Referring Multi-Object Tracking (RMOT) aims to track specific targets based on language descriptions, playing a vital role in interactive AI systems such as robotics and autonomous driving. However, existing RMOT methods rely exclusively on 2D RGB observations. Since similar 2D projections can correspond to different 3...

Recent advances in diffusion models have significantly elevated the visual fidelity of Virtual Try-On (VTON) systems, yet reliable evaluation remains a persistent bottleneck. Traditional metrics struggle to quantify fine-grained texture details and semantic consistency, while existing datasets fail to meet commercial s...
Differential privacy limits how much each training image can influence a medical imaging model but lowers its diagnostic accuracy. Pretrained weights reduce this loss. It is unknown whether the pretraining objective or domain improves accuracy more. Here we train chest radiograph classifiers under differential privacy...

Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (MM-RAG) augments visual question answering (VQA) with external knowledge, but many systems rely on modular pipelines that separate visual grounding, query construction, and answer generation. This separation can propagate errors from intermediate detections, masks, or captions...

Unified remote sensing multimodal models exhibit a pronounced spatial reversal curse: Although they can accurately recognize and describe object locations in images, they often fail to faithfully execute the same spatial relations during text-to-image generation, where such relations constitute core semantic informatio...
Foundation models are used for many real-world applications involving language understanding and generation from temporally-ordered multimodal events. In this work, we study the ability of models to identify the most important sub-events in a video, which is a fundamental prerequisite for summarizing, reasoning over, o...

Video summarization transforms long videos into concise representations that are easier to document and analyze, especially in high-stakes domains such as surgical training. However, long-form videos often require dense frame processing or supervised training pipelines, which can be computationally expensive and may st...

Discrete motion tokenization has recently enabled Large Language Models (LLMs) to serve as versatile backbones for motion understanding and motion-language reasoning. However, existing pipelines typically decouple motion quantization from semantic embedding learning, linking them solely via token IDs. This approach fai...

In recent years, VAD (Visual Anomaly Detection) has attracted significant attention due to its high interpretability, as it provides visual explanations by highlighting anomalous regions within an image. However, although these visual explanations can be helpful, they lack a direct and semantically meaningful interpret...

The Segment Anything Model (SAM) family has become a widely adopted vision foundation model, but its ability to control segmentation granularity remains limited. Users often need to refine results manually - by adding more prompts or selecting from pre-generated masks - to achieve the desired level of detail. This proc...
Accurate segmentation of marine organisms is vital for biodiversity monitoring and ecological assessment, yet existing datasets and models remain largely limited to terrestrial scenes. To bridge this gap, we introduce \textbf{AquaOV255}, the first large-scale and fine-grained underwater segmentation dataset containing...
Flat minima are strongly associated with improved generalisation in deep neural networks. However, this connection has proven nuanced in recent studies, with both theoretical counterexamples and empirical exceptions emerging in the literature. In this paper, we revisit the role of sharpness in model performance and exa...

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.
Computer scientist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist will collaborate with the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing to advance AI and scientific discovery.
