From Vision to Language: Investigating Causal Information Flow in Multimodal Decision-Making

This work investigates cross-modal information flow in a video-based generative multiple-choice-like setting by applying a layer-wise causal intervention on video-text attention pathways and identifies a distinct pattern in temporal reasoning.

Squint: Fast Visual Reinforcement Learning for Sim-to-Real Robotics

Visual reinforcement learning is appealing for robotics but expensive. Off-policy methods are sample-efficient yet slow while on-policy methods parallelize well but waste samples. Recent work has shown that off-policy methods can train faster than on-policy methods in wall-clock time for state-based control. Extending...

Beyond Pairwise Preferences: Listwise Reward-Aware Alignment for Diffusion Models

Diffusion LAIR is proposed, a reward-aware listwise preference optimization method for diffusion models that outperforms strong preference optimization baselines on SD1.5 and SDXL across text-to-image generation, compositional generation, and image editing benchmarks.

TSMini: A Simple Yet Highly Effective Trajectory Similarity Learning Model

Trajectory similarity is fundamental to many spatio-temporal data mining applications. Recent studies propose deep learning models to approximate conventional trajectory similarity measures, exploiting their fast inference time once trained. Although efficient inference has been reported, challenges remain in similarit...

UniMate: One Unified Model to Animate Diverse Skeletons

UniMate is presented, a unified foundation model that synthesizes articulated motion for arbitrary skeletons from a rigged 3D asset and a text prompt, with no test-time optimization or per-skeleton retraining, and outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in quality, generalization, and efficiency.

Adaptive Gated Deepfake Detection for Low-Resolution and Resource-Constrained Environments

Deepfake detection models often rely on high-quality inputs, fixed inference paths, and computationally expensive architectures, limiting their use in low-resolution and resource-constrained settings. This paper proposes AdaGate-DF, an adaptive gated deepfake detection framework that uses image-quality cues to route sa...

SMILE: Self-Explainable Multimodal Information Bottleneck for Medical Diagnosis

A unified learning paradigm is proposed that jointly optimizes predictive performance and modality-specific explainability by identifying the most informative elements inside each modality that contribute to diagnostic decisions by employing a matrix-based Renyi's $\alpha$-order entropy functional under the assumption...

Sustainable Edge Vision via Empirically Calibrated DVFS: Eliminating Thermal Throttling on Passively Cooled Hardware

Passive cooling eliminates the energy overhead and mechanical failure modes of fans, making it attractive for edge deployment, yet sustained Deep Neural Network (DNN) inference on passively cooled edge Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) is bottlenecked by thermal throttling. To address this, we propose an empirically calibrated, s...

LookThere! Sparse Vision by Reinforced Selection

Vision transformers typically treat every image token as equally important, yet for most tasks in computer vision only a fraction are needed. Adaptive computation methods accelerate inference by choosing which tokens to process, but existing methods struggle at extreme sparsity and require heuristics that may not gener...

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.
