LiteMedCoT-VL: Parameter-Efficient Adaptation for Medical Visual Question Answering

LiteMedCoT-VL is introduced, a pipeline that transfers chain-of-thought reasoning from a 235B teacher model to 2B student models through LoRA-based fine-tuning on explanation-enriched training data, and indicates that a 2B model with reasoning distillation can match or exceed models with twice the parameters.

REALM: An RGB and Event Aligned Latent Manifold for Cross-Modal Perception

This work proposes REALM, a cross-modal framework that learns an RGB- and Event-Aligned Latent Manifold by projecting event representations into the pretrained latent space of RGB foundation models, and demonstrates state-of-the-art performance in wide-baseline feature matching, significantly outperforming specialized...

Diagnostic-Guided Longitudinal Modeling for Forecasting Retinal Atrophy Progression

Temporal Retinal U-Net is developed, a deterministic single-pass predictor conditioned on irregular imaging history and prediction horizon that achieved the strongest overall performance among the evaluated classical and deep-learning comparators on image-level and eye-specific progression measures.

Towards the Vision-Sound-Language-Action Paradigm: The HEAR Framework for Sound-Centric Manipulation

While recent Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have begun to incorporate audio, they typically treat sound as static pre-execution prompts or focus exclusively on human speech. This leaves a significant gap in real-time, sound-centric manipulation where fleeting environmental acoustics provide critical state verifica...

Beyond Final Answers: CRYSTAL Benchmark for Transparent Multimodal Reasoning Evaluation

CRYSTAL is introduced, a diagnostic benchmark with 6,372 instances that evaluates multimodal reasoning through verifiable intermediate steps, and the Causal Process Reward (CPR), a multiplicative reward that couples answer correctness with step-level alignment, and CPR-Curriculum, which progressively increases reasonin...

Benchmarking the Explanatory Quality of Open-Weight Vision-Language Models in Face Recognition

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have recently been proposed as promising tools for face recognition, as they can produce natural language explanations alongside similarity scores. This capability is considered appealing for face comparisons in forensic contexts, which require decisions to be transparent and auditable. Ho...

VidOmni-Bench: A Benchmark for Fine-Grained Video Understanding via Spatio-Temporal Event Verification across Complexity and Duration

VidOmni-Bench is introduced, a benchmark that requires models to verify whether each event in dense video captions is supported by the video, and reveals three key findings: Video-LLMs frequently generate hallucinated descriptions in dense video captioning, and they also struggle as verifiers.

2nd Place Solution to the HANDS 2026 Workshop Challenge-Dexterous Grasp Motion Track: Single-Shot Trajectory Warping for Grasp Motion Generation

This report describes our 2nd place solution to the HANDS 2026 workshop challenge (Dexterous Grasp Motion track) in conjunction with ECCV 2026. In this challenge, we address grasp motion generation for the 12-DoF LinkerHand O6, aiming to produce physically plausible reach-and-lift trajectories for unseen objects from r...

Think Locally, Refine Globally for Memory-Efficient 3D Reconstruction

This work proposes LoG-VGGT, a memory-efficient framework for long-sequence 3D reconstruction that balances local temporal modeling with global camera consistency, and introduces cross-window attention at a small subset of transformer blocks, enabling effective information propagation across adjacent temporal windows w...

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.
