• Abstract: Few-shot learning (FSL) aims to learn new categories with a few visual samples per class. Few-shot class representations are often biased due to data scarcity. To mitigate this issue, we propose to generate visual samples based on semantic embeddings using a conditional variational autoencoder (CVAE) model. We train this CVAE model on base classes and use it to generate features for novel classes. More importantly, we guide this VAE to strictly generate representative samples by removing non-representative samples from the base training set when training the CVAE model. We show that this training scheme enhances the representativeness of the generated samples and therefore, improves the few-shot classification results. Experimental results show that our method improves three FSL baseline methods by substantial margins, achieving state-of-the-art few-shot classification performance on miniImageNet and tieredImageNet datasets for both 1-shot and 5-shot settings.

  We focus on the task of image segmentation, which is traditionally solved by training models on closed-vocabulary datasets. We leverage different and relatively small-sized, open-source foundation models for zero-shot open-vocabulary segmentation. Our approach (dubbed FreeSeg-Diff), which does not rely on any training, outperforms many training-based approaches on both Pascal VOC and COCO datasets.

  Few-shot-learning (FSL) commonly requires a model to identify images (queries) that belong to classes unseen during training. We generate additional test-class samples by combining original samples with suitable train-class samples via a generative image combiner. We obtain averaged features via an augmentor, which leads to more typical representations through the averaging.

  Few-shot image classification aims to learn an image classifier using only a small set of labeled examples per class.

We validate our method in ten different benchmarks, consistently outperforming baselines and establishing a new state-of-the-art for few-shot classification.

  We introduce a novel Referring Diffusional segmentor (Ref-Diff) for referring image segmentation. We demonstrate that without a proposal generator, a generative model alone can achieve comparable performance to existing SOTA weakly-supervised models. This indicates that generative models are also beneficial for this task and can complement discriminative models for better referring segmentation.

We provide three different algorithms for GANs that differ on how the samples to be forgotten are described. Our algorithms are capable of forgetting data while retaining high generation quality at a fraction of the cost of full re-training.

  This paper proposes an interpretable neural-based framework, namely textitDual Prototypical Shapelet Networks (DPSN) for few-shot time-series classification. DPSN interprets the model from dual granularity: 1) global overview using representative time series samples, and 2) local highlights using discriminative shapelets. We have derived 18 few-shot TSC datasets from public benchmark datasets and evaluated the proposed method by comparing with baselines.
