PALATE: Peculiar Application of the Law of Total Expectation to Enhance the Evaluation of Deep Generative Models

Deep generative models (DGMs) have caused a paradigm shift in the field of machine learning, yielding noteworthy advancements in domains such as image synthesis, natural language processing, and other related areas. However, a comprehensive evaluation of these models that effectively captures the interplay among fideli...

Taskonomy: Disentangling Task Transfer Learning

Do visual tasks have a relationship, or are they unrelated? For instance, could having surface normals simplify estimating the depth of an image? Intuition answers these questions positively, implying existence of a structure among visual tasks. Knowing this structure has notable values; it is the concept underlying tr...

Gibson Env: Real-World Perception for Embodied Agents

Developing visual perception models for active agents and sensorimotor control are cumbersome to be done in the physical world, as existing algorithms are too slow to efficiently learn in real-time and robots are fragile and costly. This has given rise to learning-in-simulation which consequently casts a question on wh...

Joints, Camera, Action! Co-Generating 3D Motion and Video for Arbitrary Rigs

Video generation models can now depict remarkably realistic motion. Yet it is unclear how to use this motion beyond pixels: to animate a specific 3D asset and replay the animation in its 3D scene. For instance, a video model can show a monkey jumping over a crossbar, but it cannot return that jump as replayable 3D moti...

UniWALM: Unified World Action Language Model for Embodied Robot Control

Motivated by the human ability to integrate experience across language, perception, and action, we introduce UniWALM, a unified world-action-language model that learns video, action, and language in a single shared representation, where each modality is both a conditioning signal and a supervision target. We ask: can j...

MindView: Benchmarking Generative Multi-View Spatial Intelligence

Spatial intelligence has recently been assessed through generative tasks such as spatially grounded image editing, yet language-guided generation of spatially consistent views from partial multi-view observations remains underexplored. We introduce MindView, a benchmark for generative multi-view spatial intelligence wi...

SceneRig: An Agentic System for Simulation-Ready 3D Scene Reconstruction from Single Images

Simulation is a powerful tool for robotics, but building diverse, simulation-ready scenes at scale remains difficult. Reconstructing scenes from single images is a promising alternative, but visual similarity alone is insufficient: objects must also be recovered, accurately placed, and physically grounded. Existing met...

VLM-Guided Contact Retargeting and Generative Partner Modeling for Humanoid-Human Interaction

Humanoid-human interaction requires robots to operate under severe partial observability: during close physical contact, the human partner is occluded, truncated, or outside the robot's field of view, causing pose estimation to fail and often necessitating external tracking or privileged human state. At the same time,...

WorldSR: Harnessing World Knowledge Search for Grounded Image Super-Resolution

Generative-prior-based super-resolution (SR) methods leverage implicit knowledge learned from large-scale models to enhance low-resolution inputs. However, such priors are inherently stochastic and optimized for diverse generation, conflicting with the deterministic, high-fidelity reconstruction required for SR. It is...

DISTRACT: Degradation-Indexed Study of Textual Reference Across Competing Targets

Vision-language trackers (VLTs) accept descriptions intended to assist tracking, but accepting text does not establish that its content changes tracking decisions, particularly as visual evidence deteriorates. We introduce DISTRACT, a matched-intervention benchmark that holds video, target, and distractor fixed while c...

Code2Video-Compass: A Comprehensive Benchmark for General-Purpose Code-Based Video Generation across T2V, I2V, and V2V

Code-based video generation offers fine-grained control, targeted editing, and component reuse compared with direct video generation. This approach requires multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to translate visual and temporal requirements into executable programs that produce complete videos. However, existing cod...

Brain2Vec: A Self-Supervised 3D Foundation Model for Structural Brain MRI

Deep learning models have become essential tools in medical imaging, yet training them end-to-end for diverse tasks remains challenging due to limited labeled data and computational constraints. To address this, we introduce Brain2Vec, a foundation model pre-trained on 74,425 T1-weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI...

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.
