CORE: Improving Compositional Reasoning in MLLM Embedding via Reranker Distillation

CORE is proposed, which synthesizes candidate lists spanning five compositional matching levels and introduces a Rank-KL objective that trains the embedding model to reproduce the reranker's fine-grained ranking and compares contrastive learning, pairwise CoSENT, and listwise Rank-KL under the same data and tuning budg...

TAP-Path: Task-Adaptive Structural and Token Pruning for Efficient and Trustworthy Pathology Foundation Models

Pathology foundation models improve transferable representation learning for histopathology, but recent gains often rely on encoders with hundreds of millions of parameters and high inference cost. We propose TAP-Path, a task-adaptive compression framework that directly restructures a pretrained Virchow2 encoder rather...

Catalogue Photography as a Cold Start: Toward Deployable Rotary Milling Tool Recognition

This work treats catalogue photography as a useful cold start rather than a deployment-ready training domain, and provides empirical baselines and an evaluation protocol for catalogue-to-field transfer in precision tool manufacturing.

RARF: Region-Aware Rectified Flows for 3D Brain MRI Inpainting

RARF, a task-agnostic region-aware rectified flow framework for masked data generation that instantiate the framework for 3D brain MRI inpainting as the submission to the BraTS Inpainting Challenge 2026 is instantiated.

GraFT: A Training-Free Framework for Spatial Reasoning in Multimodal Large Language Models via 3D Scene Graphs

GraFT is introduced, a training-free framework that supplies the missing 3D structure through a compact, easily maintained 3D scene graph (3DSG) and provides three spatial reasoning capabilities: deterministic geometry through symbolic tools, allocentric layout through a bird's-eye-view (BEV) rendering, and visual-attr...

Phase-Aware Spatial-Frequency Fusion for Few-Shot Fine-Grained Image Classification

This study introduces a novel plug-and-play amplitude-phase integration module that effectively combines local and global frequency amplitude and phase information for obtaining more comprehensive feature descriptors in few-shot fine-grained image classification.

LLaDA-Image: Building Strong Image Generators with Fully Open Training Recipes

We introduce LLaDA-Image, a unified framework that pairs a 6B Diffusion Transformer (DiT) trained from scratch with a frozen vision-language understanding module built on the LLaDA2.0-Mini diffusion language model backbone. Instead of relying heavily on paired image-text data from the beginning, we first build a strong...

ENEAS: Embedding-guided Neural Ensemble for Adaptive Segmentation

We present ENEAS, a unified, text-promptable method for instance tracking and semantic discovery. Text-promptable segmentation models, including the latest foundation models such as SAM 3, still suffer from temporal hallucinations, spatial fragmentation, and semantic misclassification: they fail to report target absenc...

EraseSAE: Surgical Concept Erasure in Text-to-Video Diffusion Models via Sparse Autoencoders

Recent advances in text-to-video (T2V) diffusion models have demonstrated remarkable generative capabilities, yet their reliance on loosely curated training data raises pressing safety and copyright concerns. Concept erasure offers a principled remedy by removing unwanted semantics from pretrained models while preservi...

How Far Can Synthetic Data Take Thai OCR?

It is found that synthetic-only training can be competitive, and the 0.9B-parameter PaddleOCR-VL-1.6 is adapted into Wayu-Paxa-OCR-Zero, a Thai OCR model adapted without OCR labels from real Thai document pages, showing that synthetic-only training can be competitive.

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.
