Video world models (WMs) have shown promise for policy evaluation and improvement by imagining realistic future observations conditioned on ego-robot actions. While WMs can model distributions over futures, policy evaluation and improvement typically rely on nominal imaginations, which can miss high-impact outcomes of...

Text-to-image diffusion models generate images by iterative denoising, so their internal layers produce trajectories of activations rather than single static representations. Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have recently been used to decompose diffusion activations into interpretable features, but most approaches analyze in...

Active vision -- where a policy controls its own gaze during manipulation -- has emerged as a key capability for imitation learning, with multiple independent systems demonstrating its benefits in the past year. Yet there is no shared benchmark to compare approaches or quantify what active vision contributes, on which...
Storyboarding is a core skill in visual storytelling for film, animation, and games. However, automating this process requires a system to achieve two properties that current approaches rarely satisfy simultaneously: inter-shot consistency and explicit editability. While 2D diffusion-based generators produce vivid imag...

While multimodal large language models demonstrate strong entity-level perception, faithfully grounding relational interactions between objects remains a persistent challenge. Although conventional visual grounding techniques attempt to resolve hallucinations by amplifying visual attention, strengthening overall visual...

Bi-CamoDiffusion is introduced, an evolution of the CamoDiffusion framework for camouflaged object detection. It integrates edge priors into early-stage embeddings via a parameter-free injection process, enhancing boundary sharpness and preventing structural ambiguity. An optimization objective that unifies spatial acc...

We introduce FCBNet, an efficient model designed for camouflaged weed detection. The architecture is based on a fully frozen ConvNeXt backbone, the proposed Feature Correction Block (FCB), which leverages efficient convolutions for feature refinement, and a lightweight decoder. FCBNet is evaluated on the WeedBananaCOD...
Solving complex long-horizon robotic tasks requires joint reasoning over abstract task structure and low-level physical interaction. While combining Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and video generation models offers a promising path for zero-shot planning, their individual tendencies to hallucinate physics or violate geo...

This work proposes MeCSAFNet, a multi-branch encoder-decoder architecture for land cover segmentation in multispectral imagery. The model separately processes visible and non-visible channels through dual ConvNeXt encoders, followed by individual decoders that reconstruct spatial information. A dedicated fusion decoder...
Many physical systems do not merely move or deform; they grow, adding material and changing the geometry that a world model must represent. Existing world models are typically optimized for pixel prediction, reward prediction, or fixed-support physical dynamics, leaving open how to model systems whose underlying physic...
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) constitutes a transformative technological wave that reconfigures industries through its unparalleled capabilities for content creation, reasoning, planning, and multimodal understanding. This revolutionary force offers the most promising path yet toward solving one of enginee...

As AI models grow more complex, explainability is essential for building trust, yet concept-based counterfactual methods still face a trade-off between expressivity and efficiency. Representing underlying concepts as atomic sets is fast but misses relational context, whereas full graph representations are more faithful...

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.
