CS-CLIP: Compositional Scene Graph-guided CLIP for Robust Compositional Reasoning

Vision-language models (VLMs) demonstrate strong performance across compositional reasoning benchmarks, which require reasoning over semantic perturbations of objects, attributes, relations, and their interactions. However, our controlled analysis reveals that existing compositionality-aware VLMs exhibit element-specif...

WSPolypNet: Weakly Supervised Polyp Localization in Colonoscopy Videos

Because dense frame-level annotation of colonoscopy videos is costly, we propose WSPolypNet, a weakly supervised framework for polyp localization using only video-level labels. WSPolypNet employs a 3D convolutional neural network trained with video-level supervision to generate class activation maps (CAMs), which ident...

SAFER-Activities: A Dataset for Smart Assessment of Fall Events and Routine Activities

SAFER-Activities is introduced, a dataset for fall detection and physical activity monitoring, with a dedicated subset for wheelchair use scenarios, and cross-dataset and qualitative evaluations confirm that models trained on SAFER-Activities transfer well to unseen environments and external fall data.

TDDN: Text-aligned Diffused DINO Network for Puzzle Understanding

This work fuse DINOv3 and CleanDIFT representations into a perception encoder and align it with RoBERTa-L, yielding a text-aligned model TDDN that preserves this perceptual advantage and leads on segmentation benchmarks among general-purpose contrastive encoders, including SigLIP.

SAFIRE: Safety-Critical Benchmark for Fine-grained Fire and Smoke Understanding in Multimodal LLMs

SAFIRE is introduced, a large-scale benchmark for fire-smoke understanding in MLLMs, comprising 83K captioned images from 20 scenarios and 193K multiple-choice VQA (MCVQA) generated from a 9.7K-image subset, spanning 10 evaluation dimensions from basic perception to higher-order reasoning.

VoT: Vision-of-Thought for Unified Multimodal Representation Alignment

Vision-of-Thought (VoT), a framework that introduces a discrete visual-thinking layer between vision-language models (VLMs) and diffusion transformers (DiTs) that improves semantic alignment and provides a structured interface for interpretable and controllable generation is proposed.

TFTrack: A Template-Free Framework for Efficient 3D Point Cloud Tracking

By simplifying overcomplicated motion-centric designs, TFTrack establishes a new minimalist paradigm for efficient 3D point cloud tracking, paving the way for real-time and resource-efficient deployment in embedded robotic systems, such as autonomous vehicles.

Harnessing CLIP and DINO: An Uncertainty-Aware Cascaded Fusion Network for Generalizable Deepfake Image Detection

UCF-Net is proposed, an uncertainty-aware cascaded fusion network that harnesses CLIP's language-aligned semantic priors and DINO's self-supervised visual-structure priors and achieves the best mean AUC among the evaluated methods in both in-domain and cross-domain evaluations.

Solution for UCF UrbanTwin LUMPI Track: Sim-to-Real Urban LiDAR 3D Object Detection

We present our solution to the LUMPI track of the UCF UrbanTwin Sim2Real LiDAR Challenge at the 6th DriveX Workshop, ECCV 2026. The detector must be trained only on synthetic data and is evaluated on 50 held-out real LiDAR frames; a separate 50-frame synthetic submission is evaluated for point-cloud realism. Our method...

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.
