Frequency-Step Cache: Separating Synchronization and Repair for Efficient Autoregressive Video Diffusion

Autoregressive (AR) video generation enables long-horizon synthesis but requires repeated forward passes through large diffusion transformers. Training-free caching reduces this cost by reusing intermediate computation, yet existing controllers often couple two decisions: when to synchronize the cache exactly and how m...

Mobility Helps Learning: Unsupervised Model Adaptation for Object Recognition via Movement

Movable agents, such as autonomous vehicles and robots, should be able to autonomously adapt their pre-trained object recognition models to new environments without human annotations. While existing test-time adaptation (TTA) methods address label-free model adaptation, they typically treat test data as independent sna...

ProtoPur: Prototype-Purity Pseudo-Labeling for Weakly Supervised Instance Learning in Pathology

Weak bag-level labels are widely available in computational pathology, whereas reliable instance-level annotations for whole-slide images remain expensive and ambiguous. Weakly supervised multiple instance learning (MIL) achieves strong bag-level classification, but instance-level supervision from attention scores, mod...

Robust Detection of Directional Adversarial Attacks in Deep Neural Networks for Radiological Imaging

Deep learning is now central to radiology, helping detect changes on X-rays, CTs, and MRIs. However, these systems are highly vulnerable to adversarial attacks - small, crafted perturbations that mislead models while appearing unchanged to humans. Such errors risk missed cancers or false positives. Studies show over 90...

Harnessing SPAD Noise: Test-Time Gated Attention for Indoor Depth Estimation

Monocular depth estimation (MDE) has emerged as a cost-effective alternative to hardware-dependent 3D sensing modalities, yet predicting precise metric depth remains a persistent challenge due to intrinsic scale ambiguity, edge bleeding, and limited zero-shot generalization in unseen environments. Recent multi-modal ap...

From Acoustic Sensing to Physical Actions: A Comprehensive Survey of Security Risks in Edge-Deployed Audio LLM-Based Agents

Audio Large Language Models (Audio LLMs) are embedded in agents for smart homes, vehicles, wearables, and embodied systems, where acoustic inputs can propagate from perception into persistent state and consequential execution. This setting extends security analysis beyond model behavior to the system conditions that de...

Metric-Driven Reinforcement Learning for Object Hallucination Reduction in LVLM-Based Image Captioning

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have excelled in joint visual and language understanding, particularly in image captioning. However, LVLMs remain prone to object hallucination, describing non-existent entities in the given image. Previous remedies, including dataset-enhanced supervised training and reinforcement l...

TartanMatch: Towards Universal Dense Correspondence Across Modalities

Robotic platforms combine multi-modal sensors to operate across diverse conditions, but most dense correspondence methods are limited to RGB-RGB or a small set of modality pairs. Training a model for each modality pair scales poorly with the number of sensors and forgoes potential positive transfer across modality pair...

BigCell: Generating Gigapixel Whole-Slide Images

Whole-slide images (WSIs) are gigapixel-scale digital scans of histopathology tissue and serve as the primary basis for cancer diagnosis. Existing histopathology generative models operate at the patch scale, producing fixed-size tiles of at most 1024$\times$1024 pixels which encompass only a small fraction of the WSI....

Token-Budgeted Candidate Retrieval for 3D Scene-Grounded VLMs: Category Names vs. Pairwise Geometry

Under a fixed context budget, which objects and relations should a 3D scene-grounded VLM see first? On ScanNet indoor referring benchmarks (Dai et al., 2017), matching the query to object category names outperforms pairwise geometry scoring at every reported K. The gaps are largest at high recall. Analytic pairwise cue...

Human Pose Estimation by Probabilistic Mixtures of Gaussian and Uniform Distributions

Despite advancements in sub-pixel decoding, modern Human Pose Estimation (HPE) architectures remain constrained by deterministic coordinate extraction from discrete heatmaps, which systematically fails under dense occlusions and Out-of-Distribution (OoD) ambiguities. To address these limitations, we propose a post-hoc...

Pristine Models

Training on broad, unfiltered data enables high-quality image generation, but can also teach models concepts that should not be generated; restricting the training data ensures safety, but reduces quality because examples containing unsafe concepts also provide useful knowledge that is not itself unsafe. Existing appro...

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.
