ZeST: an VLM-based Zero-Shot Traversability Navigation for Unknown Environments

The advancement of robotics and autonomous navigation systems hinges on the ability to accurately predict terrain traversability. Traditional methods for generating datasets to train these prediction models often involve putting robots into potentially hazardous environments, posing risks to equipment and safety. To so...

Optimizing Breast Cancer Detection in Mammograms: A Comprehensive Study of Transfer Learning, Resolution Reduction, and Multi-View Classification

Mammography, an X-ray-based imaging technique, remains central to the early detection of breast cancer. Recent advances in artificial intelligence have enabled increasingly sophisticated computer-aided diagnostic methods, evolving from patch-based classifiers to whole-image approaches and then to multi-view architectur...

MoFlow: One-Step Flow Matching for Human Trajectory Forecasting via Implicit Maximum Likelihood Estimation based Distillation

In this paper, we address the problem of human trajectory forecasting, which aims to predict the inherently multi-modal future movements of humans based on their past trajectories and other contextual cues. We propose a novel motion prediction conditional flow matching model, termed MoFlow, to predict K-shot future tra...

Look-Before-Move: Narrative-Grounded World Visual Attention in Dynamic 3D Story Worlds

As embodied AI and world models increasingly operate in dynamic 3D environments, visual perception must move beyond passively interpreting given observations toward actively deciding what to observe. We study this problem through camera planning in dynamic 3D story worlds, where the camera must not only generate smooth...

One Figure, Every Canvas: Editable Flowchart Relayout via Agentic Pipeline

Pipeline figures in ML papers must be repurposed across many canvases, including paper columns, 16:9 slides, portrait posters, 1:1 social teasers, 9:16 phone previews. Each format imposes a different aspect ratio on the same computational graph, where any silently broken connection misrepresents the method. We formulat...

Learning to Read the Contextual Tokens in Diffusion Transformers

Multimodal Diffusion Transformers (MM-DiTs) jointly process visual and textual representations throughout generation. These models repeatedly update the text tokens through multimodal attention, forming dynamic contextual tokens whose function is not well understood. In this work, we introduce a framework for reading t...

UniSlider: Perceptually Uniform Sliders for Continuous Image Editing

Sliders provide an intuitive interface for continuous image editing. In current generative approaches, however, the slider is simply a rescaling of the method's strength parameter, such as an adapter coefficient, a prompt weight, or an interpolation factor. This strength relates poorly to perceptual change. The image c...

TAPDreamer: Transferable Adversarial Patches for World Action Models

World models learn to predict how their environment will evolve, making them an important foundation for general-purpose robotic control. Yet world action models depend on camera inputs whose manipulation can corrupt the visual representations used across tasks and action policies. Existing attacks on these models opti...

MC-Sparse: Deconstructing and Closing the Dense-Sparse Attention Gap in Diffusion Transformers

Sparse attention is a primary approach to reducing the latency of diffusion transformers in long-sequence generation tasks, such as video and high-resolution 3D asset generation. However, existing methods can degrade generation quality and fidelity at high sparsity levels. Through controlled oracle comparisons, we trac...

VideoTapestry: Query-Adaptive Memory Refinement for Multi-Agent Long-Video Understanding

Long-video understanding places substantial demands on memory, as answering questions often requires retrieving information distributed across extended temporal spans. Existing approaches broadly follow two paradigms: query-driven exploration, which is sensitive to localization errors, and query-independent memory cons...

AffordCraft: Scalable Construction of Task-Ready Simulation Assets from Single Images

Robot learning in simulation depends on the objects the simulator offers. Many tasks need objects with separate parts, joints that allow the required motion, and physical properties that remain valid under contact. Existing methods recover this structure anew for every image: generative models predict parts and joints...

SimForcing: Distilling Simulation Motion Priors into Real-Domain Robot World Models

Action-conditioned robot world models must respond precisely to robot trajectories while preserving realistic visual dynamics, yet learning both from heterogeneous robot videos remains challenging. Simulation offers structured motion supervision, but appearance differences hinder direct transfer, and inaccurate simulat...

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.
