Most of the existing approaches focus on specific visual tasks while ignoring the relations between them. Estimating task relation sheds light on the learning of high-order semantic concepts, e.g., transfer learning. How to reveal the…
Recent advances in meta-learning has led to remarkable performances on several few-shot learning benchmarks. However, such success often ignores the similarity between training and testing tasks, resulting in a potential bias evaluation.…
Learning from multiple related tasks by knowledge sharing and transfer has become increasingly relevant over the last two decades. In order to successfully transfer information from one task to another, it is critical to understand the…
Language models have recently achieved strong performance across a wide range of NLP benchmarks. However, unlike benchmarks, real world tasks are often poorly specified, and agents must deduce the user's intended behavior from a combination…
The similarity between objects is significant in a broad range of areas. While similarity can be measured using off-the-shelf distance functions, they may fail to capture the inherent meaning of similarity, which tends to depend on the…
