Semigroup-JEPA: Latent Dynamics Consistency for Zero-Shot Physics Generalization

SemiGroup-JEPA (SG-JEPA), which extends the LeWorldModel framework by supplying the parameter governing the physics to the temporal model via action-conditioning and jointly training an encoder and predictor through an autoregressive latent rollout, is introduced.

PACE: Perceived-Latency-Aware Cascading Service Routing and Filler Control for QoE-Efficient Retrieval-Augmented Dialogue Serving

The PACE is presented, a framework for retrieval-augmented dialogue serving that formalizes Perceived Time-to-First-Response (PTFR) as a QoE objective and minimizes it under quality/cost constraints and is the first quantification of filler-answer conflict risk in deployed services.

Beyond One-Size-Fits-All: Sample-Adaptive Strategy Routing for Vision Token Pruning in MLLMs

VIsion Pruning Router is proposed, a lightweight VIsion Pruning Router that adaptively selects the pruning strategy predicted to be best suited to each input at a specified pruning level that proves effective across various MLLM backbones and yields consistent gains on unseen benchmarks, highlighting the potential of s...

One Loop, Two Gains: Can Active Learning win the Lottery for Free?

The lottery ticket hypothesis posits the existence of winning tickets: sparse subnetworks that, when trained in isolation from their original initialization, match the accuracy of the full dense network. The predominant method for discovering such tickets, iterative magnitude pruning, alternates pruning with full retra...

SA-Profile: Automated Sulcus Angle Profiling from Super-Resolution MRI

An automatic framework for continuous SA profiling from super-resolved MR volumes is proposed, extending conventional SA assessment to a continuous profile-based description of trochlear morphology without additional imaging, while remaining conceptually linked to current clinical assessment.

A statistical approach to bias in zero-shot learning: the lens of handwriting recognition

A statistical approach to bias rectification that can be combined in a turn-key fashion with any classical GZSL feature learner as a blackbox, thereby suggesting a wide scope of applicability of this method for a wide variety of GZSL implementations in different domains.

Elastoformer: Enabling Dynamic Adaptivity via Elastic Model Transformation

This paper proposes Elastoformer: A framework that transforms conventional neural networks into Elastic NN capable of real-time elastic inference, and offers a single, modular solution that dynamically switches between multiple modes of operation at runtime, adapting efficiently to the changing computational budgets of...

What Makes Adversarial Examples Transfer Across Deepfake Detectors?

A controlled evaluation of adversarial transferability across 60 detectors spanning six backbones, two pretraining regimes, and five training-data configurations establishes source-model selection as central dimensions of credible transfer-based black-box robustness evaluation.

FlowCPO: A Unified Divergence View of Preference Alignment for Flow Models

This work introduces FlowCPO, an offline forward-KL objective that uses both preferred and dispreferred samples without online rollouts and shows under explicit regularity conditions that the forward-KL objective is bounded by a contrastive flow matching loss, yielding a tractable surrogate on fixed data.

Strangers to Themselves: What Language Models Say About Themselves Is Generic

Language models can fluently describe how they would behave: whether they would cave to pushback, misuse a tool, or lie under pressure. Is that description actually about the model speaking? We turn self-knowledge into a prediction test. Across nine behavioral evaluations, we measure how a model behaves under different...

Albedo Estimation via Latent Bridge Matching

This work introduces a novel LBM-based architecture that enforces physical consistency through a pixel reconstruction loss, benefits from the inherent efficiency of LBM low-cost inference, and improves generalization across diverse datasets by incorporating a shading conditioning.

LogiScope-VQA: Benchmarking Vision-Language Models for Logistics Hazard Identification in Industrial Scenarios

The unique challenge of jointly integrating perception, understanding, and reasoning for hazard identification poses substantial headroom for further improvement on LogiScope-VQA, and reveals the pervasive security bias issue that impedes LLMs'practical deployment in real-world 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.
