Unified multimodal diffusion large language models (dLLMs) offer a single architecture for both image generation and multimodal understanding, but their iterative decoding requires tens to hundreds of forward passes. Existing few-step distillation methods largely focus on either image generation or text generation, mak...

We present GHARP (Real-time Gaussian Head Animation from Large-scale Reconstruction Prior), a method that animates 3D human heads in real time from a few input images of a subject and a driving expression signal. We decouple the problem into an identity stage that builds a representation of the subject's geometry and a...

Shortcut learning is a prevalent issue in robot learning. The limited diversity of robot demonstration datasets can mislead policies into exploiting spurious correlations between tasks and irrelevant features, such as viewpoint or background. Collecting sufficiently diverse robot demonstrations is costly and inefficien...

Text-to-image diffusion models are increasingly distilled into few-step variants and being deployed to enable fast inference. However, their ability to generate harmful or undesired content poses significant safety risks. Data-driven unlearning methods suppress targeted generations by fine-tuning model weights using sp...

Generative diffusion models are well-suited for probabilistic precipitation nowcasting, but existing approaches often rely on separately trained compression or deterministic forecasting components and remain costly at inference due to iterative denoising. We introduce Just Weather Scoring (JWS), a single-stage, end-to-...

Flow matching has emerged as a scalable paradigm for training high-quality generative models, but sampling from the learned probability flow requires many network evaluations. Distillation can reduce this cost to one or a few evaluations; however, one-step generation often sacrifices quality, making few-step generation...

Binary diffusion models typically require a large number of function evaluations (NFEs) to generate high-quality samples, making practical inference computationally expensive. Reducing NFEs while preserving sample quality without distillation or additional training remains a significant challenge. Existing binary diffu...

HSVDQuant is presented, a unified framework modeling low-rank-assisted W4A4 PTQ as a coupled calibration problem and deriving optimization-based solvers from the joint objective, which achieves better W4A4 performance with substantially lower rank and quantization cost.
Researchers are exploring effective one-step generative model continuously, and, Drifting Models (Deng et al., 2026), demonstrate great potential in one-step generation recently. There are works that reveal the connection between Diffusion & Flow Style Generative Models (DFSGMs) (Ho et al., 2020; Song et al., 2020a;b;...

Choosing the right large language model (LLM) backbone is the most consequential decision when building a vision-language model (VLM), yet it remains fundamentally unprincipled: compute-based scaling laws fail to generalize across model families, and no framework exists for directly predicting VLM performance before tr...

Decision-time planning with action-conditioned world models has become a popular paradigm for embodied control. However, the standard planning cost judges a candidate solely by how close its predicted terminal state lies to the goal, leaving the realizability of the intermediate transitions unchecked--a predicted traje...

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.
