LiFUSE: Frequency-Spatial Unified Self-Supervised Pretraining for Liver Disease Analysis on Non-contrast CT

Given the growing global burden of liver tumors and diffuse liver diseases, non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) is increasingly used for opportunistic screening because of its low cost and favorable safety profile. However, downstream tasks such as tumor detection and fine-grained disease diagnosis remain challengi...

Heading Hierarchy Reconstruction for Complex and Long Documents with Level-Wise Multimodal Memory

Vision-language models (VLMs) have been widely adopted for document parsing and optical character recognition (OCR), as they can accurately extract page-level elements. However, downstream applications such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) also require coherent document-level structure. Although these models ind...

A Controlled Evaluation of Curvature Inspired Scalar Feature Scaling for Domain Generalization

Domain-specific curvature is an appealing idea for domain generalization (DG), but curvature learning can denote substantially different computations. This paper evaluates one deliberately narrow implementation: the code calls it HyperDG, but it rescales Euclidean encoder features during training by learned positive sc...

H-DDCM: Hadamard Codebooks for Fast Generative Image and Video Compression

Training-free diffusion-based compression methods repurpose the generative priors of a diffusion or a flow model to compress data without retraining them as task-specific codecs. Recent codebook-based approaches such as Turbo-DDCM achieve strong perceptual quality at ultra-low bitrates, but their reliance on dense Gaus...

APT: Feedback-Driven Agentic Post-Training for Text-to-Image Generation

Post-training is crucial for improving text-to-image models, yet existing pipelines typically rely on manually curated training data and fixed training distributions. We introduce APT (Agentic Post-Training), a fully automated framework that adaptively post-trains a base model according to its evolving capability profi...

Scaling Vision Transformers Without Training: Prune-and-Merge Token Compression

Vision Transformers achieve strong performance but incur high computational costs from quadratic token interactions. Training-free token reduction methods improve efficiency, but their robustness remains underexplored. We propose Prune-and Merge ViT, a training-free framework for off-the-shelf models. It combines class...

Saliency-Guided Replay for Continual Learning in Deep Spiking Neural Networks

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) are promising for energy-efficient neuromorphic computing, but they still suffer from catastrophic forgetting when learning tasks sequentially. This work investigates the integration of Experience Packing and Replay (EPR) as a memory-efficient continual learning strategy for deep SNNs und...

FETALFusion: Resolution-Aware State-Space Modeling for Multi-Domain Fetal Head Segmentation

Head circumference (HC) measured from 2D ultrasound is a routine marker of fetal growth, and automating it needs segmentations whose boundaries hold up on individual scans, not only on average. We present FETALFusion, a dual-path CNN-Mamba encoder-decoder for fetal head segmentation across acquisition types. It applies...

AI-Enhanced Hyperspectral Imaging for Intraoperative Detection of Low-Grade Glioma: A Clinical Study

Current image-guided neuronavigation techniques, such as intraoperative MRI and ultrasound, are limited by high costs, limited sensitivity and operational complexity. There is a clear need for more efficient systems to enhance intra-operative tumor detection and improve patient outcomes for intrinsic brain tumor resect...

MERIT: Multimodal Evidence Reasoning over Image Tables

Table reasoning with language models typically assumes access to clean textual tables. In practice, tables are often serialized into text, which can corrupt cell contents, distort structural relationships, and discard visual cues, leaving the model to reason over incomplete evidence. In contrast, table images retain th...

CineMem: Attention-Aligned Fine-grained Memory Retrieval for Multi-Shot Long Video Generation

Autoregressive video generation relies on memory retrieval to model long-range dependencies. This capability becomes particularly critical for multi-shot generation, where models must reconcile substantial visual changes across shot transitions with persistent semantic continuity. Existing methods tend to perform memor...

LinMorph: Learning to Morph Weights for Efficient Video DiT Linearization

Post-hoc linearization is an attractive way to accelerate pretrained Video Diffusion Transformers (Video DiTs), yet existing methods largely treat the quality loss induced by attention replacement as a recovery problem. We show that a more fundamental bottleneck lies upstream: \emph{initialization}. Random initializati...

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.
