arXiv:2607.00620v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generalized Category Discovery (GCD) aims to recognize known classes while autonomously discovering novel ones in open-world settings. However, current approaches primarily focus on designing clustering objectives, often overlooking a critical bottleneck: standard vision backbones yield high-rank, entangled token representations that are ill-suited for unsupervised discovery of latent concepts and structures. In this paper, we propose Compositional Primitive Fields (CPF-GCD), a novel representation learning framework that reshapes the feature s
