SG-Layout: Structured Scene Graph-Guided Layout Generation with LLMs

Understanding and generating spatially coherent layouts from natural language remains a fundamental yet challenging task for large language models (LLMs). Existing LLMs often struggle to capture explicit geometric relationships and structural dependencies between objects. To address this issue, we propose SG-Layout, a graph-guided layout generation framework that explicitly incorporates structured spatial knowledge into LLMs. SG-Layout follows a two-stage training paradigm: (1) a graph-language feature alignment stage, where a relational graph encoder and a projector are trained to map scene-graph embeddings into the LLM's linguistic space; and (2) an instruction tuning stage, where LoRA-based adapters enable efficient fine-tuning for instruction-driven layout generation while keeping the backbone frozen. We evaluate SG-Layout on image layout generation, indoor scene synthesis and robotic object rearrangement tasks. Experimental results show that SG-Layout improves spatial reasoning accuracy and geometric consistency over the compact open-source backbone, with particularly clear advantages in relation-dense and compositionally complex scenes. These results highlight the effectiveness of graph-structured feature alignment for enhancing controllable layout generation.

Prototype-guided Cross-modal Completion and Alignment for Incomplete Text-based Person Re-identification

Traditional text-based person re-identification (ReID) techniques heavily rely on fully matched multi-modal data, which is an ideal scenario. However, due to inevitable data missing and corruption during the collection and processing of cross-modal data, the incomplete data issue is usually met in real-world applications. Therefore, we consider a more practical task termed the incomplete text-based ReID task, where person images and text descriptions are not completely matched and contain partially missing modality data. To this end, we propose a novel Prototype-guided Cross-modal Completion and Alignment (PCCA) framework to handle the aforementioned issues for incomplete text-based ReID. Specifically, we cannot directly retrieve person images based on a text query on missing modality data. Therefore, we propose the cross-modal nearest neighbor construction strategy for missing data by computing the cross-modal similarity between existing images and texts, which provides key guidance for the completion of missing modal features. Furthermore, to efficiently complete the missing modal features, we construct the relation graphs with the aforementioned cross-modal nearest neighbor sets of missing modal data and the corresponding prototypes, which can further enhance the generated missing modal features. Additionally, for tighter fine-grained alignment between images and texts, we raise a prototype-aware cross-modal alignment loss that can effectively reduce the modality heterogeneity gap for better fine-grained alignment in common space. Extensive experimental results on several benchmarks with different missing ratios amply demonstrate that our method can consistently outperform state-of-the-art text-image ReID approaches.
