• Abstract: Current surgical scene graph generation methods depend on dense multi-modal supervision and specialized hardware (synchronized RGB-D sensors, calibration rigs), making dataset construction expensive and restricting all existing benchmarks to simulated environments. We propose SAGE-OR, a feature-centric framework that replaces the traditional detect-then-reason paradigm with a decoupled representation-reasoning paradigm in which localization is derived from frozen foundation models, encoded implicitly in pre-computed features, and used without any localization supervision, while a lightweight graph transformer performs relational reasoning over cached features. We employ a semi-supervised formulation with general-purpose segmentation prompts to eliminate localization supervision while enabling unsupervised context augmentation through additional prompt-driven entities, such as hands, which are absent from annotations. General-purpose prompts are used to induce near-perfect recall, while precision is delegated to downstream attention-based reasoning, enabling simple adaptation to new entities via prompt-level modification. This design enables a lightweight 15M-parameter graph transformer that trains in 1.4 hours and runs relational inference at $\sim$1ms per frame with peak memory under 2GB, suitable for edge hardware used in the operating room; feature extraction runs offline as a separate caching stage (4.27s per frame). On the 4D-OR benchmark, the core model achieves 76% F1, matching the fully supervised 4D-OR baseline while eliminating all localization annotations, and unsupervised hand augmentation raises this to 86%, within 4 points of state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods requiring dense multi-modal supervision, providing a practical pathway for adaptation to new surgical settings without annotation other than relationship and class labels.

  We argue that such timestep-agnostic alignment is suboptimal because the useful granularity of representation supervision changes systematically with the signal-to-noise ratio.<n>In high-noise regimes, diffusion models benefit more from coarse semantic and layout-level anchoring, whereas in low-noise regimes, the training signal should emphasize spatially detailed and structurally faithful refinement.<n>This non-stationary alignment behavior creates a representational mismatch for static single-level supervisors.
