• Abstract: Few-shot learning is challenging due to the limited data and labels. Existing algorithms usually resolve this problem by pre-training the model with a considerable amount of annotated data which shares knowledge with the target domain. Nevertheless, large quantities of homogenous data samples are not always available. To tackle this issue, we develop a framework that enables the model to surf the Internet, which implies that the model can collect and annotate data without manual effort. Since the online data is virtually limitless and continues to be generated, the model can thus be empowered to constantly obtain up-to-date knowledge from the Internet. Additionally, we observe that the generalization ability of the learned representation is crucial for self-supervised learning. To present its importance, a naive yet efficient normalization strategy is proposed. Consequentially, this strategy boosts the accuracy of the model significantly (20.46% at most). We demonstrate the superiority of the proposed framework with experiments on miniImageNet, tieredImageNet and Omniglot. The results indicate that our method has surpassed previous unsupervised counterparts by a large margin (more than 10%) and obtained performance comparable with the supervised ones.

  Detection of malicious behavior in a large network is a challenging problem for machine learning in computer security. Current cybersec-tailored approaches are still limited in expressivity, and methods successful in other domains do not scale well for large volumes of data. This work proposes a new perspective for learning from graph data that is modeling network entity interactions as a large heterogeneous graph.

  Large pre-trained models can dramatically reduce the amount of task-specific data required to solve a problem, but they often fail to capture domain-specific nuances out of the box. This paper shows how to leverage recent advances in NLP and multi-modal learning to augment a pre-trained model with search engine retrieval.

  Current state-of-the-art approaches require a large ensemble of as many as 300,000 models to accurately attribute model predictions. In this work, we focus on a minimalist baseline, utilizing the feature space of a backbone pretrained via self-supervised learning to perform data attribution. Our method is model-agnostic and scales easily to large datasets.
