SGG-R$^{\rm 3}$: From Next-Token Prediction to End-to-End Unbiased Scene Graph Generation

Scene Graph Generation (SGG) structures visual scenes as graphs of objects and their relations. While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have advanced end-to-end SGG, current methods are hindered by both a lack of task-specific structured reasoning and the challenges of sparse, long-tailed relation distributions, resulting in incomplete scene graphs characterized by low recall and biased predictions. To address these issues, we introduce SGG-R$^{\rm 3}$, a structured reasoning framework that integrates task-specific chain-of-thought (CoT)-guided supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning (RL) with group sequence policy optimization (GSPO), designed to engage in three sequential stages to achieve end-to-end unbiased scene graph generation. During the SFT phase, we propose a relation augmentation strategy by leveraging an MLLM and refined via embedding similarity filtering to alleviate relation sparsity. Subsequently, a stage-aligned reward scheme optimizes the procedural reasoning during RL. Specifically, we propose a novel dual-granularity reward which integrates fine-grained and coarse-grained relation rewards, simultaneously mitigating the long-tail issue via frequency-based adaptive weighting of predicates and improving relation coverage through semantic clustering. Experiments on two benchmarks show that SGG-R$^{\rm 3}$ achieves superior performance compared to existing methods, demonstrating the effectiveness and generalization of the framework.

GMM-Based Comprehensive Feature Extraction and Relative Distance Preservation For Few-Shot Cross-Modal Retrieval

Few-shot cross-modal retrieval focuses on learning cross-modal representations with limited training samples, enabling the model to handle unseen classes during inference. Unlike traditional cross-modal retrieval tasks, which assume that both training and testing data share the same class distribution, few-shot retrieval involves data with sparse representations across modalities. Existing methods often fail to adequately model the multi-peak distribution of few-shot cross-modal data, resulting in two main biases in the latent semantic space: intra-modal bias, where sparse samples fail to capture intra-class diversity, and inter-modal bias, where misalignments between image and text distributions exacerbate the semantic gap. These biases hinder retrieval accuracy. To address these issues, we propose a novel method, GCRDP, for few-shot cross-modal retrieval. This approach effectively captures the complex multi-peak distribution of data using a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) and incorporates a multi-positive sample contrastive learning mechanism for comprehensive feature modeling. Additionally, we introduce a new strategy for cross-modal semantic alignment, which constrains the relative distances between image and text feature distributions, thereby improving the accuracy of cross-modal representations. We validate our approach through extensive experiments on four benchmark datasets, demonstrating superior performance over six state-of-the-art methods.

Fast and accurate Deflectometry with Crossed Fringes

Phase Measuring Deflectometry (PMD) acquires the two components of the local surface gradient via a sequence of two orthogonal sinusoidal fringe patterns that have to be displayed and captured separately. We will demonstrate that the sequential process (different fringe directions, phase shifting) can be completely avoided by using a cross fringe pattern. With an optimized Fourier evaluation, high quality data of smooth optical surfaces can be acquired within one single shot. The cross fringe pattern allows for one more improvement of PMD: we will demonstrate a novel phase-shift technique, where a one-dimensional N-phase shift allows for the acquisition of the two orthogonal phases, with only N exposures instead of 2N exposures. So, PMD can be implemented by a one-dimensional translation of the fringe pattern, instead of the common two-dimensional translation, which is quite useful for certain applications.
