• Authors: Michalis Lazarou, Tania Stathaki, Yannis Avrithis
• Abstract summary: Few-shot learning amounts to learning representations and acquiring knowledge such that novel tasks may be solved with both supervision and data being limited. We introduce a new algorithm that leverages the manifold structure of the labeled and unlabeled data distribution to predict pseudo-labels. Our solution surpasses or matches the state of the art results on four benchmark datasets.

• Abstract: Few-shot learning amounts to learning representations and acquiring knowledge such that novel tasks may be solved with both supervision and data being limited. Improved performance is possible by transductive inference, where the entire test set is available concurrently, and semi-supervised learning, where more unlabeled data is available. Focusing on these two settings, we introduce a new algorithm that leverages the manifold structure of the labeled and unlabeled data distribution to predict pseudo-labels, while balancing over classes and using the loss value distribution of a limited-capacity classifier to select the cleanest labels, iteratively improving the quality of pseudo-labels. Our solution surpasses or matches the state of the art results on four benchmark datasets, namely miniImageNet, tieredImageNet, CUB and CIFAR-FS, while being robust over feature space pre-processing and the quantity of available data.

  Semi-supervised object detection (SSOD) has made significant progress with the development of pseudo-label-based end-to-end methods. Many methods face challenges due to class imbalance, which hinders the effectiveness of the pseudo-label generator. In this paper, we examine the root causes of low-quality pseudo-labels and present novel learning mechanisms to improve the label generation quality.

  We study the use of pseudolabels, i.e., labels for unlabeled data, to enhance CLIP via prompt tuning. We observe that learning paradigms such as semi-supervised, transductive zero-shot, and unsupervised learning can all be seen as optimizing the same loss function. We find that (1) unexplored prompt tuning strategies that iteratively refine pseudolabels consistently improve CLIP accuracy, by 19.5 points in semi-supervised learning, by 28.4 points in transductive zero-shot learning, and by 15.2 points in unsupervised learning.
