Relational Retrieval: Leveraging Known-Novel Interactions for Generalized Category Discovery

arXiv:2605. 09420v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this study, we tackle Generalized Category Discovery (GCD) via a Relational Retrieval perspective, explicitly coupling labeled and unlabeled data through bidirectional knowledge transfer.

CloSeR: Unified Relational Distillation from Closed-Set Teachers for Category Discovery

CloSeR is a plug‑and‑play framework that enhances Generalized Category Discovery (GCD) by injecting closed‑set relational knowledge from a lightweight teacher model. The teacher is built by fine‑tuning adapters on labeled data while keeping the backbone frozen, preserving pretrained priors. Unified Relational Distillation then transfers both global sample‑to‑prototype and local sample‑to‑sample relations to the GCD task, reducing optimization interference and improving performance across six benchmarks with DINO and DINOv2 backbones.

Exploring Bottom-Up Clustering for Creating Semantic IDs

The paper proposes a new algorithm for generating Semantic IDs that are both unique and preserve the structure of the original embedding space. By employing bottom‑up clustering, the method maintains local structure, leading to higher clustering quality. This improved structure enhances the utility of the Semantic IDs for downstream generative retrieval tasks.

Preference Shapes Relevance: Cross-component Hierarchical Semantic Alignment for Personalized Generative Retrieval

The paper introduces CHAP, a personalized generative retrieval framework that aligns query semantics with item representations through a hierarchical semantic alignment module and models user behavior using both discrete Semantic IDs and continuous representations. It also proposes a Residual Cascading Generation mechanism to reduce inference latency by limiting the Transformer decoder to a single pass. Experiments on multiple datasets and online A/B tests show that CHAP outperforms existing methods, demonstrating its practical value.
