• Abstract: Thanks to the availability of powerful computing resources, big data and deep learning algorithms, we have made great progress on computer vision in the last few years. Computer vision systems begin to surpass humans in some tasks, such as object recognition, object detection, face recognition and pose estimation. Lots of computer vision algorithms have been deployed to real world applications and started to improve our life quality. However, big data and labels are not always available. Sometimes we only have very limited labeled data, such as medical images which requires experts to label them. In this paper, we study few shot image classification, in which we only have very few labeled data. Machine learning with little data is a big challenge. To tackle this challenge, we propose two methods and test their effectiveness thoroughly. One method is to augment image features by mixing the style of these images. The second method is applying spatial attention to explore the relations between patches of images. We also find that domain shift is a critical issue in few shot learning when the training domain and testing domain are different. So we propose a more realistic cross-domain few-shot learning with unlabeled data setting, in which some unlabeled data is available in the target domain. We propose two methods in this setting. Our first method transfers the style information of the unlabeled target dataset to the samples in the source dataset and trains a model with stylized images and original images. Our second method proposes a unified framework to fully utilize all the data. Both of our methods surpass the baseline method by a large margin.

  Methods based on priors and deep learning have been proposed to address the task of image dehazing. We propose a novel method of internal and external data augmentation to improve the existing dehazing methodology. Our approach significantly outperforms other advanced methods in dehazing and produces dehazed images that are closest to real haze-free images.

  The goal of few-shot learning is to learn a model that can recognize novel classes based on one or few training data. It is challenging mainly due to two aspects: (1) it lacks good feature representation of novel classes; (2) a few of labeled data could not accurately represent the true data distribution. A novel continual local replacement strategy is proposed to address the data deficiency problem.
