Decide Before You Look: Learning Which Retrieved Memories Deserve Pixels

Multimodal assistants answer questions from long-term memories that contain images. After retrieval, each retrieved image reaches the answering model either as pixels, at about a thousand visual tokens per image, or as a stored text proxy that often misses the detail the question asks about. We find that the benefit of...

Dynamic Alignment and Calibration for Multimodal Learning

Dynamic multimodal learning aims to learn robust representations by adaptively modeling information discrepancies across modalities. However, existing methods still suffer from two limitations: (i) static cross-modal alignment strategies usually impose uniform constraints on all samples while overlooking sample-wise va...

Multimodal Knowledge Distillation for Gastric Adenocarcinoma Classification from Whole-Slide Images

Gastric adenocarcinoma (GA) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, and accurate histopathological subtype classification from whole-slide images (WSIs) is essential for effective treatment planning. While multimodal approaches that integrate pathology report text with WSIs can improve classification,...

Diverse Motion Customization via Control-based Dynamic Optimization

This work proposes Control-based Motion Customization (CMC), a principled training framework that is structurally robust to content leakage and effectively mitigates content leakage and achieves competitive motion fidelity while preserving the diversity of the base model across diverse scenarios.

Later Is Better: Token Reduction for ViTs Under Distribution Shift

Training-free token reduction accelerates vision transformers by removing redundant tokens across layers, recovering most of the original accuracy at a fraction of the compute. These methods, however, are designed and evaluated primarily on clean data, and under real-world distribution shift their accuracy gap to the u...

What Frame-Level Labels Can and Cannot Do for Small-UAV Point Detection in Thermal Video

The growing use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has increased the importance of image-based UAV detection. Learning-based detectors are trained on imagery and annotations, with annotation type determining the information available during training. We focus on learning localization from frame-level target presence/ab...

Disentangling Dual Image References in Frequency Aware Diffusion Models for Personalized Generation

Personalized image generation aims to synthesize text-driven images conditioned on reference images, while mainly casting the generation as image customization for foreground and style transfer for background. Previous arts of diffusion models suffers from the text misalignment with background for image customization a...

OpenSplatGraph: From Dense Semantic Maps to Structured Scene Graphs for Open-Vocabulary Robot Perception

Dense 3D mapping with semantic understanding is essential for robotic perception in complex environments. Recent 3D Gaussian Splatting-based mapping approaches enable high-fidelity geometry and efficient open-vocabulary perception, but typically represent semantics as unstructured feature fields that limit object-centr...

ElasticFit: Fit-Aware 3D Object Insertion via VLM Reasoning and Generative Adaptation

ElasticFit is introduced, a VLM-guided framework for fit-aware object insertion centered on a novel scene-grounded representation that generates a scene-conditioned object prior, reconstructs it in 3D, and refines the mesh through mode-specific fitting while enforcing collision avoidance, contact consistency, and physi...

Graph-Based Recognition of Simulated Train-Driver States From Facial and Upper-Body Keypoints

Driver fatigue poses a significant challenge to railway safety, with traditional systems like the dead-man switch offering limited and basic alertness checks. This study presents a vision-based monitoring system that relies solely on a single front-facing RGB camera and a graph neural network to classify simulated trai...

Anchor and Adapt: Asymmetric Prompt Adaptation for Few-Shot Industrial Anomaly Detection

In few-shot industrial anomaly detection, the few normal target images provide no direct defect supervision, making anomaly prompts difficult to learn from these samples alone. Some vision-language methods therefore use manually specified descriptions to supply explicit anomaly semantics. However, constructing these de...

Visual-Invariance-Augmented Feature Optimal Alignment for Transferable Adversarial Attacks against Closed-Source MLLMs

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) remain vulnerable to transferable adversarial examples, especially in black-box settings where only open-source surrogate models are accessible. Existing targeted transfer attacks mainly align adversarial and target samples using global image-level features, such as encoder [CLS...

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.
