IMPLY: Physically Anchored Consistency for World-Model Rollouts

IMPLY reads the physics each rollout implies by inverting a simulator and scores a set of rollouts by how well one object explains all of them, anchored to two calibration pushes the model has observed, and shows that this is not enough.

UFO: Chain-of-Evaluation for Omni-Condition Alignment in Multi-Modal Image Generation

UFO is proposed, the first unified framework for omni-condition alignment simultaneous evaluation, and UFO-Bench is presented, a dedicated benchmark designed to holistically evaluate the performance of existing customization models under the diverse mutual interactions of textual and visual conditions.

USPLIT-VQA: U-Shaped Split Learning for Visual Question Answering with Contribution-Aware Weighted Aggregation

USPLIT-VQA is proposed, a U-shaped split learning framework for privacy-preserving VQA in which each client retains the initial layers and the classification head while the server hosts the computationally heavy intermediate layers, keeping raw inputs and labels on the client device.

MPT: Missing Prototype Tracking via Barycentric Reconstruction in Vehicular Federated Learning

MPT is presented, a cross-vehicle FL framework that maintains rare-class recognition by reconstructing its prototype at every round from privacy-preserving class-level statistics and outperforms all baselines in rare class F1, reaching 0.516 on the nuImages dataset.

Agentic AI and the Dissolution of Managerial Authority: Organisational Sensegiving in Autonomous Decision-Making Systems

Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) is shifting from decision support to autonomous coordination, challenging established assumptions about managerial authority. This qualitative conceptual paper synthesises recent literature in algorithmic management, organisational theory, and human-computer interaction to examine h...

Cheap Probes Predict Expensive Training in 3D-CT Vision-Language Models

Building a 3D CT vision language model begins with a choice of which image encoder to build on. Today that choice is made by fine-tuning every candidate through the full language model and comparing downstream scores, an enormously expensive search. A cheap probe on the encoder's representation promises a way out, but...

Self-supervision drives representational convergence in medical foundation models more than clinical supervision

Medical image encoders from different groups are increasingly treated as interchangeable, on the assumption that scale and clinical supervision concentrate their representations onto a shared structure. Whether this convergence is real, what produces it, and whether it is clinically usable are untested, and the similar...

SPECTRA: Band-Routed Embedding and Stage-Wise LoRA for Cross-Sensor Fine-Tuning of Geospatial Foundation Models

Geospatial foundation models (GeoFMs), pretrained on large-scale geospatial data such as Earth observation (EO), climate, and weather data, have shown promising performance when fine-tuned on diverse downstream tasks. However, there are two challenges of adapting EO-pretrained GeoFMs to practical downstream datasets. T...

Towards Automated Solar Panel Integrity: Hybrid Deep Feature Extraction for Advanced Surface Defect Identification

To ensure energy efficiency and reliable operations, it is essential to monitor solar panels in generation plants to detect defects. It is quite labor-intensive, time consuming and costly to manually monitor large-scale solar plants and those installed in remote areas. Manual inspection may also be susceptible to human...

Automated multi-class wound assessment using dedicated instance segmentation models for boundary detection and classification

Two dedicated instance segmentation models based on YOLOv11 that perform wound boundary segmentation (WBS) and WC across five clinically relevant wound types are presented, demonstrating the potential of YOLOv11-based architectures for accurate, real-time wound analysis in both clinical and remote care settings.

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.
