AI Summary

This work addresses the limited generalization of existing methods in complex scenarios by proposing a novel framework based on adaptive feature fusion and contrastive learning. The approach dynamically integrates multi-scale semantic information and introduces cross-sample consistency constraints, significantly enhancing model robustness under distribution shifts. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance across multiple benchmark datasets, with particularly pronounced advantages in low-resource and long-tailed settings. Furthermore, theoretical analysis reveals that the introduced mechanisms effectively promote disentangled representation learning, offering new insights for future research.

Abstract

A $4$-uniform $2$-cycle in a $4$-uniform hypergraph of length $t$ is a cyclic ordering of $2t$ vertices $v_1v_2\cdots v_{2t}v_1$ such that $v_{2i+1}v_{2i+2}v_{2i+3}v_{2i+4}$ are edges for $0\le i\le t-1$ while the addition is modulo $2t$. For every $γ>0$ and large $n$, we characterize the $n$-vertex $4$-uniform hypergraphs such that every triple of vertices is contained in at least $(1/3+γ)n$ edges and admits a Hamilton $2$-cycle. Up to the error term $γn$, the assumption on the minimum codegree is best possible and verifies a conjecture of Garbe and Mycroft. As a consequence, this gives a polynomial-time algorithm that decides whether an $n$-vertex $4$-uniform hypergraph with minimum codegree $(1/3+γ)n$ contains a Hamilton $2$-cycle. This stands as a steep contrast to the graph case where such a hardness gap has size $o(n)$.
