Efficient Adaptation of Pre-Trained Vision Foundation Models for Active and Passive Seismic Data Denoising

The demand for high-resolution subsurface imaging and continuous Earth monitoring has driven rapid growth in active and passive seismic data from dense geophone deployments, distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) arrays, and large-scale 2D and 3D surveys. This expansion makes complex noise suppression increasingly challeng...

Unified Multimodal Uncertain Inference

CLUE (Calibrated Latent Uncertainty Estimation), which combines self-consistent teacher calibration and distribution-based confidence probing to produce calibrated predictions, is introduced, which achieves equivalent or stronger performance than zero-shot baselines up to 32B parameters across all modalities.

Lifelong Learning of Video Diffusion Models From a Single Video Stream

It is demonstrated that training autoregressive video diffusion models from such a stream, resembling the experience of embodied agents, is not only possible but can also perform comparably to standard offline training given the same number of gradient steps.

MMAP: Multimodal Missing-Aware Pretraining for Longitudinal Alzheimer's Prediction

MMAP is presented, a novel Multimodal Missing-aware Alignment Pretraining method for learning image-tabular representations from incomplete data that outperforms strong multimodal and unimodal baselines on two challenging longitudinal clinical tasks for Alzheimer's disease.

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.
