Multi-Label Image Recognition (MLIR) is a challenging task that aims to predict multiple object labels in a single image while modeling the complex relationships between labels and image regions. Although convolutional neural networks and vision transformers have succeeded in processing images as regular grids of pixels or patches, these representations are sub-optimal for capturing irregular and discontinuous regions of interest. In this work, we present the first fully graph convolutional model, Group K-nearest neighbor based Graph convolutional Network (GKGNet), which models the connections between semantic label embeddings and image patches in a flexible and unified graph structure. To address the scale variance of different objects and to capture information from multiple perspectives, we propose the Group KGCN module for dynamic graph construction and message passing. Our experiments demonstrate that GKGNet achieves state-of-the-art performance with significantly lower computational costs on the challenging multi-label datasets, i.e., MS-COCO and VOC2007 datasets.

The low-level spatial detail information and high-level semantic abstract information are both essential to the semantic segmentation task. The features extracted by the deep network can obtain rich semantic information, while a lot of spatial information is lost. However, how to recover spatial detail information effectively and fuse it with high-level semantics has not been well addressed so far. In this paper, we propose a new architecture based on Bilateral Segmentation Network (BiseNet) called Multi-scale Covariance Feature Fusion Network (MCFNet). Specifically, this network introduces a new feature refinement module and a new feature fusion module. Furthermore, a gating unit named L-Gate is proposed to filter out invalid information and fuse multi-scale features. We evaluate our proposed model on Cityscapes, CamVid datasets and compare it with the state-of-the-art methods. Extensive experiments show that our method achieves competitive success. On Cityscapes, we achieve 75.5% mIOU with a speed of 151.3 FPS.

Simulating Professions (SP) enables Large Language Models (LLMs) to emulate professional roles. However, comprehensive psychological and ethical evaluation in these contexts remains lacking. This paper introduces EMNLP, an Educator-role Moral and Normative LLMs Profiling framework for personality profiling, moral development stage measurement, and ethical risk under soft prompt injection. EMNLP extends existing scales and constructs 88 teacher-specific moral dilemmas, enabling profession-oriented comparison with human teachers. A targeted soft prompt injection set evaluates compliance and vulnerability in teacher SP. Experiments on 14 LLMs show teacher-role LLMs exhibit more idealized and polarized personalities than human teachers, excel in abstract moral reasoning, but struggle with emotionally complex situations. Models with stronger reasoning are more vulnerable to harmful prompt injection, revealing a paradox between capability and safety. The model temperature and other hyperparameters have limited influence except in some risk behaviors. This paper presents the first benchmark to assess ethical and psychological alignment of teacher-role LLMs for educational AI. Resources are available at https://e-m-n-l-p.github.io/.
