Generative Representation Learning for Scalable Latent Tokenization

We introduce an approach for self-supervised representation learning designed to be used as a tokenizer for generative modeling. Our objective supervises a representation loss by factorizing the pointwise mutual information of the data, which we estimate by taking information differences between conditional predictions...

NeuroDETR: Multiscale Discrete Spatiotemporal Tokenization for Asynchronous EEG Event Detection

Asynchronous EEG event detection supports practical brain-computer interfaces by identifying event classes and temporal boundaries directly from continuous recordings without predefined event boundaries at inference time. The primary challenge lies in extracting event-related patterns embedded in ongoing background act...

Resolution Allocation with Learnable Resizing and Spectral Filter Parameterization

Learnable downsampling and spectral-domain filter parameterizations have each made convolutional networks more flexible, but their interaction has not been systematically examined. We bridge this gap by examining convolutional kernels learned in the spatial and spectral domains, together with learned downsampling ratio...

CARD: Closing the Teacher-Student Loop for Adversarial Robustness Distillation

Adversarial robustness distillation typically treats a robust teacher as a fixed knowledge source and transfers robustness to a compact student in a one-way manner. This paradigm terminates teacher-student interaction once the student is distilled, thereby discarding potentially useful feedback from the distilled stude...

On the Limits of Representation-Based Test-Time Adaptation for Multimodal LLMs

Vision-language models suffer significant accuracy drops under common corruptions. While test-time adaptation (TTA) successfully mitigates these shifts in CLIP-like contrastive models, its application to generative multimodal large language models (MLLMs) remains underexplored and uniquely challenging due to their sequ...

Enhancing Latent World Models with Associative Memory

A memory-enhanced latent world model that augments JEPA-style prediction with a content-addressable memory bank is introduced that achieves state-of-the-art performance with a lightweight architecture, outperforming conventional latent world models on long-horizon planning tasks.

Train to Stitch: Topology-Preserving Regularization for Interoperable Representations

As large, powerful pre-trained models become more prevalent, there is growing interest in developing methods that allow different neural networks to be seamlessly combined with little or no direct communication between them. Take autoencoder-based data compression as an example: the ability to independently choose arch...

Robust Explanatory Analysis for Structured Optimization Networks (REASON) in Learning

We seek a hierarchical resolution of residual error under a composite learning objective as a principled mechanism for identifying and exploiting additional information, particularly under distribution shift and perturbation. Inspired by the System 1/System 2 paradigm, we formulate this principle as a two-loop mechanis...

Integrated Novelty Detection Systems: From Sensor Networks to Multi-Novelty Computer Vision

Novelty detection is crucial in various technological and scientific domains. Its importance spans from ensuring the reliability of sensor networks to enhancing the adaptability of computer vision systems. As AI systems become increasingly sophisticated and complex, effective anomaly detection is essential for maintain...

Riding the Fixed-Point Curve: Image Classification in the Continuous Thought Machine

The Continuous Thought Machine (CTM) is a recurrent network that attends to inputs and makes predictions based on the synchronization between its neurons. On tasks spanning many domains, it displays emergent thought processes that have not been explained. We report a number of findings about how the CTM classifies imag...

Brain2Face: A Study on the Relation of EEG Signals and Spatio-temporal Head Avatars

Driving digital head avatars is classically done by hand-crafted artist design or by image-based facial performance capture. In this work, we ask whether spatio-temporal tracking of the humans's head geometry and appearance can be performed solely from brain signals, i.e., Electroencephalography (EEG). Since prior work...

FlowAvatar: Real-Time Full-Body Avatars from Sparse Egocentric Inputs on Consumer XR Devices

Prior avatar embodiment research has studied tracking completeness (how faithfully the body, hands, and face are sensed and reproduced) and personalized appearance in isolation, each requiring specialized lab equipment. How these factors interact on consumer hardware remains an open question, because no existing system...

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.
