Lingshu: A Generalist Foundation Model for Unified Multimodal Medical Understanding and Reasoning

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in understanding common visual elements, largely due to their large-scale datasets and advanced training strategies. However, their effectiveness in medical applications remains limited due to the inherent discrepancies between data and...

3D-MoE: Towards Spatial Intelligence with Mixture-of-Experts for 3D Reasoning and Action Generation

Spatial intelligence, encompassing 3D perception and reasoning, is the essential next frontier of AI. Scaling current 3D vision-language models (VLMs) that rely on dense Transformers for spatial tasks incurs prohibitive computational costs. In this paper, we introduce 3D-MoE, a 3D VLM leveraging an efficient mixture-of...

SLICEChat: Progressive In-Encoder Token Pruning for Whole-Slide Pathology Language Models

SLICEChat is introduced, a slide-level MLLM that integrates progressive token pruning within a hybrid Mamba--Transformer slide encoder, which demonstrates accurate and computationally efficient multimodal reasoning over gigapixel WSIs.

Representation-guided in-context learning for medical image interpretation with multimodal large language models

RG-ICL is introduced, a training-free inference framework that retrieves query-aligned demonstrations using frozen encoders, without task-specific parameter updates, and indicates that for medical image interpretation, curating which reference cases an MLLM sees is a practical alternative to retraining it.

Collapse, Not Complexity: Failure-Conditioned Decomposition Repair for End-to-End Document Parsing

End-to-end document parsers increasingly offer an optional reasoning mode for complex pages. On a 180-page entropy-stratified discovery sample with one frozen 4B checkpoint, complexity is the wrong decision variable. Reasoning lowers mean quality by 2.21 Overall at 1.54x tokens; a preregistered input-only model cannot...

Knowing When to Trust Images: Reliability-Aware Multi-modal Entity Alignment

A novel Reliability-Aware framework for MMEA (RA-MMEA), which assesses visual reliability and adaptively improves unreliable visual representations for robust entity alignment and enables more reliable visual representations for modality fusion, thereby improving performance.

GraRe: Grasp Candidate Re-Ranking for Frozen 6-DoF Grasp Detectors

GraRe is proposed, which estimates grasp quality from candidate attributes, shell-stratified local geometry, and object context, and which shows that improving candidate ranking provides a practical way to enhance frozen 6-DoF grasp detectors.

Rethinking Multi-Branch and Cross-Backbone Fusion for Vehicle Re-Identification under Foundation-Model Pretraining

Multi-branch architectures and CNN-Transformer fusion are widely believed to improve vehicle re-identification (Re-ID) by combining complementary representations. We revisit this for a DINOv3-pretrained backbone. A single DINOv3-pretrained ConvNeXt with a tuned recipe reaches 88.19 mAP on VeRi-Wild Small and 77.47 on L...

Can Generalist Agents Automate Data Curation?

Curating training data is among the most consequential yet labor-intensive parts of modern AI development: practitioners iteratively propose, implement, evaluate, and revise data policies against noisy benchmark feedback. We ask whether generalist coding agents can automate this data-curation loop. We introduce *Curati...

BoundInk: Boundary-Aware Online Handwriting Generation

Realistic online handwriting depends not only on individual character shapes, but also on how a writer connects, spaces, and aligns adjacent characters. Existing methods rely primarily on long-range sequence modeling and capture these inter-character behaviors only implicitly. This often produces plausible glyphs accom...

On Learning Spatial Structure from Pre-Beamforming Per-Antenna Range-Doppler Radar Measurements

Automotive radar perception pipelines commonly construct angle-domain representations via beamforming before applying learning-based models. This work instead investigates a representational question: can meaningful spatial structure be learned directly from pre-beamforming per-antenna range-Doppler (RD) measurements?...

SenCache: Accelerating Diffusion Model Inference via Sensitivity-Aware Caching

Diffusion models achieve state-of-the-art video generation quality, but their inference remains expensive due to the large number of sequential denoising steps. This has motivated a growing line of research on accelerating diffusion inference. Among training-free acceleration methods, caching reduces computation by reu...

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.
