• Abstract summary: Generalized Category Discovery aims to simultaneously uncover novel categories and accurately classify known ones. Traditional methods, which lean heavily on self-supervision and contrastive learning, often fall short when distinguishing between fine-grained categories. We introduce a novel concept called self-expertise', which enhances the model's ability to recognize subtle differences and uncover unknown categories.

• Abstract: In this paper, we address Generalized Category Discovery, aiming to simultaneously uncover novel categories and accurately classify known ones. Traditional methods, which lean heavily on self-supervision and contrastive learning, often fall short when distinguishing between fine-grained categories. To address this, we introduce a novel concept called `self-expertise', which enhances the model's ability to recognize subtle differences and uncover unknown categories. Our approach combines unsupervised and supervised self-expertise strategies to refine the model's discernment and generalization. Initially, hierarchical pseudo-labeling is used to provide `soft supervision', improving the effectiveness of self-expertise. Our supervised technique differs from traditional methods by utilizing more abstract positive and negative samples, aiding in the formation of clusters that can generalize to novel categories. Meanwhile, our unsupervised strategy encourages the model to sharpen its category distinctions by considering within-category examples as `hard' negatives. Supported by theoretical insights, our empirical results showcase that our method outperforms existing state-of-the-art techniques in Generalized Category Discovery across several fine-grained datasets. Our code is available at: https://github.com/SarahRastegar/SelEx.

  We propose a novel preview-based category contrastive learning method for knowledge distillation (PCKD) It first distills the structural knowledge of both instance-level feature correspondence and the relation between instance features and category centers. It can explicitly optimize the category representation and explore the distinct correlation between representations of instances and categories.

  We tackle the generalized category discovery problem, which aims to discover novel classes in unlabeled datasets. We introduce a novel concept learning framework for GCD, named ConceptGCD, that categorizes concepts into two types: derivable and underivable. Our framework first extracts known class concepts by a known class pre-trained model and then produces derivable concepts from them.

  We investigate a new practical scenario called Fine-grained Category Discovery under Coarse-grained supervision (FCDC) FCDC aims at discovering fine-grained categories with only coarse-grained labeled data, which can adapt models to categories of different granularity from known ones and reduce significant labeling cost. We propose a hierarchical weighted self-contrastive network by building a novel weighted self-contrastive module and combining it with supervised learning in a hierarchical manner.
