VICAL is a framework for long‑tailed visual recognition that focuses on reducing prediction variance rather than increasing expert diversity. It combines Self‑Consistency Learning, which smooths the loss landscape and mitigates overfitting on tail classes, with Deep Ensemble Distillation, which encourages low‑frequency semantic agreement across experts. Experiments on CIFAR‑LT, ImageNet‑LT, and iNaturalist 2018 demonstrate that VICAL consistently outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods.

The paper introduces Trusted Multi-view learning with Unified Routing (TMUR), a method that separates view-specific evidence extraction from fusion arbitration in multi-view classification. TMUR employs view-private experts, a collaborative expert, and a unified router that assigns sample-level weights based on global context, along with soft load-balancing and diversity regularization to promote balanced and discriminative expert use. Experiments on 14 datasets show that TMUR consistently improves classification accuracy and reliability compared to 15 recent baselines.
