Few-shot learning aims to train a classifier that can generalize well when just a small number of labeled samples per class are given. We introduce Transductive Maximum Margin Classifier (TMMC) for few-shot learning. The basic idea of the classical maximum margin classifier is to solve an optimal prediction function that the corresponding separating hyperplane can correctly divide the training data and the resulting classifier has the largest geometric margin. In few-shot learning scenarios, the training samples are scarce, not enough to find a separating hyperplane with good generalization ability on unseen data. TMMC is constructed using a mixture of the labeled support set and the unlabeled query set in a given task. The unlabeled samples in the query set can adjust the separating hyperplane so that the prediction function is optimal on both the labeled and unlabeled samples. Furthermore, we leverage an efficient and effective quasi-Newton algorithm, the L-BFGS method to optimize TMMC. Experimental results on three standard few-shot learning benchmarks including miniImagenet, tieredImagenet and CUB suggest that our TMMC achieves state-of-the-art accuracies.

Few-shot learning (FSL) has attracted increasing attention in recent years but remains challenging, due to the intrinsic difficulty in learning to generalize from a few examples. This paper proposes an adaptive margin principle to improve the general
ization ability of metric-based meta-learning approaches for few-shot learning problems. Specifically, we first develop a class-relevant additive margin loss, where semantic similarity between each pair of classes is considered to separate samples in the feature embedding space from similar classes. Further, we incorporate the semantic context among all classes in a sampled training task and develop a task-relevant additive margin loss to better distinguish samples from different classes. Our adaptive margin method can be easily extended to a more realistic generalized FSL setting. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method can boost the performance of current metric-based meta-learning approaches, under both the standard FSL and generalized FSL settings.
Recently, the transductive graph-based methods have achieved great success in the few-shot classification task. However, most existing methods ignore exploring the class-level knowledge that can be easily learned by humans from just a handful of samp
les. In this paper, we propose an Explicit Class Knowledge Propagation Network (ECKPN), which is composed of the comparison, squeeze and calibration modules, to address this problem. Specifically, we first employ the comparison module to explore the pairwise sample relations to learn rich sample representations in the instance-level graph. Then, we squeeze the instance-level graph to generate the class-level graph, which can help obtain the class-level visual knowledge and facilitate modeling the relations of different classes. Next, the calibration module is adopted to characterize the relations of the classes explicitly to obtain the more discriminative class-level knowledge representations. Finally, we combine the class-level knowledge with the instance-level sample representations to guide the inference of the query samples. We conduct extensive experiments on four few-shot classification benchmarks, and the experimental results show that the proposed ECKPN significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.
Few-shot object detection has made substantial progressby representing novel class objects using the feature representation learned upon a set of base class objects. However,an implicit contradiction between novel class classification and representat
ion is unfortunately ignored. On the one hand, to achieve accurate novel class classification, the distributions of either two base classes must be far away fromeach other (max-margin). On the other hand, to precisely represent novel classes, the distributions of base classes should be close to each other to reduce the intra-class distance of novel classes (min-margin). In this paper, we propose a class margin equilibrium (CME) approach, with the aim to optimize both feature space partition and novel class reconstruction in a systematic way. CME first converts the few-shot detection problem to the few-shot classification problem by using a fully connected layer to decouple localization features. CME then reserves adequate margin space for novel classes by introducing simple-yet-effective class margin loss during feature learning. Finally, CME pursues margin equilibrium by disturbing the features of novel class instances in an adversarial min-max fashion. Experiments on Pascal VOC and MS-COCO datasets show that CME significantly improves upon two baseline detectors (up to $3sim 5%$ in average), achieving state-of-the-art performance.

Few-shot learning, which aims at extracting new concepts rapidly from extremely few examples of novel classes, has been featured into the meta-learning paradigm recently. Yet, the key challenge of how to learn a generalizable classifier with the capa
bility of adapting to specific tasks with severely limited data still remains in this domain. To this end, we propose a Transductive Episodic-wise Adaptive Metric (TEAM) framework for few-shot learning, by integrating the meta-learning paradigm with both deep metric learning and transductive inference. With exploring the pairwise constraints and regularization prior within each task, we explicitly formulate the adaptation procedure into a standard semi-definite programming problem. By solving the problem with its closed-form solution on the fly with the setup of transduction, our approach efficiently tailors an episodic-wise metric for each task to adapt all features from a shared task-agnostic embedding space into a more discriminative task-specific metric space. Moreover, we further leverage an attention-based bi-directional similarity strategy for extracting the more robust relationship between queries and prototypes. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets show that our framework is superior to other existing approaches and achieves the state-of-the-art performance in the few-shot literature.
Endoscopy is a widely used imaging modality to diagnose and treat diseases in hollow organs as for example the gastrointestinal tract, the kidney and the liver. However, due to varied modalities and use of different imaging protocols at various clini
cal centers impose significant challenges when generalising deep learning models. Moreover, the assembly of large datasets from different clinical centers can introduce a huge label bias that renders any learnt model unusable. Also, when using new modality or presence of images with rare patterns, a bulk amount of similar image data and their corresponding labels are required for training these models. In this work, we propose to use a few-shot learning approach that requires less training data and can be used to predict label classes of test samples from an unseen dataset. We propose a novel additive angular margin metric in the framework of prototypical network in few-shot learning setting. We compare our approach to the several established methods on a large cohort of multi-center, multi-organ, and multi-modal endoscopy data. The proposed algorithm outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods.
