Standard few-shot benchmarks are often built upon simplifying assumptions on the query sets, which may not always hold in practice. In particular, for each task at testing time, the classes effectively present in the unlabeled query set are…
Overfitting is a significant challenge in Few-Shot Learning (FSL), where models trained on small, variable datasets tend to memorize rather than generalize to unseen tasks. Regularization is crucial in FSL to prevent overfitting and enhance…
