AcFlow: Controlling Text-to-Image Diffusion Transformers via Learned Conditional Activation Flow

AcFlow is introduced, an inference-time controller that transports intermediate layer image-token activations through a learned concept-conditioned velocity field while keeping the base DiT frozen, and supports the learned velocity field as an adaptive control mechanism.

AI-Powered Flare Combustion Efficiency Estimation

This work proposes an innovative solution that combines a lightweight vision-language encoder with a compact multi-layer perceptron to predict combustion efficiency directly from low-cost thermal video footage to achieve high combustion efficiency in flare stacks.

Learn the Solid, Not the File: Canonical Inputs for Neural Networks on CAD Boundary Representations

The canonical region graph is proposed, an input representation whose nodes, features and coordinate frame are derived from the solid itself and show theoretical invariance guarantees on repartitioning and rigid motions and matches the strongest baseline on standard benchmarks, and is stable under every perturbation th...

Measuring Browser Webcam Gaze Honestly: A Capture-Clock Methodology and Open Reference Implementation

Browser-based webcam gaze trackers are increasingly used for crowd-scale data collection and in clinical settings where lab eye trackers are impractical, but the reported latency numbers may not represent real world functionality. The common practice of timestamping each gaze sample when it is emitted, rather than when...

Prompting with Sign Parameters for Low-resource Sign Language Instruction Generation

Sign Parameter-Infused (SPI) prompting is introduced, which integrates standard SL parameters, like hand shape, motion, and orientation, directly into the textual prompts, which makes the instructions more structured and reproducible than free-form natural text from vanilla prompting.

Do Vision-Language Models Understand Visual Persuasiveness? A Diagnosis via Visual Persuasive Factors

This work introduces Visual Persuasive Factors (VPFs), a taxonomy informed by cognitive psychology for quantifying visual cues that shape persuasive judgments, and reveals that VPFs distinguish human persuasiveness judgments, whereas VLMs only partially reproduce these patterns.

MindTopo: Can Foundation Models Reason in Topological Space?

This work introduces MindTopo, a benchmark of topological intuition across five properties grounded in cognitive science and formal topology: continuity, separation, order, enclosure, and knots, which performs better on reasoning than on planning, and the best-performing model remains far below observed human performan...

BodyCam-VQA: Enhanced Body-Worn Camera Video Captioning via Multimodal Reasoning and Probe Question Generation

An Adaptive Visual Question Answering (VQA) framework engineered for high-stakes law enforcement that provides a more reliable, objective, and detailed record of enforcement events, ultimately serving as a powerful tool to protect both law enforcement officers and the public through AI-assisted forensic clarity.

MultiHuSE: A Multimodal Dataset for Humour Styles and Emotions

Computational recognition of verbal humour remains a challenging task, requiring an understanding of language, delivery style, emotions, and cultural context. Most existing approaches focus on binary classification and lack datasets that capture psychological dimensions of humour alongside variations in expression. We...

OmniHallu: Unified Hallucination Detection for Cross-Modal Comprehension and Generation in Multimodal Large Language Models

OmniHallu is introduced, a unified hallucination detection framework spanning both comprehension and generation tasks across image, video, and audio modalities, and a preference-optimized trainable verifier that approximates the multi-agent decision boundary, reducing expert calls by 66% with minimal performance loss.

What to Preserve, Where to Adapt: A Depth-Wise Analysis of Forgetting in Continual Gynecological Image Segmentation

Results show that forgetting depends not only on how much the model changes, but also on which parts of the model are allowed to change, which means that forgetting still increases as more blocks are trained and remains severe when the full backbone is updated.

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.
