CRISP (Compositional Relational Invariance from Spatial Primitives) is an image‑classification framework that decomposes visual recognition into primitive elements and their relational composition. It represents these compositions with soft unary, binary, and ternary predicates over primitive locations and appearance, enabling differentiable spatial and visual alignment learned end‑to‑end. Evaluated on five DomainBed datasets covering style, provenance, and camera‑trap shifts, CRISP achieves new state‑of‑the‑art performance on both benchmarks.

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.

Open-vocabulary remote sensing segmentation has recently emerged as a promising paradigm that enables pixel-level recognition of arbitrary categories specified by natural language, including classes unseen during training. However, geospatial domain shifts caused by heterogeneous regions, spatial resolutions, and acquisition platforms weaken visual-text matching and limit cross-dataset generalization.
