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...

Understanding Transformer-based Vision Models through Inversion

Understanding the internal mechanisms of deep neural networks remains a central challenge in machine learning. In computer vision, one promising yet only preliminarily explored approach is feature inversion via inverse networks, which reconstructs images from intermediate representations using trained inverse networks....

Conditional Vendi Score: Prompt-Aware Diversity Evaluation for Generative AI Models and LLMs

Generative models guided by text prompts are widely evaluated for fidelity and prompt alignment, yet their ability to produce diverse outputs remains underexplored. Existing diversity metrics such as Vendi and RKE, which are based on the von Neumann and R\'enyi entropies of kernel matrices, were developed for unconditi...

Hide and Seek: HIDE Concepts to SEEK explanations for black box models

Interpreting machine learning model predictions is a central challenge, particularly for black-box vision models. Concept-based attribution methods interpret models using human-understandable concepts. Existing concept-based methods can only interpret classification and regression models. They require access to model w...

SpatialASM: Internalizing Active Mentalization for Spatial Reasoning

When solving complex spatial reasoning tasks, ordinary humans naturally revisit the scenes from task-relevant viewpoints and mentally reconstruct the spatial layouts from those viewpoints. But can Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) proactively think in the same way? We term this ability Active Spatial Mentalization (...

LAPT-Scale: Scaling Embodied Policies with Latent Action Pre-Training on Human Videos

Scaling generalist robotic policies is limited by the high cost of collecting embodied interaction data. Large-scale egocentric human videos offer a rich alternative, but they lack robot action labels, and existing action annotation methods are often noisy under real-world visual complexity and diverse manipulation dyn...

Model-agnostic Knowledge Augmented Machine Learning for Weakly Annotated Bioimaging Data

Machine learning models are increasingly used for automated feature extraction from weakly annotated bioimaging data, such as microscopy and cytomorphology images. Due to the sole dependency of automated feature extraction, existing methods yield inconsistent classification performance across weakly annotated datasets....

When MLLMs miss what humans read: diagnosing and learning to read squint text

Multimodal LLMs can fail to read text embedded in an image's coarse structure (text a human recovers by squinting) and report that no text is present. We name this class Squint Text and study it as a recognition deficiency, motivated by cases from a production moderation pipeline. We introduce SquintBench, comprising 1...

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.
