Self-supervised learning (SSL) has shown great potential in learning generalizable representations for graph-structured data. However, existing SSL-based graph pre-training methods largely focus on improving graph representations by learning the structure information based on disturbing or reconstructing graphs, which ignores an important issue: the importance of different nodes in the graph structure may vary. To fill this gap, we propose a Centrality-guided Graph Pre-training (CenPre) framework to integrate the distinct importance of nodes in graph structure into the corresponding representations of nodes based on the centrality in graph theory. In this way, the different roles played by different nodes can be effectively leveraged when learning graph structure. The proposed CenPre contains three modules for node representation pre-training and alignment. The node-level importance learning module fuses the fine-grained node importance into node representation based on degree centrality, allowing the aggregation of node representations with equal/similar importance. The graph-level importance learning module characterizes the importance between all nodes in the graph based on eigenvector centrality, enabling the exploitation of graph-level structure similarities/differences when learning node representation. Finally, a representation alignment module aligns the pre-trained node representation using the original one, essentially allowing graph representations to learn structural information without losing their original semantic information, thereby leading to better graph representations. Extensive experiments on a series of real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed CenPre outperforms the state-of-the-art baselines in the tasks of node classification, link prediction, and graph classification.

Learning Event Completeness for Weakly Supervised Video Anomaly Detection

Yu Wang 0174

Weakly supervised video anomaly detection (WS-VAD) is tasked with pinpointing temporal intervals containing anomalous events within untrimmed videos, utilizing only video-level annotations. However, a significant challenge arises due to the absence of dense frame-level annotations, often leading to incomplete localization in existing WS-VAD methods. To address this issue, we present a novel LEC-VAD, Learning Event Completeness for Weakly Supervised Video Anomaly Detection, which features a dual structure designed to encode both category-aware and category-agnostic semantics between vision and language. Within LEC-VAD, we devise semantic regularities that leverage an anomaly-aware Gaussian mixture to learn precise event boundaries, thereby yielding more complete event instances. Besides, we develop a novel memory bank-based prototype learning mechanism to enrich concise text descriptions associated with anomaly-event categories. This innovation bolsters the text’s expressiveness, which is crucial for advancing WS-VAD. Our LEC-VAD demonstrates remarkable advancements over the current state-of-the-art methods on two benchmark datasets XD-Violence and UCF-Crime.

Enhancing Multi-Label Classification via Dynamic Label-Order Learning

Generative methods tackle Multi-Label Classification (MLC) by autoregressively generating label sequences. These methods excel at modeling label correlations and have achieved outstanding performance. However, a key challenge is determining the order of labels, as empirical findings indicate the significant impact of different orders on model learning and inference. Previous works adopt static label-ordering methods, assigning a unified label order for all samples based on label frequencies or co-occurrences. Nonetheless, such static methods neglect the unique semantics of each sample. More critically, these methods can cause the model to rigidly memorize training order, resulting in missing labels during inference. In light of these limitations, this paper proposes a dynamic label-order learning approach that adaptively learns a label order for each sample. Specifically, our approach adopts a difficulty-prioritized principle and iteratively constructs the label sequence based on the sample s semantics. To reduce the additional cost incurred by label-order learning, we use the same SEQ2SEQ model for label-order learning and MLC learning and introduce a unified loss function for joint optimization. Extensive experiments on public datasets reveal that our approach greatly outperforms previous methods. We will release our code at https: //github.com/KagamiBaka/DLOL.
