Progressive Reasoning with Primitive Correction for Compositional Zero-Shot Learning 文章

arXiv:2607.05911v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Compositional Zero-Shot Learning (CZSL) aims to combine known attributes and objects as primitives for recognizing previously unseen attribute-object pairs. Prior works either predict attributes and objects independently, missing their strong contextual dependency, or use unidirectional conditional modeling (e.g., object-guided attribute prediction), which is prone to error propagation. We propose PRPC, a Progressive Reasoning framework with Primitive Correction, which explicitly models the bidirectional dependency between attributes and objects via step-wise inference. PRPC performs mutual correction of primitives to suppress prediction errors in earlier steps. Specifically, we formulate CZSL as structured, Q&A-style Chain-of-Thought reasoning process and constrain the MLLM to follow predefined semantic steps to generate intermediate decisions.
