Prototype-Based Knowledge Guidance for Fine-Grained Structured Radiology Reporting

Structured radiology reporting promises faster, more consistent communication than free text, but automation remains difficult as models must make many fine-grained, discrete decisions about rare findings and attributes from limited structured supervision. In contrast, free-text reports are produced at scale in routine...

Never Look Back: Understanding Persistence in 3D Object Memory from Egocentric Videos

As we move through the world and carry out everyday tasks, we encounter objects that may become relevant only later. We are capable of recalling where we left something or what was inside a container, even without knowing we would need it later. Here, we study how an embodied assistant can build a similar memory from e...

Long-WAM: Scaling the Context of World-Action Models

Long-WAM is presented, a model-system framework for scaling the context of causal world-action models under real-time control constraints, and finds that access to history is not the same as using it: longer histories pay off far more when the video foundation is pretrained autoregressively (AR).

RoboQuest: Generalist Physical Agents that Search, Inspect and Test

Recent advances in multimodal foundation models have made them capable generalist physical agents for a range of manipulation tasks. However, successful operation in an unfamiliar environment may require an agent to seek task-relevant information through interaction when it is absent from the observations: it may need...

Performance at What Cost? A Sustainability-Aware Performance Index for Cell and Nucleus Instance Segmentation

Pretrained models for cell and nuclear instance segmentation differ substantially in architecture, pretraining data and objectives, parameter count, inference strategy, adaptation requirements, postprocessing pipeline, and computational demand. Large pretrained and foundation models are increasingly adopted because of...

LoomSC: Scalable Deep Subspace Clustering with Projector Factorization and Exact Spectral Reduction

Dense self-expression matrices and full-affinity spectral clustering limit the scalability of subspace clustering. We introduce the Latent Orthogonal Optimization Model for Subspace Clustering (LoomSC), a framework that addresses both bottlenecks through projector factorization and exact spectral reduction. Motivated b...

VideoEvolve: Co-Evolving Memory and Retrieval for Long Video Understanding

Long video understanding increasingly relies on external memory to organize massive visual streams into compact representations. However, most memory-based methods dynamically adapt how information is retrieved for different questions, while largely fixing what is remembered. This mismatch makes missing details costly...

From Pixel to Coding: Evaluating the Figure Reproduction Capabilities of MLLMs

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in both visual understanding and code generation. However, existing benchmarks typically evaluate these two modalities in isolation, lacking a dedicated assessment of their unification, i.e., how a model can perceive complex visual struc...

UltraText Bench: A Comprehensive Bilingual Benchmark for Evaluating Visual Text Rendering in Image Generation

Dense visual text requires image generators to reproduce long strings across multiple regions with correct placement and legibility. As short-string rendering improves, evaluation must test sustained performance across more demanding scenes. We introduce UltraText Bench, a bilingual benchmark for prompt-only generation...

DisParQ: Self-Supervised Part Concepts for Interpretable Vision Foundation Models

Concept-based vision models represent images through an intermediate layer of human-inspectable concepts, so what a model relies on can be traced to those concepts. However, those models are often limited to fixed categories or depend on language to define their concepts. We introduce DisParQ (Discrete Parts with Quant...

PARC-Loc: Text-to-Point-Cloud Localization with Partial Assignment and Relational Consistency

Text-to-point-cloud localization estimates a position in a city-scale 3D map from descriptions of surrounding objects. Existing coarse-to-fine methods retrieve submaps using aggregate learned compatibility and then localize within a selected submap. However, repetitive or similar urban objects can inflate the embedding...

What Makes Synthetic Hard Negatives Work in Vision-Language Pretraining?

Synthetic hard negatives generated in the representation space have proven effective for unimodal self-supervised learning, but transferring this idea to vision-language pretraining is not straightforward. We analyze six representation-space synthesis strategies and identify two failure modes in their transfer to visio...

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.
