CultureScore: Evaluating Cultural Faithfulness in Video Generation Models

As video generation models like Veo 3.1 and LTX-2 advance, their ability to accurately represent diverse global cultures remains a critical yet understudied frontier. Current metrics, such as VideoScore, only measure visual quality but offer no mechanism for assessing cultural faithfulness. Consequently, a model that r...

STREAM: Stochastic Riemannian Flow Matching with Anisotropic Decoder for Digital Histopathology Image Generation

Synthetic histopathology image generation addresses patient-privacy concerns and the growing data demands of foundation models. Existing state-of-the-art histopathology generative models use pretrained Vision Foundation Models (VFMs) as conditioning signals. We show this yields conditioning-dominated diversity: on TCGA...

MMBU: A Massive Multi-modal Biomedical Understanding Benchmark to Probe the Perception Capabilities of Vision-Language Models

Vision and language models (VLMs) hold immense promise to transform biomedical imaging workflows, from detecting lesions in chest X-rays to profiling cellular features in microscopy. Realizing this potential, however, requires robust and fine-grained visual perception. Models need to correctly interpret subtle features...

Brain-IT-VQA: From Brain Signals to Answers

Decoding visual content from fMRI signals recorded while a person views images, and specifically answering questions about the seen images, is a long-standing challenge. While significant progress has been made in recent years in visual question answering (VQA) from fMRI, performance remains limited. Moreover, although...

vSV-ViT: Variable-size SuperVertex Vision Transformer for Cortical Surface Learning in Alzheimer's Disease

Learning from 3D meshes is challenging because the data reside on non-Euclidean surfaces embedded in 3D space. This is particularly evident in domains such as brain cortical surface analysis, where existing models typically rely on ROI-agnostic, face-based, or fixed-size patches. Such patches can duplicate boundary ver...

Erased but Exploitable: Black-box Embedding-Aware Prompting Against Unlearned Text-to-Image Diffusion Models

BEAP is introduced, a black-box, embedding-aware adversarial prompting attack that leverages a large language model (LLM) to iteratively generate effective adversarial prompts and exploit such hidden vulnerabilities.

DrawVideo: Grounded and Faithful Multi-Shot Video Generation from Storyboard Keyframe Sketches

Long video generation requires high-fidelity visual synthesis, coherent narrative organization, shot-level structure, and explicit user control. Existing text-to-video methods typically generate videos from a single long-form prompt, making it difficult for creators to directly control character pose, camera compositio...

The TIME Machine: On The Power of Motion for Efficient Perception

Video representation learning has seen tremendous progress in recent years. This has been driven by many factors, including the scale of training and the success of self-supervised models trained on next-frame prediction. While these factors have pushed the boundaries of what video models can do, they also introduce th...

COMIC: Agentic Sketch Comedy Generation

We propose a fully automated AI system that produces short comedic videos similar to sketch shows such as Saturday Night Live. Starting from character references, the system employs a population of agents loosely modeled on roles in real production studios and structured to optimize the quality and diversity of ideas a...

RAC: Rectified Flow Auto Coder

In this paper, we propose a Rectified Flow Auto Coder (RAC) inspired by Rectified Flow to replace the traditional VAE: 1. It achieves multi-step decoding by applying the decoder to flow timesteps. Its decoding path is straight and correctable, enabling step-by-step refinement. 2. The model inherently supports bidirecti...

De-occluding broadband metalens

Obstructions such as raindrops, fences, or dust degrade captured images, especially when mechanical cleaning is infeasible. Conventional solutions to obstructions rely on a bulky compound optics array or computational inpainting, which compromise compactness or fidelity. Metalenses composed of subwavelength meta-atoms...

The Universal Weight Subspace Hypothesis

We show that deep neural networks trained across diverse tasks exhibit remarkably similar low-dimensional parametric subspaces. We provide the first large-scale empirical evidence that demonstrates that neural networks systematically converge to shared spectral subspaces regardless of initialization, task, or domain. T...

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.
