Claims

C1strongest claim

Experiments on conventional, open-vocabulary, and panoptic SGG benchmarks show that our method consistently improves standard recall-based metrics, unseen predicate generalization, and counterfactual grounding quality. These results demonstrate that moving from relation generation to relation verification leads to more reliable, interpretable, and evidence-grounded scene graphs.

C2weakest assumption

The assumption that decomposing predicate phrases into soft evidence bases such as support, contact, containment, depth and state, combined with a counterfactual verifier that tests whether the relation score decreases when necessary evidence is removed, accurately isolates true visual support without missing confounding factors or introducing new biases from the removal process.

C3one line summary

CAGE-SGG improves open-vocabulary scene graph generation by verifying candidate relations through counterfactual removal of specific visual evidence rather than relying on language priors.
