We present an image preprocessing technique capable of improving the performance of few-shot classifiers on abstract visual reasoning tasks. Many visual reasoning tasks with abstract features are easy for humans to learn with few examples but very difficult for computer vision approaches with the same number of samples, despite the ability for deep learning models to learn abstract features. Same-different (SD) problems represent a type of visual reasoning task requiring knowledge of pattern repetition within individual images, and modern computer vision approaches have largely faltered on these classification problems, even when provided with vast amounts of training data. We propose a simple method for solving these problems based on the insight that removing peaks from the amplitude spectrum of an image is capable of emphasizing the unique parts of the image. When combined with several classifiers, our method performs well on the SD SVRT tasks with few-shot learning, improving upon the best comparable results on all tasks, with average absolute accuracy increases nearly 40% for some classifiers. In particular, we find that combining Relational Networks with this image preprocessing approach improves their performance from chance-level to over 90% accuracy on several SD tasks.

A disentangled representation encodes information about the salient factors of variation in the data independently. Although it is often argued that this representational format is useful in learning to solve many real-world down-stream tasks, there
is little empirical evidence that supports this claim. In this paper, we conduct a large-scale study that investigates whether disentangled representations are more suitable for abstract reasoning tasks. Using two new tasks similar to Ravens Progressive Matrices, we evaluate the usefulness of the representations learned by 360 state-of-the-art unsupervised disentanglement models. Based on these representations, we train 3600 abstract reasoning models and observe that disentangled representations do in fact lead to better down-stream performance. In particular, they enable quicker learning using fewer samples.
Existing approaches to few-shot learning deal with tasks that have persistent, rigid notions of classes. Typically, the learner observes data only from a fixed number of classes at training time and is asked to generalize to a new set of classes at t
est time. Two examples from the same class would always be assigned the same labels in any episode. In this work, we consider a realistic setting where the similarities between examples can change from episode to episode depending on the task context, which is not given to the learner. We define new benchmark datasets for this flexible few-shot scenario, where the tasks are based on images of faces (Celeb-A), shoes (Zappos50K), and general objects (ImageNet-with-Attributes). While classification baselines and episodic approaches learn representations that work well for standard few-shot learning, they suffer in our flexible tasks as novel similarity definitions arise during testing. We propose to build upon recent contrastive unsupervised learning techniques and use a combination of instance and class invariance learning, aiming to obtain general and flexible features. We find that our approach performs strongly on our new flexible few-shot learning benchmarks, demonstrating that unsupervised learning obtains more generalizable representations.
Machine learning classifiers are often trained to recognize a set of pre-defined classes. However, in many applications, it is often desirable to have the flexibility of learning additional concepts, with limited data and without re-training on the f
ull training set. This paper addresses this problem, incremental few-shot learning, where a regular classification network has already been trained to recognize a set of base classes, and several extra novel classes are being considered, each with only a few labeled examples. After learning the novel classes, the model is then evaluated on the overall classification performance on both base and novel classes. To this end, we propose a meta-learning model, the Attention Attractor Network, which regularizes the learning of novel classes. In each episode, we train a set of new weights to recognize novel classes until they converge, and we show that the technique of recurrent back-propagation can back-propagate through the optimization process and facilitate the learning of these parameters. We demonstrate that the learned attractor network can help recognize novel classes while remembering old classes without the need to review the original training set, outperforming various baselines.
We propose a transductive Laplacian-regularized inference for few-shot tasks. Given any feature embedding learned from the base classes, we minimize a quadratic binary-assignment function containing two terms: (1) a unary term assigning query samples
to the nearest class prototype, and (2) a pairwise Laplacian term encouraging nearby query samples to have consistent label assignments. Our transductive inference does not re-train the base model, and can be viewed as a graph clustering of the query set, subject to supervision constraints from the support set. We derive a computationally efficient bound optimizer of a relaxation of our function, which computes independent (parallel) updates for each query sample, while guaranteeing convergence. Following a simple cross-entropy training on the base classes, and without complex meta-learning strategies, we conducted comprehensive experiments over five few-shot learning benchmarks. Our LaplacianShot consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods by significant margins across different models, settings, and data sets. Furthermore, our transductive inference is very fast, with computational times that are close to inductive inference, and can be used for large-scale few-shot tasks.
In this article, we consider the problem of few-shot learning for classification. We assume a network trained for base categories with a large number of training examples, and we aim to add novel categories to it that have only a few, e.g., one or fi
ve, training examples. This is a challenging scenario because: 1) high performance is required in both the base and novel categories; and 2) training the network for the new categories with a few training examples can contaminate the feature space trained well for the base categories. To address these challenges, we propose two geometric constraints to fine-tune the network with a few training examples. The first constraint enables features of the novel categories to cluster near the category weights, and the second maintains the weights of the novel categories far from the weights of the base categories. By applying the proposed constraints, we extract discriminative features for the novel categories while preserving the feature space learned for the base categories. Using public data sets for few-shot learning that are subsets of ImageNet, we demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms prevalent methods by a large margin.
