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...

Gen Through the Lens: Camera-Controllable Video Generation via Cross-Coordinate Conditioning Fusion

We present Gen Through the Lens, a camera-controllable image-to-video generation framework that synthesizes videos from a given reference image while enabling realistic and physically consistent camera operations. Unlike previous models that treat camera motion as abstract conditioning or rely on a single coordinate sy...

Learning Multimodal Sensor Fusion with JEPA Representations for Breathing Activity and Pose Recognition

Predictive video representations do not by themselves specify how a multimodal system should handle missing sensors. We transfer frozen V-JEPA2 features to a set of heterogeneous sensors comprised by RGB video, depth video, and radar time series. A shared fusion model uses modality queries, fixed sensor slots, and expl...

Adaptive Look, Flexible Thought: Learning How and How Long to Think in Multimodal Reasoning

The introduction of long chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning and external tools has substantially improved the performance of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) on general and reasoning tasks. However, existing fast-slow reasoning paradigms mainly regulate textual reasoning length, while visual computation introduce...

Rethinking Human Intent-to-CAD: Parametric CAD Model Generation via Cooperative Multi-Task Alignment and Spatial-Aware Reinforcement Learning

Parametric Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) modeling from human intent remains challenging, particularly during the conceptual design stage, where design goals are expressed through incomplete and unstructured modalities (e.g., hand-drawn sketches and textual descriptions). In this work, we rethink the human intent-to-CAD p...

ELECT: Settling Identity Before Rendering for Scalable Story Visualization

ELECT, which instead settles cross-frame identity before final rendering through a language-guided scene-entity mapping and stationary anchors elected from the model's own drafts, shows that long-horizon consistency need not require increasingly expensive inter-frame conditioning as stories grow.

Across Viewpoints and Time: Trajectory-Generalizable Physical Attacks on World Models and Video Understanding Models

World models and video understanding models are increasingly deployed in dynamic visual environments, yet their robustness to physical adversarial threats remains largely underexplored. We study whether a single physical adversarial texture can mislead the victim model across different real-world scenarios where observ...

StimFlow: Synthesizing Brain Activity from Images via Stimulus-conditioned Flow Matching

The inherent variability of fMRI responses across trials encourages a generative view of the stimulus-to-response mapping. Prior generative encoders often operate in compressed latent spaces and condition predominantly on semantic features, which provide limited low-level cues for early visual cortex. We propose StimFl...

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.
