PGID: Progressive Guided Inversion and Denoising for Robust Watermark Detection

With the proliferation of AI-generated images, digital watermarking has become an essential safeguard for protecting intellectual property and mitigating malicious exploitation. Recent works on semantic watermarking have enabled efficient copyright protection for diffusion models. However, the dependence of semantic wa...

Physically-Induced Atmospheric Adversarial Perturbations: Enhancing Transferability and Robustness in Remote Sensing Image Classification

Adversarial attacks pose a severe threat to the reliability of deep learning models in remote sensing (RS) image classification. Most existing methods rely on direct pixel-wise perturbations, failing to exploit the inherent atmospheric characteristics of RS imagery or survive real-world image degradations. In this pape...

MosaicMRI: A Diverse Dataset and Benchmark for Raw Musculoskeletal MRI

Deep learning underpins a wide range of applications in MRI, including reconstruction, artifact removal, and segmentation. However, progress has been driven largely by public datasets focused on brain and knee imaging, shaping how models are trained and evaluated. As a result, careful studies of the reliability of thes...

Weakly Convex Ridge Regularization for 3D Non-Cartesian MRI Reconstruction

While highly accelerated non-Cartesian acquisition protocols significantly reduce scan time, they often entail long reconstruction delays. Deep learning based reconstruction methods can alleviate this, but often lack stability and robustness to distribution shifts. As an alternative, we train a rotation invariant weakl...

Skin Tone in the Wild: A Dataset and Benchmark for 10-tone MST Classification

Skin tone classification is a fundamental task in computer vision, with applications in quantifying medical features, assessing demographic representativeness, and mitigating algorithmic bias. However, existing datasets either rely on a restrictive 6-tone Fitzpatrick scale, prohibit training through restrictive license...

Dex4D: Task-Agnostic Point Track Policy for Zero-Shot Dexterous Manipulation

Learning generalist policies capable of accomplishing a wide range of everyday tasks remains an open challenge in dexterous manipulation. In particular, collecting large-scale manipulation data via real-world teleoperation is expensive and difficult to scale. While learning in simulation provides a feasible alternative...

VRIQ: Benchmarking and Diagnosing the Visual-Reasoning IQ of Vision-Language Models

Vision-language model (VLM) errors on visual reasoning may come from missing visual structure, from mistakes after that structure is extracted, or from both. We introduce VRIQ, a benchmark of 1,391 human-verified IQ-style visual reasoning puzzles spanning five psychometric categories, each instantiated in category-matc...

Semantic Context Forests for Learning-Based Knee Cartilage Segmentation in 3D MR Images

The automatic segmentation of human knee cartilage from 3D MR images is a useful yet challenging task due to the thin sheet structure of the cartilage with diffuse boundaries and inhomogeneous intensities. In this paper, we present an iterative multi-class learning method to segment the femoral, tibial and patellar car...

Rethinking Floorplan Generation with Space Syntax: From Design Theory to Model Improvement

Architectural design increasingly adopts generative AI (GenAI) for floorplan generation, an early-stage design task exploring how spaces should be organized for use. Yet fidelity objectives inherited from native visual and geometric generators do not automatically capture this design purpose. This organization remains...

KerJEPA: Kernel Discrepancies for Euclidean Self-Supervised Learning

Breakthroughs in self-supervised Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPAs) have established that regularizing Euclidean representations toward isotropic Gaussian priors yields provable gains in training stability and downstream generalization. We introduce a new, flexible family of Euclidean joint embedding self...

Differentially Private Synthetic Data via APIs 3: Using Simulators Instead of Foundation Model

Differentially private (DP) synthetic data enables the use of sensitive datasets while providing strong privacy guarantees. Recently, Private Evolution (PE) has emerged as a promising framework for generating DP synthetic data using only inference APIs of foundation models. However, suitable foundation models are not a...

Cepheid: Decoupling Scale from Structure for Cross-Family Motion Completion

Sparse-to-dense motion completion recovers dense mesh motion from sparse vertex displacements. Residual priors trained on one geometry family frequently fail to beat parameter-free harmonic extension off-family. Moreover, cross-family training meets a scaling barrier: residual amplitude varies by more than an order of...

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.
