How smoothing the affinity matrix affects neighborhood preservation in t-SNE

It is found that sharpening improves preservation of the very nearest neighbors, while smoothing improves preservation of broader local neighborhoods, outperforming alternative affinity constructions including multiscale methods in the mid-local range.

Co-RL: Unsupervised Reasoning Emerges from Diverse Cohort in Multi-agent RL

This work introduces Co-RL, a framework in which multiple decoupled models, sharing no parameters, are simultaneously optimized through RL using rewards derived from their peers, and shows that unsupervised reasoning can emerge through cooperative multi-agent training.

BrainWAM: Action-Space Coordination of Semantic Priors and Predictive Dynamics for Autonomous Driving

This work proposes BrainWAM, a structured action-space coordination framework that converts semantic reasoning and predictive world modeling into two specialized action-oriented pathways, and aligns them at the level of compact action representations, and introduces an asynchronous rectified-flow inference strategy wit...

EgoCITE: Context-Augmented Indexing and Time-Aware Retrieval for Long-Horizon Egocentric Memory

This work introduces EgoCITE (Egocentric Context-augmented Indexing and Time-aware Evidence retrieval), a long-horizon agentic memory framework for egocentric QA that improves accuracy over agentic memory baselines by at least 4.4--14.2% while achieving 36$\times$ lower cost than long-context LLM agents.

Hierarchical Classification via Cascading Feature Elimination: Application to Human Phenotype Ontology-Aligned Facial Phenotyping (FaceMesh2HPO)

Results demonstrate that hierarchical modeling of 3D facial geometry enables interpretable, ontology-linked phenotype classification, though performance on rare leaf terms remains limited.

Mask2Real-WM: Segmentation Masks as a Sim-to-Real Bridge for Controllable Dexterous World Models

Mask2Real-WM is presented, a two-stage action-conditioned world model for dexterous manipulation that decouples pixel prediction into a dynamics model and a rendering model that shows that mask conditioning and simulation pretraining are both required for per-DoF action controllability across all 23 degrees of freedom.

Planning-aligned Token Compression for Long-Context Autonomous Driving

This work proposes COMPACT-VA, a planning-aligned working memory framework built on conditional VQ-VAE, compressing extended context into bounded representations, and evaluates on high-signal dynamic scenarios where historical context is most critical for behavior correctness, and accordingly design behavioral metrics.

EgoMemReason: A Memory-Driven Reasoning Benchmark for Long-Horizon Egocentric Video Understanding

EgoMemReason is introduced, a comprehensive benchmark for week-long egocentric video understanding through memory-driven reasoning that evaluates three complementary memory types: entity memory, tracking how object states evolve and change across days; event memory, recalling and ordering activities separated by hours...

When to Call an Apple Red: Humans Follow Introspective Rules, VLMs Don't

Understanding when Vision-Language Models (VLMs) will behave unexpectedly, whether models can reliably predict their own behavior, and if models adhere to their introspective reasoning are central challenges for trustworthy deployment. To study this, we introduce the Graded Color Attribution (GCA) dataset, a controlled...

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.
