HGA-Quant: Heterogeneity-Aware Quantization for AutoRegressive Visual Generation Models

Recently, AutoRegressive Visual Generation (ARVG) models have emerged as a competitive paradigm for high-quality image synthesis. However, their substantial computational and memory demands make them difficult to deploy on resource-constrained edge devices. Post-Training Quantization (PTQ) provides a promising solution...

Co-DSL: Human-LLM Co-design of Reusable Spatial Concepts for Layout Generation

We present Co-DSL, a framework in which users and LLMs co-design reusable spatial concepts for layout generation. In the first stage, our system allows users to create a library of personalized operations. To add a concept, a user provides a description, which the LLM converts into an initial implementation. The user c...

Protein Crystallization Segmentation and Classification Using Subordinate Color Channel in Fluorescence Microscopy Images

The accuracy of detecting protein crystals for fluorescence microscopy images is very critical for high throughput and automated systems. Although the trace fluorescent labeling method could highlight protein crystals, reflection and emission from the fluorescence dye is not always due to crystal regions. Therefore, th...

GeoBridge: Evolving Transferable Decoder Topologies for Geometric Vision

Depth estimation and Gaussian reconstruction share a need for multi-scale feature processing, yet use different prediction interfaces and training objectives. Whether a decoder's internal computation can be optimized once and reused across these systems remains a structural design question. Search over primitive config...

RIECNN: Real-Time Image Enhanced CNN for Traffic Sign Recognition

Traffic sign recognition plays a crucial role in the development of autonomous cars to reduce the accident rate and promote road safety. It has been a necessity to address traffic signs that are affected significantly by the environment as well as poor real-time performance for deep-learning state-of-the-art algorithms...

VLCQ: Post-training quantization for deep neural networks using variable length coding

Quantization plays a crucial role in efficiently deploying deep learning models on resource-constrained devices. Post-training quantization does not require access to the original dataset or retraining the full model. Current methods that achieve high performance close to baseline results typically require INT8 fixed-p...

Deep Learning-based Semantic Segmentation of Dental Radiographs: Comparative Evaluation of PSPNet, DeepLabv3, UNet, and UNet++

Accurate and efficient analysis of dental radiographs has become increasingly important for disease diagnosis and clinical decision making. In particular, dental radiographs segmentation plays a critical role as it is challenging due to several reasons, such as low contrast, noise in the images, variations in the image...

Getting Space Right: Agentic Rewards for Image Generation

Reinforcement learning (RL) is promising for spatial text-to-image generation, but existing work largely focuses on policy optimization, assuming accurate rewards and effective online rollouts. We observe in-domain gains with out-of-domain degradation, exposing two limitations: unreliable spatial rewards in open-world...

YOUDrive: Driving Style as a Composable Direction for End-to-End Autonomous Driving

End-to-end driving policies can achieve strong task performance while offering limited control over their driving style. Driving style describes how a vehicle accelerates, brakes, and maintains distance. Policies trained without explicit preference conditioning lack a direct mechanism for adjusting these behaviors at i...

Prospective Forcing: Learning to Look Ahead for Autoregressive Long Video Diffusion

Autoregressive video generators synthesize long videos through chunk-wise rollouts, yet they are typically trained to predict only the immediate future. This limited prediction horizon makes it challenging to maintain video quality over extended rollouts. To address this problem, we introduce Prospective Forcing, a mul...

EarthAlign: Learning Language-Aligned Representations of Earth System Data

EarthAlign and MeteoLIP provide a foundation for learning and evaluating language-aligned representations of Earth system data and improve upon the corresponding CLIP and SigLIP baselines across three downstream tasks: cross-modal retrieval, weather-condition classification, and physical variable estimation.

Compositional Concepts Erasing: Disentangling Object-Style via Domain Manifold Unlearning

Diffusion models pose significant risks regarding the generation of illicit content and copyright violations. This has catalyzed the development of machine unlearning to erase harmful concepts or copyrighted styles from a model's generative repertoire without compromising its general performance. However, previous unle...

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.
