BEACON: Behavior and Appearance Control for Subject-Specific Video Generation

Generating human-centric videos that preserve both visual identity and person-specific expressive behavior remains a fundamental challenge. In addition to reproducing appearance, a model must replicate the facial behaviors that characterize how a subject expresses emotion over time. However, most state-of-the-art metho...

TryOnReward: Learning Foveated Consistency for Reinforcement Fine-Tuning of Virtual Try-On

This work presents TryOnReward, a fine-grained reward model tailored for VTON that significantly outperforms generic judges in human preference alignment, and when serving as the RFT reward function, it consistently yields human-preferred try-on results across multiple baselines.

Sampling headroom is not selection gain: a compute-value audit of test-time scaling for video world models

The Compute-Value Audit (CVA) is introduced, a sequential framework that asks whether extra sampling creates opportunity, observable signals provide a reliable state, that state supports a beneficial action, and the resulting gain exceeds the full entry fee of generation and verification.

(How) Do MLLMs Report Bistable Images Like Humans?

Bistable images such as the duck-rabbit are classic stimuli in which one image supports multiple mutually incompatible interpretations, typically reported one at a time in humans. We ask whether multimodal large language models (MLLMs) show similar report behavior and what internal computations support it. Using the LL...

Evaluation of MLLM-Agnostic Plug-and-Play Keyframe Selection Methods for Long Video Understanding

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) cannot process every frame of a long video because of limitations in visual-token and computational budgets. Three primary approaches have been proposed to enhance their long-video understanding capabilities: (i) Retraining an MLLM on a large video corpus and/or extending its in...

From Semantic to Token Communication: The Next Paradigm for Large-Model-Driven 6G Intelligent Connectivity

This survey traces the evolution from LM-driven SemCom to TokenCom, and examines the token abstraction, the transmission techniques it requires, and two emerging paradigms, namely TokenCom for LM services and for embodied and agentic intelligence.

Physically Aware Radiomics Without Interpolation: Disentangling Voxel Geometry and Signal Modification in CT and MRI

Voxel-spacing-aware extraction separates geometric modeling from interpolation-induced signal modification while preserving the native image signal, offering a coherent alternative to isotropic resampling for radiomic analysis of anisotropic CT and MRI.

Predicting build orientation for SLM dental parts: a comparison of rotation representations and direct vector regression

Overall, test-time augmentation over a small set of known rotations is the most consistent driver of accuracy, whereas the best-performing representation is strongly backbone-dependent, whereas the best-performing representation is strongly backbone-dependent.

Option-Aware Retrieval and Task-Specific VLM Adaptation for Medical VQA

This submission to the MedReason 2026 challenge is described, covering multiple-choice (MCQ) and open-ended (OE) medical visual question answering (VQA) under fully offline, containerized inference, and it is found that MCQ retrieval must compare answer \emph{semantics} rather than answer labels.

RSIAgent: Autonomous Exploration for Recursive Self-improvement in New Environments

RSIAgent is introduced, a training-free multi-agent framework for recursive self-improvement through autonomous memory construction that substantially improves strong open-source models, enabling Kimi-K3 and GLM-5.3 to outperform frontier closed-source models including GPT-6.3.

GEB-Bench: Abstract Structures Told in Many Voices

Evaluating twelve open and proprietary models, it is found that abstraction failure is lawful, and the central finding is a gap between recognition and cross-voice mapping: models identify a structure within one voice far better than they carry it across voices; every model pays this tax, and mapping strong enough to n...

An Autonomy Aware Metamodel for Human AI Collaboration in Software Engineering

This work provides a conceptual foundation for governance-aware, adaptable, and AI-first software engineering methods by proposing a metamodel that treats autonomy not as a fixed property of an actor, but as a derived, situation-dependent authority assignment determined by task, context, and collaboration pattern.

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.
