Observed writing choices, not acceptance rules. This study examines the inspected manuscript version. It does not establish why the paper was accepted or that its presentation choices should be copied unchanged.

Figure, table and section ledger

Editorial contribution type: Architecture & representation (primary).

Layout extraction, not a required paper template. Counts are distinct caption labels; a multi-panel figure counts once. Section spans are estimated from heading positions, including floats and whitespace. Method and limitations.

Extraction notes: No attached appendix boundary detected. Zero means no recognized caption, not independently verified absence.

Section-by-section lengths and source pages

The title/abstract/front matter precede the first numbered heading. A span ends at the next detected top-level heading, not at the last sentence; end-page whitespace is included. References and statements are listed separately. These are not measurements of text-only or artwork area.

Separate source files—excluded from canonical-PDF totals

A separate author version may repeat main text and references. Whole-file lengths and counts are not extra appendix material and are never added to the canonical PDF totals. Read the study's source scope for which sections received substantive reading versus layout inspection.

Separate PDF (or ZIP containing it): whole-file layout of 5 physical pages; 4 detected figures and 4 tables. These may include overlapping main-text material.

Located appendix only: starts on physical p.1; ≈ 4.93 page-equivalents, 4 figure labels and 4 table labels. This interval is distinct from the whole file.

Argument and organization

1. Analogy and task definition

   Use an analogy illustration, then define the known/unknown category setting explicitly.

2. Two-stage learning and transfer

   Separate generator training from discovery training, then compare multiple host methods and class-count assumptions.

Problem, claim and contribution

The human-learning analogy is followed by a concrete known/unknown class formulation, grounding the metaphor in a defined learning task.

Argument and section order

ATCG training builds a knowledge base and pseudo-discovery episodes; GCD training then consumes generated embeddings, with separate objectives.

Sections 3.3–3.4, PDF p. 4 · Main paper · Additional source 2

Figures, captions and visual explanation

The method diagrams separate two training stages, and the generator diagram explicitly promises input/output tensor structure rather than only module names.

Tables, comparisons and evidence

Table 2 separates known versus unknown category-count settings and old/new/all accuracies, while pairing each host method with its augmented version.

Appendix and reproducibility

Training traces and cross-backbone tests complement class-split details and measured generator-training cost; limitations qualify the fixed text-side choices.

Supplement Sections 7–11, pp. 1–5 · Main paper · Additional source 2

Clarity and writing conventions

Run-in labels describe knowledge-base construction, analogical training and embedding fusion before symbols are used, reducing ambiguity in the two-stage narrative.

What to reuse—and what not to infer

Transferable lesson: Use analogies to motivate, not replace, the task definition. For discovery methods, expose known/new splits and whether the true class count is supplied.

Boundary: The human analogy is not behavioral evidence. Average gains depend on dataset grouping and class-count assumptions, so retain those distinctions when summarizing.

Apply this lesson using the argument and evidence worksheet.
