A Deterministic Evidence Layer for Vision-Language Autism Screening from Naturalistic Home Video

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is diagnosed through specialist observation of a child's social behavior, and access to that expertise is the bottleneck for early identification. Vision-language models (VLMs) describe a child's behavior from video well; the verdict drawn from the description is unstable: at temperature~...

Do Vision Models Learn Physical Constraints or Rendering Shortcuts? A Counterfactual Benchmark for Grounded Physical Consistency

Modern image editing models can satisfy a text instruction while breaking the physics of the edited scene. A new object may cast no shadow, a mirror may fail to reflect visible geometry, or an object may float above a surface that should support it. We study physical plausibility diagnosis, detecting whether an edited...

Visual Memory Attacks Can Persist Through The KV Cache

Modern language model systems operate autonomously over increasingly long contexts containing untrusted text and images. Can an adversarial input continue to steer a model even after that input is removed from its context? We show that attacks can be trained to persist through the key/value (KV) cache of subsequent tok...

Personalize at Test Time: Learning User Preferences for Image Generation

This formulation reduces per-user adaptation to optimizing a low-dimensional weight vector, simplifying optimization and enabling data-efficient personalization from sparse feedback and improves the alignment of generated images with individual user preferences.

RACER: Reflective Agent Coupling Query Interpretation and Tool-Based Retrieval for Frame Selection in Long Video Understanding

Video large language models (Vid-LLMs) excel at diverse video-language tasks by reasoning over selected frames. However, frame selection for long videos remains challenging, as it requires retrieving relevant frames distributed across segments from a large candidate pool given complex queries. This paper investigates d...

One-Slide Calibration of Pathology Foundation Models

SlideRuler is introduced, which uses regions within a slide as internal controls to estimate and correct acquisition-induced shifts in other regions to offer a path toward more consistent use of frozen pathology models across imaging systems.

STRIDE: Spatial-Temporal Representation for Interval-conditioned Disease Evolution in Longitudinal Glioblastoma MRI

Glioblastoma (GBM), an aggressive primary brain tumor, is routinely monitored with longitudinal MRI after treatment. Distinguishing stable disease (SD), pseudoprogression (PsP), and true progression (TP) remains challenging because these states can show overlapping MRI appearances despite different temporal trajectorie...

Autonomous Driving Research Requires a Community-Driven Data Paradigm

Autonomous driving has made remarkable progress, with recent AI advances enabling commercial deployments that are reshaping urban mobility. Yet the field remains far from its universal social promise: autonomous systems that can operate robustly anywhere, anytime, for anyone. We posit that this gap is not merely a mode...

Pre-training, Reasoning, Benchmarking: X-ray Report Generation on CheXpert Plus Dataset

X-ray image-based Radiology Report Generation (RRG) constitutes a critical research direction within medical artificial intelligence, with great potential to alleviate clinicians'diagnostic workload and shorten patient waiting periods. Despite substantial advances over recent years, the field faces evident bottlenecks...

GAGR-Lab: Evaluating Joint Spatial-Geometric and Analytic Function Reasoning

Joint spatial-geometric and analytic function reasoning requires translating a perceived spatial configuration into a symbolic function whose executed curve satisfies geometric constraints. We present GAGR-Lab, a framework for measuring this capability through Cartesian game scenes, explicit function semantics, and aut...

D3S2: Diffusion-Guided Dataset Distillation for Semantic Segmentation

Dataset distillation (DD) aims to compress large-scale datasets into compact synthetic sets while preserving training efficacy. However, existing studies mainly focus on image classification, leaving dense prediction tasks such as semantic segmentation largely underexplored. In this work, we identify three key challeng...

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.
