FreshMem: Brain-Inspired Frequency-Space Hybrid Memory for Streaming Video Understanding

Transitioning Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) from offline to online streaming video understanding is essential for continuous perception. However, existing methods lack flexible adaptivity, leading to irreversible detail loss and context fragmentation. To resolve this, we propose FreshMem, a Frequency-Space H...

SRUG: A Fusion-Driven Generator Network for Medical Image Translation

MRI sequence synthesis aims to recover missing image contrast while preserving patient-specific anatomy. The choice of generation mechanism affects both optimization and the way source information reaches the synthesized image. In this study, we propose SRUG, a supervised standalone fusion-driven generator that learns...

GPF-Net: Gated Progressive Fusion Learning for Polyp Re-Identification

Colonoscopic Polyp Re-Identification (ReID) aims to match the same polyp across a large gallery of images captured from different viewpoints and with different cameras, playing a critical role in computer-aided diagnosis for the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer. However, the coarse granularity of high-leve...

Inverse-LLaVA: Rethinking Multimodal Alignment via Text-to-Vision Mapping

Connecting pretrained vision and language models usually involves projecting image features into the language model's input space. Inverse-LLaVA reverses this mapping within decoder attention: language states are projected to the visual feature dimension, and modality-specific maps produce residual query, key, and valu...

Heterogeneous-Modal Unsupervised Domain Adaptation via Latent Space Bridging

Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) effectively bridges the domain gap between a labeled source domain and an unlabeled target domain, but assumes that the two domains share the same modality. Heterogeneous domain adaptation (HDA) instead handles different feature spaces across domains, yet requires labeled target sam...

Efficient Dense Crowd Trajectory Prediction Via Dynamic Clustering

Crowd trajectory prediction plays a crucial role in public safety and management, where it can help prevent disasters such as stampedes. Recent works address the problem by predicting individual trajectories and considering surrounding objects based on manually annotated data. However, these approaches tend to overlook...

MAMHOI: Factorizing Scene-Aware Human-Object Interaction through Affordances

MAMHOI factorizes scene-aware HOI generation through an explicit motion-affordance interface between scene understanding and motion synthesis, allowing scene understanding and interaction dynamics to be learned from complementary sources of supervision without requiring paired human-object-scene data.

LeWAM: A JEPA World Action Model with Diffusion-Steering-Based MPC

World action models (WAMs) predict actions and future observations, typically from a reconstruction-based representation that carries noisy, redundant information which can complicate downstream predictions. We introduce LeWAM, a bidirectional transformer for forward, backward, inverse dynamics and policy prediction, o...

SpaceFlow: Locally Controllable 3D Generation

Current 3D generation methods lack explicit local control: geometric adherence is often defined by a global control strength, and appearance cannot be specified locally. We present SpaceFlow, a training-free pipeline for locally controllable 3D generation from text descriptions and a collection of geometric primitives....

Distilling Routed 3D Privilege for Spatial Reasoning in Vision-Language Models

Spatial reasoning remains a persistent weakness of vision-language models (VLMs), because RGB inputs do not directly provide geometric evidence. Existing remedies either inject 3D into the model at inference, paying architecture and latency costs, or train with outcome rewards that supervise only the final answer. Spat...

ContiLNN: Mitigating Slice Sampling Discontinuity with Liquid Neural Networks for Medical Image Restoration

Anatomical continuity provides complementary information for medical image restoration, but its use requires accounting for local anatomy and variations in slice sampling. We introduce ContiLNN, which augments two-dimensional restoration backbones with bidirectional closed-form continuous-time (Bi-CfC) modules for cros...

RiCo: Neural Simulation of Rigid-Body Interactions via Local Contact Reasoning

Accurate simulation of rigid-body interactions is essential for predictive physical world models. Despite recent progress in modeling object dynamics, capturing how local contacts between surfaces shape object motion remains challenging. While end-to-end world models predict interactions across entire scenes or objects...

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.
