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.
