Vision2CAD: A Visual Agent Harness for Explicit Geometry Referencing and Localization in Parametric CAD Modeling

Vision2CAD is presented, a visual agent harness that combines vision-language model (VLM) reasoning with deterministic CAD kernel operations and the Geometry Explicit Reference Dataset (GERD), which aligned commands, geometry states and IDs at every modeling step.

Math2Visual-X: A Modular Framework for Pedagogically Aligned Lower-Primary Math Visuals Generation

Visual representations can help lower-primary learners understand Math Word Problems, but generating classroom-usable visuals remains difficult. Existing symbolic systems are controllable but limited in coverage, while end-to-end text-to-image systems often fail to satisfy exact mathematical constraints. This paper pre...

Beyond the Leaderboard: Counterfactual Diagnosis of End-to-End and VLA Driving Policies Under Domain Shift

End-to-end and vision-language-action (VLA) driving policies are compared by leaderboard rank, but a rank reports an outcome, not the behaviour behind it, so it predicts poorly how a policy will behave at a new site. On six released policies, rank on nuScenes open-loop error or on NAVSIM's leaderboard does not carry ov...

AffordanceWAM: Affordance-Aware Joint World-Action Modeling for Robot Manipulation

AffordanceWAM is introduced, an affordance-aware generative World Action Model that represents object-centric spatiotemporal affordance through Scalar Affordance and Affordance Heatmap, within the generated future World, and supports affordance as an effective interface for both vision-language-action learning and huma...

Visual Graph Reasoning via Knowledge Compilation

VGCompiler organizes reasoning around two compilers: a representation compiler that recovers a structure-preserving intermediate graph representation from visual input, and an operation compiler that compiles query intent under the recovered graph state into an executable graph operation.

GameReplica: A Benchmark for Black-Box Visual Game Replication by Vision-Language Agents

Coding-agent benchmarks usually evaluate implementation after the target behavior has been specified in text, code, or demonstrations. Existing research has extensively evaluated the ability of coding agents to generate programs from textual specifications. However, under black-box conditions where neither source code...

Authority-Preserving Evaluation of Medical Vision-Language Assistants

AuthEval is introduced, a logging and evaluation framework that records both actions, scores the selected action under declared local criteria, and, where feasible, scores the declined proposal under the same rule, and clarifies whether a study's records support claims about the model, the workflow, or both.

On The Robustness-Resolution Tradeoff In Temporal Quantization Of Event Streams

This work defines a class of nonnegative, mass-preserving, resolution-faithful continuous encoders and proves that every encoder in this class has global L1 sensitivity at least 2/Delta, where Delta denotes bin width, and shows that linear two-bin interpolation attains this limit.

Validating, Not Sampling: Region-Level Robustness of Vision-Language and Vision-Language-Action Models

This VLM and VLA robustness validation shows that robustness is mostly dependent on the perturbation type, rather than the model, and that VLMs are more robust to large camera rotations than VLAs, and that robustness depends more on model family than on model size.

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.
