Resource-Efficient 3D Shape and Orientation Estimation of Road Users using Roadside RGB Camera and 3D Radar

End-to-end deep learning pipelines for camera-radar 3D object detection are well established in driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles; however, adapting them to roadside-mounted infrastructure presents significant challenges. On vehicles, sensor heights, pitch angles, and relative geometries remain largely...

Urbex: Agentic Spatial Grounding for City-Scale 3D Scenes

City-scale 3D grounding is commonly formulated as candidate ranking, which requires precomputed instance proposals and becomes inefficient in large outdoor scenes. We propose Urbex, an agentic vision-language framework that instead casts grounding as active spatial search. Urbex represents a city-scale 3D scene as an i...

ShoeFit: A New Dataset and Dual-image-stream DiT Framework for Virtual Footwear Try-On

Virtual footwear try-on (VFTON), a critical yet underexplored area in virtual try-on (VTON), aims to synthesize faithful try-on results given diverse footwear and model images while maintaining 3D consistency and texture authenticity. Unlike conventional garment-focused VTON methods, VFTON presents unique challenges du...

AffectWorld: Benchmarking Emotion-Driven Future World Prediction

The world encompasses both physical environments and human actors. Predicting its evolution requires understanding both physical laws and how emotions shape human actions. However, existing world model benchmarks primarily assess physical plausibility and perceptual quality, leaving emotion-driven world evolution large...

FALLNEST: Dual-Domain Dataset Condensation of Imbalanced IMU Data for Wearable Fall Detection

Wearable fall detection is hampered by rare fall events, scarce labeled IMU data, and the cost of training deep models on large, imbalanced corpora. Existing methods either rely on hand-crafted features with shallow classifiers, which limits learning from raw signals, or train deep networks on full datasets that requir...

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...

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.
