Compositional Feature Augmentation for Unbiased Scene Graph Generation

Scene Graph Generation (SGG) aims to detect all the visual relation triplets $<$\texttt{sub}, \texttt{pred}, \texttt{obj}$>$ in a given image. With the emergence of various advanced techniques for better utilizing both the intrinsic and extrinsic information in each relation triplet, SGG has achieved great progress over the recent years. However, due to the ubiquitous long-tailed predicate distributions, today's SGG models are still easily biased to the head predicates. Currently, the most prevalent debiasing solutions for SGG are re-balancing methods, \eg, changing the distributions of original training samples. In this paper, we argue that all existing re-balancing strategies fail to increase the diversity of the relation triplet features of each predicate, which is critical for robust SGG. To this end, we propose a novel Compositional Feature Augmentation (\textbf{CFA}) strategy, which is the first unbiased SGG work to mitigate the bias issue from the perspective of increasing the diversity of triplet features. Specifically, we first decompose each relation triplet feature into two components: intrinsic feature and extrinsic feature, which correspond to the intrinsic characteristics and extrinsic contexts of a relation triplet, respectively. Then, we design two different feature augmentation modules to enrich the feature diversity of original relation triplets by replacing or mixing up either their intrinsic or extrinsic features from other samples. Due to its model-agnostic nature, CFA can be seamlessly incorporated into various SGG frameworks. Extensive ablations have shown that CFA achieves a new state-of-the-art performance on the trade-off between different metrics.

Cross-Domain Molecular Relational Learning: Leveraging Chemical Structure-Activity Analysis

Recent advances in molecular representation integrates molecular topological and visual modalities, opening new avenues for precise Molecular Relational Learning (MRL). Existing MRL methods focus on intra-domain modeling, and their inherent domain-closed effect limits applicability to molecular science, particularly in elucidating cross-domain interaction mechanisms. Consequently, the imperative for Cross-Domain Molecular Relational Learning has become increasingly pressing. Benefiting from structure-activity analysis, we propose the Domain Adversarial Training Network with Structural-Semantic Transfer Discrepancy (DisTrans) to optimize cross-domain adaptive representation for molecular structures and visual images. 1) We employ the gradient reversal strategy based on substructure topological discrepancies between domains to learn the domain dependence of molecular structures. This strategy guides the model to adapt to the structural adjacency patterns in the target domain, generating domain-separable structural representations. 2) We apply the cross-domain representation guidance mechanism to align the functional-group semantic information between the source and target domains, learning cross-domain consistency information. The experimental results in two typical cross-domain strategies demonstrate that DisTrans outperforms 16 baseline methods, maintaining satisfactory performance even under pronounced inter-domain discrepancy.

Direct Product Flow Matching: Decoupling Radial and Angular Dynamics for Few-Shot Adaptation

Recent flow matching (FM) methods improve the few-shot adaptation of vision-language models, by modeling cross-modal alignment as a continuous multi-step flow. In this paper, we argue that existing FM methods are inherently constrained by incompatible geometric priors on pre-trained cross-modal features, resulting in suboptimal adaptation performance. We first analyze these methods from a polar decomposition perspective (i.e., radial and angular sub-manifolds). Under this new geometric view, we identify three overlooked limitations in them: 1) Angular dynamics distortion: The radial-angular coupling induces non-uniform speed on the angular sub-manifold, leading to regression training difficulty and extra truncation errors. 2) Radial dynamics neglect: Feature normalization discards modality confidence, failing to distinguish out-of-distribution and in-distribution data, and abandoning crucial radial dynamics. 3) Context-agnostic unconditional flow: Dataset-specific information loss during pre-trained cross-modal feature extraction remains unrecovered. To resolve these issues, we propose warped product flow matching (WP-FM), a unified Riemannian framework that reformulates alignment on a warped product manifold. Within this framework, we derive direct product flow matching (DP-FM) by introducing a constant-warping metric, which yields a decoupled cylindrical manifold (i.e., direct product manifold). DP-FM enables independent radial evolution and constant-speed angular geodesic transport, effectively eliminating angular dynamics distortion while preserving radial consistency. Meanwhile, we incorporate classifier-free guidance by conditioning the flow on the pre-trained VLMs' hidden states to inject missing dataset-specific information. Extensive results across 11 benchmarks have demonstrated that DP-FM achieves a new state-of-the-art for multi-step few-shot adaptation.

Measuring the Impact of Student Gaming Behaviors on Learner Modeling

The expansion of large-scale online education platforms has made vast amounts of student interaction data available for knowledge tracing (KT). KT models estimate students' concept mastery from interaction data, but their performance is sensitive to input data quality. Gaming behaviors, such as excessive hint use, may misrepresent students' knowledge and undermine model reliability. However, systematic investigations of how different types of gaming behaviors affect KT remain scarce, and existing studies rely on costly manual analysis that does not capture behavioral diversity. In this study, we conceptualize gaming behaviors as a form of data poisoning, defined as the deliberate submission of incorrect or misleading interaction data to corrupt a model's learning process. We design Data Poisoning Attacks (DPAs) to simulate diverse gaming patterns and systematically evaluate their impact on KT model performance. Moreover, drawing on advances in DPA detection, we explore unsupervised approaches to enhance the generalizability of gaming behavior detection. We find that KT models' performance tends to decrease especially in response to random guess behaviors. Our findings provide insights into the vulnerabilities of KT models and highlight the potential of adversarial methods for improving the robustness of learning analytics systems.

Modeling Item-Level Dynamic Variability with Residual Diffusion for Bundle Recommendation

Existing solutions for bundle recommendation (BR) have achieved remarkable effectiveness for predicting the user's preference for prebuilt bundles. However, bundle-item (B-I) affiliation will vary dynamically in real scenarios. For example, a bundle themed as 'casual outfit' may add 'hat' or remove 'watch' due to factors such as seasonal variations, changes in user preferences or inventory adjustments. Our empirical study demonstrates that the performance of mainstream BR models may fluctuate or decline under item-level variability. This paper makes the first attempt to address the above problem and proposes a novel Residual Diffusion for Bundle Recommendation(RDiffBR)asamodel-agnostic generative framework which can assist a BR model in adapting this scenario. During the initial training of the BR model, RDiffBR employs a residual diffusion model to process the item-level bundle embeddings which are generated by the BR model to represent bundle theme via a forward-reverse process. In the inference stage, RDiffBR reverses item-level bundle embeddings obtained by the well-trained bundle model under B-I variability scenarios to generate the effective item level bundle embeddings. In particular, the residual connection in our residual approximator significantly enhances BR models' ability to generate high-quality item-level bundle embeddings. Experiments on six BR models and four public datasets from different domains show that RDiffBR improves the performance of Recall and NDCG of backbone BR models by up to 23%, while only increases training time about 4%.
