SEED: Targeted Data Selection by Weighted Independent Set

Data selection seeks to identify a compact yet informative subset from large-scale training corpora, balancing sample quality against collection diversity. We formulate this problem as a Weighted Independent Set (WIS) on a similarity graph, where nodes represent data samples weighted by influence, and edges connect semantically redundant pairs. This formulation naturally yields subsets that are simultaneously high-quality and diverse. However, two challenges arise in practice: naive node weights fail to distinguish informative signals from gradient noise, and edge construction under heterogeneous domain distributions produces structurally imbalanced graphs that bias selection toward sparse regions. To address these issues, we introduce two principled refinements from a unified graph perspective: (1) \textit{node value calibration} that restricts influence estimation to the bilateral salient subspace to ground node importance in task-relevant signals rather than surface-level statistics; (2) \textit{local scale normalization} that adapts edge thresholds to local neighborhood density, mitigating graph imbalance induced by cross-domain distribution shifts. Together, these components yield a robust and scalable data selection pipeline dubbed SEED. We further construct \texttt{Honeybee-Remake-SEED-200K}, a compact multimodal dataset curated by SEED. Extensive experiments show that SEED consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods on instruction tuning, visual instruction tuning, and semantic segmentation across diverse model families.

Label-efficient Hybrid-supervised Learning for Medical Image Segmentation

Due to the lack of expertise for medical image annotation, the investigation of label-efficient methodology for medical image segmentation becomes a heated topic. Recent progresses focus on the efficient utilization of weak annotations together with few strongly-annotated labels so as to achieve comparable segmentation performance in many unprofessional scenarios. However, these approaches only concentrate on the supervision inconsistency between strongly- and weakly-annotated instances but ignore the instance inconsistency inside the weakly-annotated instances, which inevitably leads to performance degradation. To address this problem, we propose a novel label-efficient hybrid-supervised framework, which considers each weakly-annotated instance individually and learns its weight guided by the gradient direction of the strongly-annotated instances, so that the high-quality prior in the strongly-annotated instances is better exploited and the weakly-annotated instances are depicted more precisely. Specially, our designed dynamic instance indicator (DII) realizes the above objectives, and is adapted to our dynamic co-regularization (DCR) framework further to alleviate the erroneous accumulation from distortions of weak annotations. Extensive experiments on two hybrid-supervised medical segmentation datasets demonstrate that with only 10% strong labels, the proposed framework can leverage the weak labels efficiently and achieve competitive performance against the 100% strong-label supervised scenario.

Learning Self-Supervised Low-Rank Network for Single-Stage Weakly and Semi-Supervised Semantic Segmentation

Semantic segmentation with limited annotations, such as weakly supervised semantic segmentation (WSSS) and semi-supervised semantic segmentation (SSSS), is a challenging task that has attracted much attention recently. Most leading WSSS methods employ a sophisticated multi-stage training strategy to estimate pseudo-labels as precise as possible, but they suffer from high model complexity. In contrast, there exists another research line that trains a single network with image-level labels in one training cycle. However, such a single-stage strategy often performs poorly because of the compounding effect caused by inaccurate pseudo-label estimation. To address this issue, this paper presents a Self-supervised Low-Rank Network (SLRNet) for single-stage WSSS and SSSS. The SLRNet uses cross-view self-supervision, that is, it simultaneously predicts several complementary attentive LR representations from different views of an image to learn precise pseudo-labels. Specifically, we reformulate the LR representation learning as a collective matrix factorization problem and optimize it jointly with the network learning in an end-to-end manner. The resulting LR representation deprecates noisy information while capturing stable semantics across different views, making it robust to the input variations, thereby reducing overfitting to self-supervision errors. The SLRNet can provide a unified single-stage framework for various label-efficient semantic segmentation settings: 1) WSSS with image-level labeled data, 2) SSSS with a few pixel-level labeled data, and 3) SSSS with a few pixel-level labeled data and many image-level labeled data. Extensive experiments on the Pascal VOC 2012, COCO, and L2ID datasets demonstrate that our SLRNet outperforms both state-of-the-art WSSS and SSSS methods with a variety of different settings, proving its good generalizability and efficacy.

ProCo: Prototype-aware Contrastive Learning for Long-tailed Medical Image Classification

Medical image classification has been widely adopted in medical image analysis. However, due to the difficulty of collecting and labeling data in the medical area, medical image datasets are usually highly-imbalanced. To address this problem, previous works utilized class samples as prior for re-weighting or re-sampling but the feature representation is usually still not discriminative enough. In this paper, we adopt the contrastive learning to tackle the long-tailed medical imbalance problem. Specifically, we first propose the category prototype and adversarial proto-instance to generate representative contrastive pairs. Then, the prototype recalibration strategy is proposed to address the highly imbalanced data distribution. Finally, a unified proto-loss is designed to train our framework. The overall framework, namely as Prototype-aware Contrastive learning (ProCo), is unified as a single-stage pipeline in an end-to-end manner to alleviate the imbalanced problem in medical image classification, which is also a distinct progress than existing works as they follow the traditional two-stage pipeline. Extensive experiments on two highly-imbalanced medical image classification datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms the existing state-of-the-art methods by a large margin.

Tell Me the Evidence? Dual Visual-Linguistic Interaction for Answer Grounding

Answer grounding aims to reveal the visual evidence for visual question answering (VQA), which entails highlighting relevant positions in the image when answering questions about images. Previous attempts typically tackle this problem using pretrained object detectors, but without the flexibility for objects not in the predefined vocabulary. However, these black-box methods solely concentrate on the linguistic generation, ignoring the visual interpretability. In this paper, we propose Dual Visual-Linguistic Interaction (DaVI), a novel unified end-to-end framework with the capability for both linguistic answering and visual grounding. DaVI innovatively introduces two visual-linguistic interaction mechanisms: 1) visual-based linguistic encoder that understands questions incorporated with visual features and produces linguistic-oriented evidence for further answer decoding, and 2) linguistic-based visual decoder that focuses visual features on the evidence-related regions for answer grounding. This way, our approach ranked the 1st place in the answer grounding track of 2022 VizWiz Grand Challenge.
