Adapting CLIP for zero-shot sketch-based image retrieval (ZS-SBIR) via prompt learning faces a fundamental tension: the model must bridge the sketch-photo domain gap through task-specific adaptation, yet the added flexibility risks overfitting to seen training categories and eroding CLIP's zero-shot generalization. We present SeCo-SBIR, a semantically consistent prompt learning framework that resolves this tension from both sides.

The paper investigates how Tabular Foundation Models (TFMs) can achieve strong transfer learning by self‑supervised pre‑training on a single real table. It finds that a table’s usefulness is largely determined by its number of features rather than instances, and that fine‑grained column‑level preprocessing improves downstream performance while dataset‑level filtering does not. The authors propose that tabular in‑context generalization is primarily retrieval‑based, with models learning to identify and aggregate relevant examples from the provided context.

MUGEN is a framework that generates unlearnable graph examples capable of protecting multiple downstream tasks—node classification, graph classification, and link prediction—simultaneously. It achieves this by perturbing a single clean dataset with a shared GNN encoder and task‑specific heads, guided by a Task‑Aligned Separability Objective (TASO) and a Type‑Adaptive Perturbation (TAP) that handles both discrete and continuous node attributes. Experiments on five benchmarks, four GNN backbones, and three learning paradigms show that MUGEN’s perturbations transfer across models and remain effective even under adversarial training and data augmentation.
