Fly-by-Code: Embodied Coding Agents for Aerial Manipulation with Active Visual and Physical Feedback

Embodied coding agents construct robot policies from natural-language instructions by generating executable programs and refining them from execution feedback. This refinement assumes that execution feedback reveals whether the task succeeded and, after a failure, provides sufficient evidence to guide program revision....

CORAL-KV: Compact Cross-Layer Prediction and Residual Coding for Autoregressive Video KV Caches

Autoregressive video diffusion models maintain a growing attention key-value (KV) cache, making memory a key bottleneck for long video generation. Recently, clustering-based quantization has emerged as an effective method to compress video KV caches by grouping similar key and value vectors then quantizing residual err...

Spanning Diffusion and Flow-based Posterior Sampling via Exact Gaussian Conditioning

Flow-matching and diffusion models are increasingly used as priors for linear inverse problems, however, most methods are bespoke to one class of trajectory prior. Plug-and-play methods have been proposed, however these implicitly decorrelate the guided trajectory, resulting in broad priors that can struggle when data...

Kernelized Parameter Sensitivity Atlases for Amortized Conditional Interpretability

Gradient-based attribution provides input-specific information about model parameters, but computing it via backpropagation for many samples is expensive, while static importance scores discard input dependence. We derive KPSA (Kernelized Parameter Sensitivity Atlas) from a block decomposition of the empirical neural t...

Decoupling the Declarative from the Procedural in Vision-Language-Action Models

Deploying generalist robotic agents in the real world requires transferable skills. Specifically, a policy trained to clone a behavior from object-specific demonstrations must generalize beyond that object, otherwise data collection requirements become intractable. Recently, fine-tuning of pre-trained billion-parameter...

The Invisible Hand of Physics: When Video Diffusion Models Know More Than They Show

Modern video diffusion models generate increasingly realistic and temporally coherent videos, motivating their use as candidate world simulators. Yet it remains unclear whether these models internally encode physical structure, or merely reproduce motion patterns seen during training. We study this question by probing...

MyoSem: Aligning Electromyography with Natural-Language Action Semantics

Electromyography (EMG) records muscle activation for hand gesture recognition, prosthetic control, and wearable interaction. Existing EMG methods usually formulate hand action understanding as prediction over fixed gesture labels, leaving EMG signals and action-semantic text unaligned in a common feature space and limi...

VITAL: Visual-Semantic Dual Supervision for Enhanced and Interpretable Latent Reasoning in Medical MLLMs

Latent reasoning enables reasoning over continuous hidden states rather than explicit tokens, avoiding the language bottleneck and inference overhead of chain-of-thought for medical VQA. However, existing methods suffer from modality collapse, insufficient visual supervision, and train-inference mismatch. Moreover, the...

AnomalyAgent: Agentic Industrial Anomaly Synthesis via Tool-Augmented Reinforcement Learning

Industrial anomaly generation is a crucial method for alleviating the data scarcity problem in anomaly detection tasks. Most existing anomaly synthesis methods rely on single-step generation mechanisms, lacking complex reasoning and iterative optimization capabilities, making it difficult to generate anomaly samples wi...

CORE-Seg: Reasoning-Driven Segmentation for Complex Lesions via Reinforcement Learning

Medical image segmentation is undergoing a paradigm shift from conventional visual pattern matching to cognitive reasoning analysis. Although Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown promise in integrating linguistic and visual knowledge, significant gaps remain: existing general MLLMs possess broad common s...

Physics-inspired Generative AI models via real hardware-based noisy quantum diffusion

Quantum Diffusion Models (QDMs) are an emerging paradigm in Generative AI that aims to use quantum properties to improve the performances of their classical counterparts. However, existing algorithms are not easily scalable due to the limitations of near-term quantum devices. Following our previous work on QDMs, here w...

WoundAmbit: Bridging State-of-the-Art Semantic Segmentation and Real-World Wound Care

Chronic wounds affect a large population, particularly the elderly and diabetic patients, who often exhibit limited mobility and co-existing health conditions. Automated wound monitoring via mobile image capture can reduce in-person physician visits by enabling remote tracking of wound size. Semantic segmentation is ke...

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.
