• Abstract summary: We will showcase our results from testing various state-of-the-art transfer learning weights and architectures versus similar state-of-the-art works in the meta-learning field for image classification utilizing Model-Agnostic Meta Learning (MAML) Our results show that both practices provide adequate performance when the dataset is sufficiently large, but that they both also struggle when data sparsity is introduced to maintain sufficient performance.

• Abstract: The use of meta-learning and transfer learning in the task of few-shot image classification is a well researched area with many papers showcasing the advantages of transfer learning over meta-learning in cases where data is plentiful and there is no major limitations to computational resources. In this paper we will showcase our experimental results from testing various state-of-the-art transfer learning weights and architectures versus similar state-of-the-art works in the meta-learning field for image classification utilizing Model-Agnostic Meta Learning (MAML). Our results show that both practices provide adequate performance when the dataset is sufficiently large, but that they both also struggle when data sparsity is introduced to maintain sufficient performance. This problem is moderately reduced with the use of image augmentation and the fine-tuning of hyperparameters. In this paper we will discuss: (1) our process of developing a robust multi-class convolutional neural network (CNN) for the task of few-shot image classification, (2) demonstrate that transfer learning is the superior method of helping create an image classification model when the dataset is large and (3) that MAML outperforms transfer learning in the case where data is very limited.

  A prevalent strategy to bolster image classification performance is through augmenting the training set with synthetic images generated by T2I models. In this study, we scrutinize the shortcomings of both current generative and conventional data augmentation techniques. We introduce an innovative inter-class data augmentation method known as Diff-Mix, which enriches the dataset by performing image translations between classes.

  Self-supervised learning works by using a pretext task which will be trained on the model before being applied to a specific task. Previous studies have only used one type of transformation as a pretext task. This raises the question of how it affects if more than one pretext task is used and to use a gating network to combine all pretext tasks.

  We compare transfer learning, meta-learning and contrastive learning against reference Machine Learning (ML) tree-based and monolithic DL models. We show that (i) using large datasets we can obtain more general representations, (ii) contrastive learning is the best methodology. While ML tree-based cannot handle large tasks but fits well small tasks, by means of reusing learned representations, DL methods are reaching tree-based models performance also for small tasks.

• Memory Efficient Meta-Learning with Large Images [62.70515410249566]
  Meta learning approaches to few-shot classification are computationally efficient at test time requiring just a few optimization steps or single forward pass to learn a new task. This limitation arises because a task's entire support set, which can contain up to 1000 images, must be processed before an optimization step can be taken. We propose LITE, a general and memory efficient episodic training scheme that enables meta-training on large tasks composed of large images on a single GPU.
