Few-shot learning addresses the challenge of learning how to address novel tasks given not just limited supervision but limited data as well. An attractive solution is synthetic data generation. However, most such methods are overly…
We propose regression networks for the problem of few-shot classification, where a classifier must generalize to new classes not seen in the training set, given only a small number of examples of each class. In high dimensional embedding…
In Few-Shot Learning (FSL), models are trained to recognise unseen objects from a query set, given a few labelled examples from a support set. In standard FSL, models are evaluated on query instances sampled from the same class distribution…
Few-shot learning aims to recognize new categories using very few labeled samples. Although few-shot learning has witnessed promising development in recent years, most existing methods adopt an average operation to calculate prototypes,…
