Representation Disentanglement for Fair Chest X-Ray Diagnosis

Deep learning has advanced chest X-ray (CXR) diagnosis, yet demographic biases in learned representations may contribute to performance disparities across intersectional groups. We propose a single-encoder framework combining dual-level decorrelation with prototype-guided cross-group contrastive learning to reduce demo...

Scalable Minimal-Change Learning for Controllable Image Editing

Image editing should change only the attributes specified by an instruction while preserving everything else, yet current methods often make unintended changes. We treat this minimal-change principle as an optimization objective for instruction-based editing. Latent L1 regularization is a poor proxy for output locality...

Investigating Query-Insensitive Behavior in Spatio-Temporal Video Grounding

Spatio-temporal video grounding (STVG) aims to localize objects or events described by natural language queries in both space and time. Existing STVG models are typically trained and evaluated under the assumption that each query is relevant to the input video. In this work, we challenge this assumption by studying the...

JLD: Perceptual Distance Through A Jacobian Lens

Image compression, restoration, and generation all require a way to measure how different two images look to a person. Pixel error ignores how people see, while the most accurate perceptual distances are typically fitted to human judgments, tying them to a fixed data and resolution. For example, when image resolution i...

ReMem: Streaming Video Understanding With Long Context Retention

Despite their impressive performance on a wide range of video understanding tasks, current Vision Language Models (VLMs) are predominantly designed for offline scenarios and struggle to handle online streaming videos that demand low latency response. Several studies have explored memory and token compression strategies...

UltraDub: Towards Authentic Dubbing by Unifying Visually-Steered Flow Learning and Trajectory Guidance

Visual voice cloning requires intelligible, speaker-consistent speech synchronized with visible articulation. However, sequential multimodal conditioning can disrupt previously established temporal and speaker cues, while imbalanced inference guidance can improve linguistic accuracy at the expense of lip synchronizatio...

On Hyperparameter Tuning on the Test Set

"Don't tune hyperparameters on the test set" is often stated in machine learning textbooks. Violating it is considered a cardinal sin that produces misleadingly optimistic results, corrupts benchmark integrity, and thus can even be interpreted as scientific fraud. Yet evidence suggests that test set hyperparameter tuni...

TasteRoute: Personalized Routing for Video Generation

Rapid progress in video generation has led to a plethora of models that differ substantially in capability and generation cost. This raises a natural question: can each request be efficiently routed to an appropriate model? We find that even when the consensus of the other annotators is used as an oracle, it agrees wit...

Weave Mamba Fusion: Global Cross-Scale Interaction for Lightweight Face Detection

Feature pyramid methods, from FPN to BiFPN, have achieved strong performance in face detection by fusing multi-scale features. However, detecting faces under unconstrained conditions, such as small scale, occlusion, and extreme pose, remains difficult, as it requires global cross-scale dependencies that local fusion ca...

Imagine to Act: High-Fidelity Data Synthesis via Image Editing World Model for Scalable GUI Agent Training

Graphical User Interface (GUI) agents have emerged as a promising paradigm for automating complex digital workflows across diverse applications. However, training highly capable and generalizable agents fundamentally relies on massive, high-fidelity visual-action trajectories, which are notoriously difficult to acquire...

Level-of-Token Diffusion

Image and video diffusion models allocate equal computation to every region, even when the intended scene calls for varying levels of detail. The spatial distribution of detail can often be anticipated before generation, indicating where computation can be reduced. We introduce Level-of-Token (LoT) Diffusion, a framewo...

HLA-WM: Hybrid Linear Attention for Long-Horizon Video World Models

Long-horizon video world models require persistent memory to preserve scene consistency over extended rollouts. Softmax attention retains the full generation history through a growing KV cache, whereas recurrent linear attention compresses history into fixed-size states with substantially lower memory cost. However, we...

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.
