AgentVidBench: A Multi-Hop Video Question Answering Benchmark for Evaluating MLLM Agents

Comprehensive video understanding is crucial for advancing artificial intelligence toward the intricate dynamics of the physical world. While recent advances in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in video understanding, existing benchmarks remain confined to simple scene-...

Beyond Exact Match: Task-Aware GRPO for Cross-Domain PCBA Visual Question Answering

This work proposes a multimodal reasoning framework for cross-domain PCBA visual question answering that converts standards-derived, real-world, and auxiliary PCB-domain data into a unified instruction format and constructs verified reasoning traces aligned with visual evidence, question semantics, candidate options, a...

FOCAL-VLA: Subtask-Guided Geometry Distillation and Implicit World Modeling for Vision-Language-Action Models

This work proposes FOCAL-VLA, a framework that combines subtask-guided geometry distillation with implicit world modeling to learn representations of current spatial structure and future interaction dynamics, and shows that FOCAL-VLA outperforms baselines on both simulation benchmarks and real-world manipulation tasks.

Designer-RSI: Evolving Procedural Memory from User Traffic for Agentic Graphic Design

Professional graphic design is a long-horizon agentic task in which structured, editable artifacts emerge from many interdependent actions, yet outcomes admit no reliable programmatic oracle. We introduce a continual adaptation framework in which a frozen frontier model operates professional design software through mor...

MIST: Multimodal Survival Prediction with Genomic-Guided Histology Attention

Across four external evaluations in colon, renal, lung, and glioblastoma cohorts, MIST improves external C-index over standard fusion baselines in the primary comparisons, which support genomic-guided histology attention as a compact and effective strategy for multimodal oncology outcome prediction.

Listen Before You Speak: Response Planning from Listener Facial Reactions for Conversational Speech Generation

ReACT-TTS is proposed, a two-stage framework that uses a one-second pre-response listener facial sequence to plan the next utterance's emotion and prosody before speech realization, and connects the predicted response style to a Grad-TTS backbone for end-to-end speech realization.

More Accurate, Less Human: Gestalt Grouping in Vision Models

A behavioral battery is introduced that scores models against human data from prior perception studies on four grouping tasks: mark-color odd-one-out, color-series counting, silhouette recognition, and object odd-one-out, revealing aspects of perceptual organization that conventional performance metrics fail to disting...

RIPE++: Reinforced Keypoint Learning from Positive Pairs Only

Sparse keypoint extraction and matching underpin core tasks in geometric computer vision, including structure-from-motion, visual SLAM, augmented reality, and medical image registration. Learning robust local feature representations, however, typically requires accurate camera poses or depth supervision, which are ofte...

Gaze Behavior in Visual World Experiments Can be Modeled With Off-the-shelf Language-Vision Encoders

The recent advances in neural language models have also spurred much work in computational psycholinguistics, asking whether neural LMs are also promising models of human language processing. However, work has been overwhelmingly focused on the unimodal case of written or spoken language. In contrast, multimodal experi...

The Coordination Compression Trap: A Dynamic Model of AI-Enabled Productivity, Verification Debt, and Organisational Resilience in Global Knowledge Firms

Aims: This study develops a dynamic explanation for the gap between task-level artificial intelligence productivity and durable enterprise value. It introduces verification debt, the accumulated stock of unverified assumptions, weak review, concealed dependencies, deferred validation, and capability loss. Study Design:...

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.
