Label-Efficient Deep Learning for ECG Delineation: A Multi-Dataset Benchmark against Widely Used Delineation Tools

Electrocardiogram (ECG) delineation, the identification of waveform boundaries, is a foundational step that translates raw ECG signals into clinically interpretable measurements. Deep learning has advanced this task but remains dependent on costly expert annotations. Label-efficient strategies such as self-supervised p...

$\alpha$Transfer: Coefficient Transfer for Efficient Model Merging

Model merging offers a promising solution for combining multiple fine-tuned checkpoints into a single model through parameter arithmetic. However, finding optimal merging coefficients requires an extensive search that becomes prohibitively expensive as models scale in both size and number, due to high memory requiremen...

Adversarially Trained Linear Transformers Are Optimal Robust In-Context Learners for Gaussian Mixtures

Adversarial training is one of the most reliable defenses against adversarial attacks, but its high computational cost must generally be paid anew for each task. Robust foundation models offer a promising alternative: adversarially pretrain a model once and then transfer its robustness to downstream tasks through light...

Decoupling What from Where: How Should a Small GUI Grounding Model Receive the Action Type?

A GUI agent decides which action to take and where to take it; we ask how a small grounding model should receive the action type. Fine-tuning Qwen2-VL-2B with LoRA on Android in the Wild, we compare a flat baseline with five ways of supplying the type under matched data, compute, and decoding: an auxiliary loss, a hard...

Learnable Spectral Activations

Implicit neural representations (INRs) are shaped by the spectral structure induced by their input encodings and activation functions. Existing methods improve fitting primarily by modifying which frequencies are available to the network, through coordinate encodings or periodic nonlinearities. However, frequency acces...

ATLAS-AL: Adaptive Trust-Region for Latent Adversarial Searches via Active Learning

Security evaluation of learning-based systems requires more than just testing the system against a fixed collection of attacks. It requires adaptive mechanisms that can efficiently discover \textit{sets} of inputs that induce model failure. We introduce ATLAS (Adaptive Trust-Regions for Latent Adversarial Searches), wh...

Sample-Optimal Estimation of the Fr\'echet Inception Distance

The Fr\'echet Inception Distance (FID) is widely used to evaluate generative models, but its empirical plug-in estimator suffers from finite-sample bias [BSAG18, CF20]. We study the sample complexity $n$ of estimating FID to error $\epsilon$ between $d$-dimensional Gaussians with bounded mean distance and covariances,...

Should We Skip Diffusion?

Diffusion models learn semantic representations while generating images. In the Decoupled Diffusion Transformer (DDT), a condition encoder provides features that guide a velocity decoder in denoising. To enable effective denoising at all noise levels, these features must capture both high-level abstract structures and...

TEMPEST: Temporal Embeddings for Scalable Driver Identification via Angular Margin Learning

Scalable driver identification requires embedding models that maintain discriminative performance as fleet size grows, yet existing triplet-loss formulations degrade rapidly with driver pool size and overfit to session-specific patterns under rigorous temporal evaluation. We introduce TEMPEST, a Temporal Convolutional...

Answer with Evidence: Consistency-Aware Grounded Visual Question Answering for Roadside Traffic Scenes

This work introduces Enumerate-then-Answer (EtA), which reverses the generation order so that answer-evidence agreement becomes a property of the output structure, and Enumeration-Consistent Policy Optimization (ECPO), a reinforcement learning stage that uses the union of multiple rollouts as a recall teacher without g...

Beyond the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Colormap Assessment through Data-Aware Perceptual Metric

Continuous colormaps are widely used to visualize scalar fields, and their quality is typically evaluated using measures such as discriminative power and uniformity. Existing measures primarily characterize the intrinsic perceptual properties of the colormap itself, largely independent of the underlying data distributi...

EvoDesign: Agentic Editable Diagram Creation via Design Expertise Evolution

High-fidelity diagram creation requires the complex orchestration of semantic topology, visual styling, and spatial layout, posing a significant challenge for automated systems. Existing methods also suffer from a representation gap: pixel-based models often lack precise control, while code-based synthesis limits intui...

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.
