Hidden In Plain Gaze: Gaze Representations as Privacy Controls for Utility and Re-identification Risk in XR

This work studies whether gaze data representation choice can serve as a lightweight privacy control at feature extraction, before adding perturbation or formal privacy mechanisms, and compares three gaze representations under matched model capacity.

The microscope is the mask: privileged views and labels from a cryo-ET forward model

We explore the use of simulated data for training a model for protein annotation in crowded cryo-electron tomography volumes reconstructed from images collected at limited tilt angles and severely corrupted by the measurement operator. Firstly, we leverage the corruptions imposed by the forward model to generate domain...

TRNet: Learning with Topographic Priors for VHR Paddy Rice Mapping

Extensive ablation, slope stratified, and cross year seasonal analyses demonstrate that the improvements arise from effective frequency rectification and structure learning, which reduce steep terrain false positives and low slope rice omissions.

ARGOS: Who, Where, and When in Agentic Multi-Camera Person Search

Existing person search methods assume access to complete visual queries or exhaustive tracking, yet real-world witness accounts are vague, partial, and spread across cameras and time. We introduce ARGOS (Agentic Retrieval with Grounded Observational Search), a benchmark and agent framework that recasts multi-camera per...

YOLO with Kolmogorov-Arnold networks and vision-language foundation models for interpretable object detection with trustworthy multimodal AI in computer vision perception

The trustworthy object detection capabilities of a novel Kolmogorov-Arnold network framework are examined here, and it offers a powerful tool for transparent and practical perception component for autonomous and multimodal artificial intelligence applications.

MultihopSpatial: Multi-hop Compositional Spatial Reasoning Benchmark for Vision-Language Model

Spatial reasoning is foundational for Vision-Language Models (VLMs), particularly when deployed as Vision-Language-Action (VLA) agents in physical environments. However, existing benchmarks predominantly focus on elementary, single-hop relations, neglecting the multi-hop compositional reasoning and precise visual groun...

Post Fusion Bird's Eye View Feature Stabilization for Robust Multimodal 3D Detection

A Post Fusion Stabilizer (PFS), a lightweight module that operates on intermediate BEV representations of existing detectors and produces a refined feature map for the original detection head that preserves performance while improving robustness under diverse camera and LiDAR corruptions.

GSM8K-V: Can Vision Language Models Solve Grade School Math Word Problems in Visual Contexts

GSM8K-V is introduced, a benchmark transforming GSM8K into multi-image sequences with semantic equivalence preserved and error analysis shows that the primary bottleneck lies in Implicit Visual Inference Error (IVIE), where models fail to recover visual semantics that are implied rather than explicitly stated.

Cross-Task Generalization Between Understanding and Generation in Unified Vision-Language Models: A Controlled Study

Unified vision-language models (VLMs) aim to support both visual understanding and generation within a single framework, but it remains unclear when mixed training benefits both capabilities and when it introduces conflicts. This paper presents a controlled empirical study of cross-task generalization between understan...

AccidentSim: Generating Vehicle Collision Videos with Physically Realistic Collision Trajectories from Real-World Accident Reports

Collecting real-world vehicle accident videos for autonomous driving research is challenging due to their rarity and complexity. While existing driving video generation methods may produce visually realistic videos, they often fail to deliver physically realistic simulations because they lack the capability to generate...

An Empirical Study into Clustering of Unseen Datasets with Self-Supervised Encoders

Can pretrained models generalize to new datasets without any retraining? We deploy pretrained image models on datasets they were not trained for, and investigate whether their embeddings form meaningful clusters. Our suite of benchmarking experiments uses encoders pretrained solely on ImageNet-1k with either supervised...

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.
