Continuous Adversarial MeanFlow Transfer

This work proposes MeanFlow-Transfer, which maps heterogeneous source outputs into a shared velocity representation, uses it to initialize an MF generator from the source weights, and optimizes an MF objective on the target domain, and introduces Continuous Adversarial MeanFlow, a post-training stage that extends conti...

Trustworthy RAG: An Evaluation Agent for Detecting Misinformation and Knowledge Poisoning in Generative AI Systems

An Evaluation Agent, middleware that combines Natural Language Inference factual verification, a five-signal poison detector with relevance-weighted aggregation, and a Trust Index is proposed, which reliably blocks instruction injection of unsafe advice while contradiction and subtle semantic weakening remain hard.

ReToken: One Token to Improve Vision-Language Models for Visual Retrieval

ReToken is a single learnable embedding trained as an explicit retrieval target that selects a sparse set of query-relevant visual tokens from a pre-filled visual KV cache that yields consistent gains across image and video benchmarks.

RL-Native Distillation: Exploiting Scored Trajectories for Few-Step Image Generation

This work proposes REST (Reward-Enhanced Scored-Trajectory Distillation), a single-stage RL-distillation co-training framework that attaches a decoupled student to an arbitrary RL teacher that enables few-step CFG-free inference that matches or surpasses its 40-step RL teacher, with an overall additional training cost...

What's the Catch? Evaluating Temporal Consistency in Vision-Language Models

It is indicated that current VLMs can identify anomalies within individual frames but struggle to integrate information across frames to reason about temporal consistency, and TimeCatch provides a controlled benchmark for evaluating temporal grounding in vision-language models.

Debiasing Text-to-Image Evaluation via Implicit Cultural Alignment Reward Modeling

An Implicit Cultural Alignment Reward Model built upon a lightweight 4.2-billion-parameter Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) integrated with a Skip-connection Cross-Attention mechanism, enabling late-stage semantic features to directly attend to early-stage visual representations and better preserve culturally sal...

DreamSat-Pose: Spacecraft Pose Estimation from Single-View 3D Reconstructions and Learned 2D-3D Feature Matching

A novel framework for single-shot shape and pose estimation of unknown spacecraft objects using only a single image and reconstructed geometry is proposed, demonstrating strong generalization to unseen spacecraft.

HyperVAttention: Efficient Sparse Attention with Spatio-Temporal Clustering for Video Diffusion

Experiments show that HVA establishes a new Pareto frontier for training-free sparse attention in video diffusion, reducing end-to-end latency by up to $2.13\times while improving fidelity over existing training-free sparse attention baselines.

Online Neural Space Time Memory for Dynamic Novel View Synthesis

This work proposes to decouple the frequencies of memory updates and Memory Caching, and introduces two critical mechanisms: an auxiliary Memory Loss that forces persistent internalization of the scene, and a Memory Caching strategy that regularizes active weights against catastrophic drift.

A Unifying Perspective on Causal World Models: From Observations to Representations to Structure

This paper provides a formal definition of Causal WMs (CWMs) grounded in the tasks they are intended to support, connecting existing work in causal representation learning, object-centric learning, causal discovery, structural causal models, and model-based decision-making.

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.
