A Critical Synthesis of Uncertainty Quantification and Foundation Models for Semantic Segmentation

This is the first systematic evaluation of UQ methods applied to a foundation model for semantic segmentation and highlights both the promise and the current limitations of uncertainty-aware foundation models, pointing to the need for future work that jointly optimizes accuracy, robustness, and efficiency for real-worl...

Impact of Iterative Fine-Tuning on Transcription Accuracy in Complex Historical Sanskrit Manuscripts

A local traditional OCR pipeline is introduced that can be iteratively fine-tuned on the target manuscript at the layout-level and the appearance-level, causing iterative reduction in human annotation effort, which is expensive and time-consuming as it requires historical domain expertise.

Composed Historical Image Retrieval by Modeling Temporal Representations

This paper proposes Temporally Decomposable Image Representations (TDIR), a representation learning algorithm that decomposes historical photographs into separate date and content components through orthogonal subspaces, and defines and proves the conditions under which such a decomposition is achievable.

Prior-Conditioned Gaussian Discriminants for Generalizable AI-generated Image Detection

Strong sensitivity to the training prior, data-efficiency of moment-based heads, and representation dependence of Gaussian shift metrics, motivating (prior, encoder, head)-level reporting and stronger analytical baselines for AIGI transfer are quantified.

OptiModNet: A UNet-Transformer Hybrid with Grouped-Query and Channel Attention for Optic Disc and Cup Segmentation

Precise segmentation of the optic disc and cup is critical for the early detection and diagnosis of glaucoma. However, achieving consistently high performance across datasets while maintaining low computational requirements remains a significant challenge. In glaucoma detection, low-computation methods are crucial for...

Partition the Support, Reconstruct the Residual: Training-Free Sparse Attention for Video Generation and World Models

This work introduces SparsePR, which combines Response-Coupled Partitioning with Probe-Fitted Residual Reconstruction and consistently reduces attention-reconstruction error across four heterogeneous video generation and world models.

TTSD-FAR: Test-Time Self-Distillation with Fisher-Anchored Restoration for Missing-Modality Emotion Recognition in LVLMs

A unified adaptation-restoration design consistently outperforms entropy-based adaptation, RAG, and perplexity-based generation over long adaptation horizons, where baselines without restoration progressively degrade while TTSD-FAR remains consistent.

From Inference to Adaptation: A Unified Optimal Transport View of Vision Language Model

This work proposes a principled VLM TTA method called \algname, and theoretically reveals that the InfoNCE loss can be neatly reformulated as a Wasserstein OT formulation, thereby unifying the objectives of the inference and adaptation of VLMs to achieve their mutual benefits.

Visual-Prompt Guided Wildlife Instance-Level Recognition

Fine-grained wildlife re-identification remains a challenging area in research. Current state-of-the-art approaches apply a detection and re-identification pipeline. We propose a one-stage end-to-end detection and re-identification model that performs identity searching within the latent space. We adopt DINOv2 for robu...

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.
