Few-shot image classification requires the classifier to robustly cope with unseen classes even if there are only a few samples for each class. Recent advances benefit from the meta-learning process where episodic tasks are formed to train…
Episodic training is a mainstream training strategy for few-shot learning. In few-shot scenarios, however, this strategy is often inferior to some non-episodic training strategy, e. g., Neighbourhood Component Analysis (NCA), which…
Meta-learning and other approaches to few-shot learning are widely studied for image recognition, and are increasingly applied to other vision tasks such as pose estimation and dense prediction. This naturally raises the question of whether…
