Federated vision-language models (FedVLMs) represent one of the emerging frontiers of machine learning, aiming to integrate federated learning within the fine-tuning pipelines of vision-language models (VLMs). In this work, we introduce BLEND, a new framework designed to jointly enhance the personalization and generali...

Fewer latent tokens promise cheaper diffusion. Yet aggressive latent compression creates a reconstruction-generation dilemma: adding channels improves reconstruction but makes generation harder. We introduce APEX, short for Asynchronous Prefix denoising for EXtreme compression, which pairs a hierarchical latent space w...

Stereo vision is increasingly used for robotic manipulation, with a growing body of work incorporating it into Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models. However, the scarcity of large-scale, real-world stereo datasets remains a fundamental bottleneck for scaling such policies. Recent generative monocular-to-stereo methods t...

Zebra3D, a layerwise sparse-linear hybrid attention framework that improves the efficiency of pretrained 3D foundation models without training from scratch, achieves strong reconstruction and camera-pose accuracy at high attention sparsity, with training-free variants remaining close to their dense counterparts.

High-risk applications of deep learning require precise characterization of model decision-making. We conduct a systematic explainability evaluation across Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Vision Transformers (ViTs), and Vision Mamba (ViM). Unlike predominantly qualitative studies, we quantify the alignment betwee...

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....

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...

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...
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...

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...

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...

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...

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.
Computer scientist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist will collaborate with the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing to advance AI and scientific discovery.
