Beyond Boundaries: A Comprehensive Survey of Transferable Attacks on AI Systems

Transferable attacks allow adversarial manipulations or learned attack mechanisms constructed in one setting to compromise other AI systems, potentially reducing attack costs and amplifying security and privacy risks. Yet fragmented terminology and evaluation practices hinder understanding of what transfers, why it tra...

Not Every Mention Is a Claim: Rethinking Object Hallucination Detection in Vision-Language Models

Object hallucination in vision-language models (VLMs) is usually measured by checking each object a caption names against the image. Most benchmarks and detectors alike treat every object mention as a claim that the object is present. This assumption fails when a caption names an object without asserting it, as in "a b...

Enhancing RAG-based Medical VQA with Gated Multimodal Representations

Medical Vision-Language Models (Med-LVLMs) have shown strong performance in Medical Visual Question Answering (MVQA), yet they may still produce factually inconsistent responses. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) can mitigate this issue by incorporating external clinical evidence; however, retrieval is often guided...

Execution Before Memory: Diagnosing Memory Failures in Video World Models

A memory test for a video world model should say whether the scene was set, whether the asked change was carried out, and whether the last frame shows the result. Current tests fold these into one number, so a low score is easy to read as forgetting. When the change is not carried out, the hidden state transition canno...

Revealing the Impact of Visual Text Style on Attribute-based Descriptions Produced by Large Visual Language Models

When the visual style of text is considered, a wide variety can be observed in font, color, and size. However, when a word is read, its meaning is independent of the style in which it has been written or rendered. In this paper, we investigate whether, and how, the style in which a word is visualized in an image impact...

Leveraging Cell-level Spatial Transcriptomics as Weak Supervision for Nuclei Classification

Deep learning-based nuclei analysis in histopathology relies heavily on large-scale, expert-curated datasets that are costly and difficult to scale across organs. To address this, we propose a scalable framework leveraging cell-level spatial transcriptomics (ST) as an alternative supervision source for nuclei classific...

CoatFusion: Controllable Material Coating in Images

We introduce Material Coating, a novel image editing task that simulates applying a thin material layer onto an object while preserving its underlying coarse and fine geometry. Material coating is fundamentally different from existing "material transfer" methods, which are designed to replace an object's intrinsic mate...

NeuralDMD: Interpretable Neural Representation of Dynamics from Sparse and Noisy Measurements

Many challenges in scientific imaging involve solving ill-posed inverse problems, where the goal is to recover spatio-temporal fields from indirect, noisy, and highly sparse measurements - often without access to ground truth data or reliable simulators. To address this challenging scenario, we present NeuralDMD, an in...

Rethinking Negative Prompting for Concept Suppression: Unconditional Anchoring and Localized Guidance

Text-to-image diffusion models have rapidly transitioned from research prototypes to widely deployed tools. Along with their impressive capabilities, these models can also generate harmful or undesirable content (e.g., NSFW imagery), motivating practical mechanisms for removing such concepts. Negative prompting, which...

Paint Outside the Box: Synthesizing and Selecting Training Data for Visual Grounding

Visual grounding aims to localize the image regions based on a textual query. Given the difficulty of large-scale data curation, we investigate how to effectively learn visual grounding under data-scarce settings in this paper. To address the data scarcity, we propose a novel framework, POBF (Paint Outside the Box and...

Less is More: Efficient Black-box Attribution via Minimal Interpretable Subset Selection

To develop a trustworthy AI system, it is essential to understand its behavior using attribution methods, which aim to identify the input regions that most influence the model's decisions. For discrete inputs such as images, however, accurately identifying input-prediction interactions is particularly challenging becau...

An Efficient Approach to Beetle Damage Detection of Banana Using Deep Learning

Visible surface damage of banana fruits by Basilepta subcostata (the banana fruit scarring beetle) can reduce their market value. Here, manual inspection of Banana fruits is subjective and difficult to scale. This study presents a lightweight framework based on YOLOv8n deep learning model for locating individual banana...

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.
