arXiv:2610.37267v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text-based Person Anomaly Search (TPAS) retrieves a target pedestrian using natural-language descriptions of appearance and normal or anomalous behavior. Unlike conventional text-based person retrieval, TPAS must preserve identity cues while distinguishing fine-grained behaviors. It presents two challenges: same-identity, different-behavior hard negatives cause gradient conflict during granular alignment, while strong appearance cues can obscure weak behavioral evidence during aggregation. We propose GradCO (behavior-aware Gradient-Conflict Offloading), comprising three complementary components. Behavior-Aware Mixture-of-Experts (B-MoE) forms appearance, normal-behavior, and anomalous-behavior streams whose roles are learned from retrieval objectives without expert-specific semantic labels. Conflict Offload Learning (COL) uses pair-conditioned offload anchors in similarity computation to reduce the conflicting-gradient burden on the main text representations. Hierarchical Intent Alignment (HIA) aggregates expert similarities and features using query-conditioned weights. Experiments on five TPAS/TIPR benchmarks show GradCO significantly surpasses SOTA methods and validate our design.
