Learning by Analogy: A Causal Framework for Compositional Generalization

Lingjing Kong, Shaoan Xie, Yang Jiao, Yetian Chen, Yanhui Guo, Simone Shao, Yan Gao, Guangyi Chen, Kun Zhang

展开摘要

Compositional generalization -- the ability to understand and generate novel combinations of learned concepts -- enables models to extend their capabilities beyond limited experiences. While effective, the data structures and principles that enable this crucial capability remain poorly understood. We propose that compositional generalization fundamentally requires decomposing high-level concepts into basic, low-level concepts that can be recombined across similar contexts, similar to how humans draw analogies between concepts. For example, someone who has never seen a peacock eating rice can envision this scene by relating it to their previous observations of a chicken eating rice.In this work, we formalize these intuitive processes using principles of causal modularity and minimal changes. We introduce a hierarchical data-generating process that naturally encodes different levels of concepts and their interaction mechanisms. Theoretically, we demonstrate that this approach enables compositional generalization supporting complex relations between composed concepts, advancing beyond prior work that assumes simpler interactions like additive effects. Critically, we also prove that this latent hierarchical structure is provably recoverable (identifiable) from observable data like text-image pairs, a necessary step for learning such a generative process. To validate our theory, we apply insights from our theoretical framework and achieve significant improvements on benchmark datasets.

Bridge: Basis-Driven Causal Inference Marries VFMs for Domain Generalization

Mingbo Hong, Feng Liu, Caroline Gevaert, George Vosselman, Hao Cheng

展开摘要

Detectors often suffer from degraded performance, primarily due to the distributional gap between the source and target domains. This issue is especially evident in single-source domains with limited data, as models tend to rely on confounders (e.g., illumination, co-occurrence, and style) from the source domain, leading to spurious correlations that hinder generalization. To this end, this paper proposes a novel Basis-driven framework for domain generalization, namely Bridge, that incorporates causal inference into object detection. By learning the low-rank bases for front-door adjustment, Bridge blocks confounders' effects to mitigate spurious correlations, while simultaneously refining representations by filtering redundant and task-irrelevant components.Bridge can be seamlessly integrated with both discriminative (e.g., DINOv2/3, SAM) and generative (e.g., Stable Diffusion) Vision Foundation Models (VFMs). Extensive experiments across multiple domain generalization object detection datasets, i.e., Cross-Camera, Adverse Weather, Real-to-Artistic, Diverse Weather Datasets, and Diverse Weather DroneVehicle (our newly augmented real-world UAV-based benchmark), underscore the superiority of our proposed method over previous state-of-the-art approaches.

GeneVAR: Causal MeanFlow for Autoregressive Gene-to-WSI Tile Synthesis

Jianwei Zhao, Fan Yang, Xin Li, Qiang Zhai, Ao Luo, Ziqi Ren, Zhicheng Jiao, Hong Cheng

展开摘要

Understanding how transcriptomic programs shape tissue morphology remains a central challenge in computational pathology. Gene-to-WSI tile synthesis offers a principled generative framework to translate molecular profiles into histological images. However, most existing methods compress RNA-Seq into a single global embedding injected once at initialization, an oversimplified design that weakens transcriptomic signals and induces spurious, non-biological associations. We present GeneVAR, an Autoregressive Gene-to-WSI model that reformulates synthesis as an iterative, coarse-to-fine generative process. At its core is a novel Causal MeanFlow module, which leverages counterfactual interventions to suppress non-biological variations (e.g., staining or contrast artifacts) and enforce an artifact-invariant generation process. Concurrently, it reinforces transcriptome-informed guidance across multiple stages, preserving biological fidelity throughout the generative trajectory. Combined with a b-VAE for compact gene embeddings and a multi-scale vector quantizer for discrete morphology representation, GeneVAR generates H&E-stained WSI tiles that are both visually realistic and transcriptomically faithful. Extensive experiments across five TCGA cancer benchmarks demonstrate consistent state-of-the-art performance, surpassing prior methods in both generative fidelity and downstream classification accuracy.

Breaking Spurious Correlations: Uncertainty-Driven Causal Transformers for AU Detection

Yuru wang, Yue Zhou

展开摘要

Facial Action Unit (AU) detection suffers from limited annotated data, severe class imbalance, label noise, and confounding biases, which often lead to overfitting and degraded performance. We propose an Uncertainty-Driven Causal Transformer (UDCT) framework for robust AU detection by jointly modeling uncertainty and causal intervention. Specifically, we parameterize Transformer attention weights as Gaussian distributions to capture robust AU dependencies while explicitly modeling uncertainty in attention. We further introduce an uncertainty-aware loss reweighting strategy to alleviate the effects of class imbalance and label noise during training. In addition, we incorporate a causal intervention module to suppress confounder-dependent AU associations and encourage the model to focus on more stable and less biased AU relationships. Experiments on BP4D and DISFA demonstrate that UDCT achieves competitive performance with stronger robustness under noisy, imbalanced, and distribution-shifted settings.
