In-context learning (ICL) adapts frozen large multimodal models (LMMs) to new tasks from a few demonstrations (demos), but re-encodes them at every query, where each demo image adds up to hundreds of visual tokens. Demo-free methods remove this cost with a compact task state. However, they add it at locations searched...
Mobile manipulators such as humanoid robots are increasingly deployed in dynamic, unstructured environments to perform dexterous manipulation tasks. However, end-to-end manipulation policies trained to imitate demonstration data collected from a single robot pose are brittle: even centimeter-scale deviations in robot p...

Robust person re-identification often combines complementary cues such as face, gait, and body shape. While adaptive fusion typically targets query quality, model strength also varies across identities. We introduce identity-conditioned score fusion, a framework that tailors weights to each gallery identity without tra...

Cross-view geo-localization is commonly solved as an image retrieval problem, matching a ground-level image against a database of satellite tiles through a jointly trained embedding. Such models are accurate, but they need large paired supervision and cannot show what evidence supports a match. In this paper, we study...

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women in Sub-Saharan Africa, where delayed diagnosis results from limited radiology expertise and fragmented clinical data systems. Although deep learning models have demonstrated strong performance in mammographic analysis, most rely solely on imagin...

Variational autoencoders (VAEs) are a key part of modern text-to-image models, which generate images within their latent space. VAEs are known to disentangle the main factors of variation in the data, and color is known to be one of the most structured of these in natural images: decorrelating it yields one luminance a...

Gaussian Belief Propagation (GBP) is a distributed inference algorithm that passes messages in graphical models, making it attractive for scalable spatial intelligence. However, we find GBP most effective locally: it rapidly smooths message errors that vary sharply between neighbor variables, but corrects global errors...

This paper concerns how semantic context determines geometry in learned vector representations. Similarity is typically measured using cosine similarity, which provides a single fixed geometry. Semantic similarity, however, is inherently context dependent: two images may be similar because they depict the same object,...

Handcrafted preprocessing is widely employed in automated dermoscopic analysis to suppress imaging artifacts and enhance lesion visibility. Nevertheless, its actual contribution to modern real-time models remains unclear, particularly when evaluation protocols do not adequately control correlations among images of the...

Achieving compositional concept generalization (CoCoGen), the ability to understand novel situations by recombining learned primitives, remains a fundamental challenge in artificial intelligence. Compositional semantic models such as Compositional Distributional Semantics (DisCoCat) offer solutions by generalising vect...

Conditional neural fields represent signals continuously, but their effectiveness depends on how the conditional latent representations are inferred from observed data. In meta-learning, this encoding occurs through gradient updates induced by the decoder, tying representation learning directly to decoder design. We fo...

Model merging aims to build a multi-task model cheaply by combining the weights of individual task-specific models. To perform well across multiple tasks, most existing merging methods use an additional dataset to find the coefficients for the best linear combination of task-specific weight updates. However, we identif...

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.
