DriveWLA: Unifying Future Dynamics and Scene Semantics through World-Language-Action Modeling for Autonomous Driving

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and world models have demonstrated strong capabilities in semantic understanding and future scene evolution for autonomous driving. However, effectively integrating both capabilities for trajectory generation remains challenging. In this work, we propose DriveWLA, a unified World-Language-...

Visual Dependence Does Not Imply Answerability: A Systematic Analysis of Answerability Signals in Frozen InstructBLIP

Visual question answering models often produce plausible responses even when the available visual evidence is insufficient to support a valid answer. Although prior work has introduced benchmarks and abstention mechanisms for unanswerable visual questions, it remains unclear which signals derived from a frozen vision-l...

FASHION-RQ: Mining Hierarchical Semantic Structure for Automated Evaluation of Fashion Retrieval

Evaluating fashion retrieval systems remains challenging due to the limited availability of benchmarks that capture the fine-grained, open-ended queries encountered in real-world search and recommendation. Existing benchmarks often rely on manual curation, predefined taxonomies, or synthetic prompts, limiting scalabili...

QK-Edit: Revisiting Attention-based Injection in MM-DiT for Image and Video Editing

Multimodal Diffusion Transformers (MM-DiTs) have recently emerged as a powerful framework for unified text-vision synthesis, surpassing traditional U-Net architectures in generative tasks. One key innovation lies in its Multimodal Self-Attention (MM-SA) interaction, where image and text tokens are concatenated and proc...

From Token Correction to Claim Admission: Training-Free Hallucination Mitigation for Large Vision-Language Models

Large vision-language models often exhibit object hallucination, generating claims that are not supported by the input image. To mitigate this issue, we propose Evidence-Guided Visual Claim Admission (EGVCA), a training-free framework that admits a semantic claim only when it receives sufficient image-dependent support...

4LC: 4D Latent Cache for Efficient Conditioning in Dynamic World Modeling

For video generation in dynamic world modeling, observed static and dynamic content should be efficiently reused to provide conditions for repeated generation at different times and viewpoints. We introduce 4LC, a 4D latent cache with composite visual representations and a flexible spatiotemporal access interface. As a...

Morphology-aware deep learning predicts colorectal cancer survival from whole-slide images

Background: Five-year survival prediction from hematoxylin-and-eosin whole-slide images could support risk stratification, but the task is weakly supervised, and the tissue morphologies carrying prognostic information remain incompletely characterized. Methods: We conducted a retrospective secondary analysis using TCGA...

Tanawpamana: Benchmarking Vision-Language Models on Philippine Cultural Heritage Sites

The Tanawpamana Dataset is introduced, a repository of Philippine heritage site images with metadata based on the Talapamana registry of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts of the Philippines, comprising 4,046 tasks designed to evaluate models'recognition and knowledge of heritage sites.

Benchmarking Self-Supervised 3D Medical Vision Foundation Models and Transferability Estimation

Self-supervised pretraining has expanded the pool of 3D medical foundation models, but published evaluations use different datasets, endpoints and fine-tuning protocols. Models also differ in architecture, pretraining objective and data, while downstream targets range from voxel-level masks to patient-level diagnoses a...

FlashVSR+: Efficient Video Super-Resolution via Hybrid Attention and Reward-Yield Distribution Matching

Recent video super-resolution (VSR) models achieve efficient one-step generation through diffusion distillation. However, high-resolution inference remains costly, and distilled models are difficult to align with human preferences. These challenges call for improvements in both model architecture and training strategy....

Know-Thy-Not: Training-Free Targeted Negation in Dual-Encoder Vision-Language Models

Dual-encoder vision-language models systematically fail at negation, scoring ''a cat without a dog'' nearly identically to ''a cat with a dog.'' We show that this failure is inherent to the single-embedding framework. Under contrastive training, single-embedding methods can at best ignore the negated concept (dilution)...

World-T3: Test-Time Training as Persistent Memory for Real-Time Video World Models

Recent advances in video world models have enabled plausible interactive environments, yet long-horizon generation places a fundamental demand on visual memory: the previously observed world must remain consistent as the model continues to generate. Existing autoregressive approaches often implicitly rely on the genera...

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.
