Unity in Diversity: Multi-expert Knowledge Confrontation and Collaboration for Generalizable Vehicle Re-identificationZhenyu Kuang, Hongyang Zhang, Mang Ye et al.
Generalizable vehicle re-identification (ReID) seeks to develop models that can adapt to unknown target domains without the need for additional fine-tuning or retraining. Previous works have mainly focused on extracting domain-invariant features by aligning data distributions between source domains. However, interfered by the inherent domain-related redundancy in the source images, solely relying on common features is insufficient for accurately capturing the complementary features with lower occurrence probability and smaller energy. To solve this unique problem, we propose a two-stage Multi-expert Knowledge Confrontation and Collaboration (MiKeCoCo) method, which fully leverages the high-level semantics of Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (CLIP) to obtain a diversified prompt set and achieve complementary feature representations. Specifically, this paper first designs a Spectrum-based Transformation for Redundancy Elimination and Augmentation Module (STREAM) through simple image preprocessing to obtain two types of image inputs for the training process. Since STREAM eliminates domain-related redundancy in source images, it enables the model to pay closer attention to the detailed prompt set that is crucial for distinguishing fine-grained vehicles. This learned prompt set related to the vehicle identity is then utilized to guide the comprehensive representation learning of complementary features for final knowledge fusion and identity recognition. Inspired by the unity principle, MiKeCoCo integrates the diverse evaluation ways of experts to ensure the accuracy and consistency of ReID. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance.

Position-Aware Self-supervised Representation Learning for Cross-mode Radar Signal RecognitionHongyang Zhang, Haitao Zhang, Yinhao Liu et al.
Radar signal recognition in open electromagnetic environments is challenging due to diverse operating modes and unseen radar types. Existing methods often overlook position relations in pulse sequences, limiting their ability to capture semantic dependencies over time. We propose RadarPos, a position-aware self-supervised framework that leverages pulse-level temporal dynamics without complex augmentations or masking, providing improved position relation modeling over contrastive learning or masked reconstruction. Using this framework, we evaluate cross-mode radar signal recognition under the long-tailed setting to assess adaptability and generalization. Experimental results demonstrate enhanced discriminability and robustness, highlighting practical applicability in real-world electromagnetic environments.

GeoLink: A 3D-Aware Framework Towards Better Generalization in Cross-View Geo-LocalizationHongyang Zhang, Yinhao Liu, Haitao Zhang et al.
Generalizable cross-view geo-localization aims to match the same location across views in unseen regions and conditions without GPS supervision. Its core difficulty lies in severe semantic inconsistency caused by viewpoint variation and poor generalization under domain shift. Existing methods mainly rely on 2D correspondence, but they are easily distracted by redundant shared information across views, leading to less transferable representations. To address this, we propose GeoLink, a 3D-aware semantic-consistent framework for Generalizable cross-view geo-localization. Specifically, we offline reconstruct scene point clouds from multi-view drone images using VGGT, providing stable structural priors. Based on these 3D anchors, we improve 2D representation learning in two complementary ways. A Geometric-aware Semantic Refinement module mitigates potentially redundant and view-biased dependencies in 2D features under 3D guidance. In addition, a Unified View Relation Distillation module transfers 3D structural relations to 2D features, improving cross-view alignment while preserving a 2D-only inference pipeline. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmarks show that GeoLink consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods and achieves superior generalization across unseen domains and diverse weather environments.

SkyLink: Unifying Street-Satellite Geo-Localization via UAV-Mediated 3D Scene AlignmentHongyang Zhang, Yinhao Liu, Zhenyu Kuang
Cross-view geo-localization aims at establishing location correspondences between different viewpoints. Existing approaches typically learn cross-view correlations through direct feature similarity matching, often overlooking semantic degradation caused by extreme viewpoint disparities. To address this unique problem, we focus on robust feature retrieval under viewpoint variation and propose the novel SkyLink method. We firstly utilize the Google Retrieval Enhancement Module to perform data enhancement on street images, which mitigates the occlusion of the key target due to restricted street viewpoints. The Patch-Aware Feature Aggregation module is further adopted to emphasize multiple local feature aggregations to ensure the consistent feature extraction across viewpoints. Meanwhile, we integrate the 3D scene information constructed from multi-scale UAV images as a bridge between street and satellite viewpoints, and perform feature alignment through self-supervised and cross-view contrastive learning. Experimental results demonstrate robustness and generalization across diverse urban scenarios, which achieve 25.75$\%$ Recall@1 accuracy on University-1652 in the UAVM2025 Challenge. Code will be released at https://github.com/HRT00/CVGL-3D.

Integrating Frequency Guidance into Multi-source Domain Generalization for Bearing Fault DiagnosisXiaotong Tu, Chenyu Ma, Qingyao Wu et al.
Recent generalizable fault diagnosis researches have effectively tackled the distributional shift between unseen working conditions. Most of them mainly focus on learning domain-invariant representation through feature-level methods. However, the increasing numbers of unseen domains may lead to domain-invariant features contain instance-level spurious correlations, which impact the previous models' generalizable ability. To address the limitations, we propose the Fourier-based Augmentation Reconstruction Network, namely FARNet.The methods are motivated by the observation that the Fourier phase component and amplitude component preserve different semantic information of the signals, which can be employed in domain augmentation techniques. The network comprises an amplitude spectrum sub-network and a phase spectrum sub-network, sequentially reducing the discrepancy between the source and target domains. To construct a more robust generalized model, we employ a multi-source domain data augmentation strategy in the frequency domain. Specifically, a Frequency-Spatial Interaction Module (FSIM) is introduced to handle global information and local spatial features, promoting representation learning between the two sub-networks. To refine the decision boundary of our model output compared to conventional triplet loss, we propose a manifold triplet loss to contribute to generalization. Through extensive experiments on the CWRU and SJTU datasets, FARNet demonstrates effective performance and achieves superior results compared to current cross-domain approaches on the benchmarks.
