GeoFix: Geometry Fixing for 4D Consistent Generation

Video diffusion models increasingly serve as priors for 4D generation, but the generated videos often lack geometric consistency. Recent approaches address this through post-training by designing geometric rewards, yet this can degrade texture and fine detail, requiring auxiliary appearance rewards and careful reward b...

Latent World Action Model for GUI Agents

Pixel-space world models have recently emerged as a promising approach for GUI agents, predicting future screens prior to execution and subsequently re-perceiving them for action selection. However, this two-stage paradigm faces two key challenges in GUI environments: (L1) the high computational cost of pixel reconstru...

Beyond Discrimination: Evaluating Probability Calibration in Radiomics-Image Fusion for Renal Cell Carcinoma Classification

Reliable probability estimates are important for the clinical interpretation of machine-learning classifiers, yet radiomics--image fusion models for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are commonly evaluated primarily by discrimination. Using 396 patients from the KiTS23 dataset, we evaluated whether adding radiomics to four im...

PLDiv: Measuring Dataset Diversity and Semantic Collapse via Persistence Landscapes

Modern data pipelines increasingly combine human-created and human-curated data with AI-generated data for model training and evaluation. As datasets grow, they often add semantically redundant samples rather than expanding semantic coverage, which deteriorates the quality of the whole dataset. Existing diversity metri...

Barycentric Anchored Weight Search for Robust Model Merging

We propose Barycentric Anchored Search, a post-hoc weight-space procedure for improving fine-tuned vision models under distribution shift without additional gradient training or increased inference cost. Given a pre-trained initialization and two checkpoints fine-tuned on a source dataset, the method constructs barycen...

SharedSAE: a unified sparse dictionary across u-net blocks and denoising time for diffusion models

Concept representations in diffusion models drift across network depth and denoising time, yet existing sparse autoencoders offer only per-block or per-timestep dictionaries, leaving no single feature dictionary for localization and intervention in the network. We present Shared Sparse Autoencoder (SharedSAE), which le...

Posterior Flow Matching

Flow matching learns how to transport noise toward data, but its mean prediction does not directly report the endpoint uncertainty remaining at an intermediate state. This paper introduces Posterior Flow Matching (PFM), a general generative modeling framework that learns conditional velocity means and componentwise var...

Selective Knowledge Control for Continual GUI Agent Learning over Application Streams

Continual learning is a crucial capability for Graphical User Interface (GUI) agents to adapt to evolving applications while retaining knowledge acquired from previous applications. Such application streams pose a challenging knowledge modeling problem: new applications often share underlying knowledge with past ones,...

Thinker-WM: A Unified World Model with Shared Multimodal Representations for Embodied Intelligence

World models have emerged as a promising paradigm for embodied AI, yet existing systems often remain fragmented in the modalities they model and the functions they support. In particular, visual dynamics, geometric structure, and executable action are commonly coupled through separate interfaces or downstream modules r...

Autonomous 3D Visual-Thermal Inspection for Utility-Scale Solar Farms

Utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) inspection is dominated by aerial surveys, which are effective for identifying module-level hot cells but provide limited visibility of critical components located under the array, including connectors, cabling, fasteners and structural elements. These assets are difficult to inspect con...

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.
