Answer It or Not? Towards Prompt-Adapted Adversarial Images on Vision Language Models

With the advancement in language modeling, research on adversarial images has recently shifted from image classifiers to vision-language models (VLMs). Despite the new, text-prompt-driven nature of VLMs, we find that existing VLM adversaries have largely overlooked the dynamics of text prompts. In a typical use case, a...

VLA-GAUGE: Systematically Evaluating Generalization and Robustness in Vision-Language-Action Models

Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs) have achieved high success rates on familiar manipulation tasks, yet it remains unclear whether such scores reflect genuine zero-shot generalization and perturbation robustness. Existing evaluation frameworks provide limited capability-level diagnosis and combinatorial perturbation...

Heuristics are Not Enough: Calibrated and Corrected Caching for Video Diffusion Acceleration

Feature caching has become a mainstream training-free strategy for accelerating video diffusion models by reusing intermediate outputs across denoising steps. However, existing adaptive methods rely on heuristic difference measures misaligned with actual generation quality, employ a single global threshold that ignores...

VisExMEM: Visual Evidence-Based Explainable Multimodal Evaluation Metric

Current image-text evaluation often relies on a global score, which gives limited insight into which semantic details are supported by the image. Explainable metrics provide rationales, but the visual evidence supporting those rationales can still be difficult to verify. We introduce VisExMEM, a reference-free evaluato...

WorldRoPE: Probabilistic World-Centric Rotary Embedding for Multi-View Attention

Rotary Positional Embedding (RoPE) is widely used to encode relative positions in Transformers. In multi-view settings, however, patch coordinates are defined independently in each image: the same 3D point can therefore have different coordinates across views, making them insufficient for establishing cross-view corres...

BAT3R: Robust Online 3D Reconstruction with Bayesian Adaptive State Updates

Feed-forward transformer models have driven remarkable progress in 3D vision,yet their quadratic complexity renders them impractical for long video sequences. Streaming 3D reconstruction addresses this bottleneck by processing frames sequen?tially with constant memory. However, existing recurrent architectures inevitab...

Explicitly Aligned Multi-View Breast Cancer Risk Prediction from Variable-Length Screening Histories

Accurate breast cancer risk prediction from screening mammography is essential for improved risk stratification and personalized screening. It can benefit from both temporal breast tissue changes across longitudinal examinations and complementary anatomical information from craniocaudal (CC) and mediolateral oblique (M...

Look Back to Move Forward: Learning to Revisit for Agentic Compositional Image Generation

Text-to-image models have made remarkable progress in visual fidelity and instruction following, yet complex compositional generation remains challenging. Existing agentic approaches address this limitation through iterative generation and editing, adapting their actions based on interaction history. However, they typi...

MP-MNCA: Morphology-Prior Masked Neighbor Cross-Attention for Efficient Spatial Domain Identification

Spatial transcriptomics jointly captures molecular state, tissue morphology, and spatial organization, yet spatial-domain methods are typically compared only at late training checkpoints, obscuring differences in convergence efficiency. We introduce MP-MNCA, a morphology-prior masked neighbor cross-attention framework...

EventLens: Event-Structure Reinforcement Learning for Video Understanding

Recent multimodal large language models (MLLMs) achieve strong results on video question answering, yet often fail to recover the temporal structure that makes a video coherent. They may merge neighboring events, miss single-event progression, or infer implausible relations across events. We study structured temporal u...

Unravel: Recovering an Interactive 3D Scene from a Single Image

We present Unravel, a training-free framework that turns a single image into an interactive 3D scene, where every object is an independent and movable asset. Existing generators either produce one entangled geometry in which no object can be moved, or predict all objects in one feed-forward pass, where a wrong guess ca...

Omni-Modal LLMs Know More Than They Say

Omni-modal large language models (Omni-LLMs) extend LLMs to process heterogeneous modalities (e.g., vision, audio, and IMU signals) alongside language, enabling a broader range of multimodal tasks. Yet we find that these models often fail to express information from non-textual modalities even when they perceive it cor...

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.
