Domain Generalization through Spatial Relation Induction over Visual Primitives
Domain generalization requires identifying stable representations that support reliable classification across domains. Most existing methods seek such stability through improving the training process, for example, through model selection strategies, data augmentation, or feature-alignment objectives. Although these strategies can be effective, they leave the representation learning of structural composition implicit, which may limit performance on compositional domain generalization benchmarks. In this work, we propose Primitive-Aware Relational Structure for domain gEneralization (PARSE), an image classification framework that factors visual recognition into visual primitives and their relational composition. We represent these compositions using soft binary, ternary, and quaternary predicates over primitive locations, yielding differentiable measures of spatial alignment that can be learned end-to-end. To learn primitives and relational structures jointly, we design an end-to-end architecture with three components: (1) a convolutional neural network (CNN) backbone that extracts general visual features, (2) a concept bottleneck layer that maps these features to primitive heatmaps with differentiable spatial coordinates, and (3) a structural scoring layer that evaluates candidate spatial relations among the detected primitives. We then compute class probability from the joint evidence of its class-specific relational compositions. Across CUB-DG and the DomainBed benchmark suite,PARSE improves accuracy by over 4.5 percentage points on CUB-DG and remains competitive with existing DG methods on DomainBed.

Relation Schema Induction using Tensor Factorization with Side Information
Given a set of documents from a specific domain (e.g., medical research journals), how do we automatically build a Knowledge Graph (KG) for that domain? Automatic identification of relations and their schemas, i.e., type…
