GTR: Gated Token Recurrence for Efficient Dense Prediction

Results show that recurrent token mixing can provide an efficient alternative to global softmax attention for high-resolution dense prediction and edge deployment, and are shown to be faster than FLA v0.5.

One Domain, Many Tongues: Composing Domain and Language LoRAs for Cross-Lingual Remote-Sensing MLLMs without Paired Data

Remote-sensing (RS) multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are trained and evaluated only in English, while text-only instruction data covers over 100 languages. We propose MODL (Mutually Orthogonal Domain-Language composition), a recipe that adds new languages to an English RS MLLM without a single multilingual RS e...

Faithful Faithfulness Evaluations: Challenges&Pitfalls Learned from a Breast MRI Case Study

Saliency maps are widely used to explain deep learning predictions in medical imaging, yet visually plausible explanations do not necessarily reflect a model's true decision process and may therefore mislead clinicians. We investigate this problem using a Vision Transformer-based breast MRI classifier trained on the OD...

Visual Jev: Accurate and Efficient Decisions from Shared Visual Context

Many vision applications ask several independent, forced-choice questions about the same image. Visual Jev encodes the image and public context once, executes isolated question suffixes as a batch, and reads candidate probabilities from the backbone's language-model head. Across four benchmarks, answer-supervised post-...

CODA: Depth-Aligned Scene Completion and Object Decomposition from a Single RGB-D Image

Robots operating safely in cluttered everyday environments often need to infer scene geometry from partial observations. Methods that detect objects in 2D and reconstruct them independently struggle in such scenes: a missed object is never reconstructed, a merged detection can fuse two objects, and separately reconstru...

SAM-V: Geometry-Aware Segment Anything for Multi-View Instance Segmentation

SAM-V introduces a prompt-fusion mechanism that enriches sparse SAM prompt tokens with view-specific camera tokens and local VGGT features, making the prompt representation both view-aware and spatially grounded, together with a mask decoder that attends to dense 2D and 3D features.

MIND the Gap: A Geographic Implicit Neural Representation with Adjustable Spatial Scale

Geographic measurements are often sparse, leaving large areas without labels for the quantities we want to map. Geographic implicit neural representations (INRs) address this by learning smooth, general-purpose embeddings that can be queried at any coordinate. Downstream models combine these embeddings with sparse labe...

Sex Estimation from Footwear Outsole Impressions Using CNN Transfer Learning and Interpretable Image Statistics

Footwear outsole impressions are a common form of forensic pattern evidence, yet quantitative methods for estimating wearer attributes from these images remain relatively underdeveloped. We investigate binary sex estimation from footwear outsole impressions by comparing convolutional neural network (CNN) transfer learn...

Calibration Count Reuse: Validity Does Not Determine Efficiency

Calibration count reuse raises separate validity and efficiency questions. We give a validity criterion for general count-dependent nonconformity scores: transferring one count from another class to the scored class must not improve its conformity. A leave-self-out full conformal reference proves the criterion without...

SPARC: SuperPixel-Aware Region Contrastive Learning for Self-Supervised Dense Prediction

SPARC is proposed, a region-level contrastive learning framework that leverages superpixels to establish explicit correspondence between augmented image views, and introduces a region contrastive branch that performs superpixel-based feature pooling and optimizes a region-level contrastive objective jointly with a glob...

Label-Efficient Learning for Ground-Based Sky-Image Classification: A Benchmark of Transfer Learning, Active Learning, and Pseudo-Labeling on GCD

Accurate ground-based cloud classification is important for atmospheric monitoring, solar-energy forecasting, aviation weather assessment, and climate observation systems. However, reliable sky-image annotation is time-consuming, especially when cloud types are visually similar or mixed. We study the label efficiency o...

Notes on Fourier-Bessel wavelets

These notes develop the mathematical foundations and construction of a Fourier-Bessel wavelet family inspired by the disk harmonics of Shaqfa et al.[9]. We begin with the relevant properties of Bessel and modified Bessel functions and introduce the wavelet properties required for the construction. We then derive the Fo...

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.
