Synergistic Dual-Branch Adaptation for Multi-modal Generalized Category Discovery
Generalized Category Discovery (GCD) aims to classify old categories and discover new ones from unlabeled data. Recent multi-modal approaches introduce retrieved or synthesized texts into a dual-branch architecture to provide semantic cues complementary to visual features. However, the cross-modal synergy in existing dual-branch methods remains coarse and incomplete: the two modalities are encoded independently with the bias and noise in the derived text left unaddressed during encoding, and existing mutual learning strategies operate only on global class-level anchors, lacking fine-grained relational supervision. To address these limitations, we propose the Synergistic Dual-Branch Adapta...
