Navigating the Emotion Tree: Hierarchical Hyperbolic RAG for Multimodal Emotion Recognition

Multimodal emotion recognition aims to integrate text, audio, and video sources to understand human affective states. Although multimodal large language models excel at multimodal reasoning, they typically treat emotion categories as independent labels, ignoring the rich hierarchical taxonomy of human psychology. Moreover, lacking external contextual knowledge makes them highly susceptible to over-interpreting noisy cues, further complicating fine-grained emotion classification. To address these issues, we propose \textbf{HyperEmo-RAG}, a retrieval-augmented generation framework that leverages a structured emotional knowledge base. Our framework introduces two key innovations. 1) Hierarchical hyperbolic grounding. Recognizing the inherent hierarchical tree structure of emotion taxonomies, we jointly embed hierarchical emotion labels and multimodal samples into a continuous hyperbolic space (Poincaré ball) and design a hierarchical beam-search deliberation process that progressively retrieves samples from coarse to fine-grained levels. 2) Structured evidence injection. Based on the retrieved evidence, we construct an evidence graph and inject the structured knowledge as explicit cognitive context into the LLM through a Tree-Aware Attention mechanism and an EmotionGraphFormer, preserving the integrity of graph-structured information. Experiments on multiple datasets demonstrate that HyperEmo-RAG significantly outperforms existing methods.

ContrastMask: Contrastive Learning to Segment Every Thing

Partially-supervised instance segmentation is a task which requests segmenting objects from novel unseen categories via learning on limited seen categories with annotated masks thus eliminating demands of heavy annotation burden. The key to addressing this task is to build an effective class-agnostic mask segmentation model. Unlike previous methods that learn such models only on seen categories, in this paper, we propose a new method, named ContrastMask, which learns a mask segmentation model on both seen and unseen categories under a unified pixel-level contrastive learning framework. In this framework, annotated masks of seen categories and pseudo masks of unseen categories serve as a prior for contrastive learning, where features from the mask regions (foreground) are pulled together, and are contrasted against those from the background, and vice versa. Through this framework, feature discrimination between foreground and background is largely improved, facilitating learning of the class-agnostic mask segmentation model. Exhaustive experiments on the COCO dataset demonstrate the superiority of our method, which outperforms previous state-of-the-arts.

Geometric Synthesis: A Free lunch for Large-scale Palmprint Recognition Model Pretraining

Palmprints are private and stable information for biometric recognition. In the deep learning era, the development of palmprint recognition is limited by the lack of sufficient training data. In this paper, by observing that palmar creases are the key information to deep-learning-based palmprint recognition, we propose to synthesize training data by manipulating palmar creases. Concretely, we introduce an intuitive geometric model which represents palmar creases with parameterized Bézier curves. By randomly sampling Bézier parameters, we can synthesize massive training samples of diverse identities, which enables us to pretrain large-scale palmprint recognition models. Experimental results demonstrate that such synthetically pretrained models have a very strong generalization ability: they can be efficiently transferred to real datasets, leading to significant performance improvements on palmprint recognition. For example, under the open-set protocol, our method improves the strong ArcFace baseline by more than 10\% in terms of TAR@1e-6. And under the closed-set protocol, our method reduces the equal error rate (EER) by an order of magnitude.

A Classification Supervised Auto-Encoder Based on Predefined Evenly-Distributed Class Centroids

Classic variational autoencoders are used to learn complex data distributions, that are built on standard function approximators. Especially, VAE has shown promise on a lot of complex task. In this paper, a new autoencoder model - classification supervised autoencoder (CSAE) based on predefined evenly-distributed class centroids (PEDCC) is proposed. Our method uses PEDCC of latent variables to train the network to ensure the maximization of inter-class distance and the minimization of inner-class distance. Instead of learning mean/variance of latent variables distribution and taking reparameterization of VAE, latent variables of CSAE are directly used to classify and as input of decoder. In addition, a new loss function is proposed to combine the loss function of classification. Based on the basic structure of the universal autoencoder, we realized the comprehensive optimal results of encoding, decoding, classification, and good model generalization performance at the same time. Theoretical advantages are reflected in experimental results.

Towards Palmprint Verification On Smartphones

With the rapid development of mobile devices, smartphones have gradually become an indispensable part of people's lives. Meanwhile, biometric authentication has been corroborated to be an effective method for establishing a person's identity with high confidence. Hence, recently, biometric technologies for smartphones have also become increasingly sophisticated and popular. But it is noteworthy that the application potential of palmprints for smartphones is seriously underestimated. Studies in the past two decades have shown that palmprints have outstanding merits in uniqueness and permanence, and have high user acceptance. However, currently, studies specializing in palmprint verification for smartphones are still quite sporadic, especially when compared to face- or fingerprint-oriented ones. In this paper, aiming to fill the aforementioned research gap, we conducted a thorough study of palmprint verification on smartphones and our contributions are twofold. First, to facilitate the study of palmprint verification on smartphones, we established an annotated palmprint dataset named MPD, which was collected by multi-brand smartphones in two separate sessions with various backgrounds and illumination conditions. As the largest dataset in this field, MPD contains 16,000 palm images collected from 200 subjects. Second, we built a DCNN-based palmprint verification system named DeepMPV+ for smartphones. In DeepMPV+, two key steps, ROI extraction and ROI matching, are both formulated as learning problems and then solved naturally by modern DCNN models. The efficiency and efficacy of DeepMPV+ have been corroborated by extensive experiments. To make our results fully reproducible, the labeled dataset and the relevant source codes have been made publicly available at https://cslinzhang.github.io/MobilePalmPrint/.
