• Authors: Min Zhang and Siteng Huang and Wenbin Li and Donglin Wang
• Abstract summary: We focus on how to learn additional feature representations for few-shot image classification through pretext tasks. This additional knowledge can further improve the performance of few-shot learning. We present a plug-in Hierarchical Tree Structure-aware (HTS) method, which learns the relationship of FSL and pretext tasks.

• Abstract: In this paper, we mainly focus on the problem of how to learn additional feature representations for few-shot image classification through pretext tasks (e.g., rotation or color permutation and so on). This additional knowledge generated by pretext tasks can further improve the performance of few-shot learning (FSL) as it differs from human-annotated supervision (i.e., class labels of FSL tasks). To solve this problem, we present a plug-in Hierarchical Tree Structure-aware (HTS) method, which not only learns the relationship of FSL and pretext tasks, but more importantly, can adaptively select and aggregate feature representations generated by pretext tasks to maximize the performance of FSL tasks. A hierarchical tree constructing component and a gated selection aggregating component is introduced to construct the tree structure and find richer transferable knowledge that can rapidly adapt to novel classes with a few labeled images. Extensive experiments show that our HTS can significantly enhance multiple few-shot methods to achieve new state-of-the-art performance on four benchmark datasets.

  When classifying categories at different hierarchy levels, traditional uni-modal approaches focus primarily on image features, revealing limitations in complex scenarios. Recent studies integrating Vision-Language Models (VLMs) with class hierarchies have shown promise, yet they fall short of fully exploiting the hierarchical relationships. We propose a novel framework that effectively combines CLIP with a deeper exploitation of the Hierarchical class structure via Graph representation learning.

  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.

  hierarchical semantic segmentation (HSS) aims at structured, pixel-wise description of visual observation in terms of a class hierarchy. HSSN casts HSS as a pixel-wise multi-label classification task, only bringing minimal architecture change to current segmentation models. With hierarchy-induced margin constraints, HSSN reshapes the pixel embedding space, so as to generate well-structured pixel representations.

  We propose a Multi-level Second-order (MlSo) few-shot learning network for supervised or unsupervised few-shot image classification and few-shot action recognition. We leverage so-called power-normalized second-order base learner streams combined with features that express multiple levels of visual abstraction. We demonstrate respectable results on standard datasets such as Omniglot, mini-ImageNet, tiered-ImageNet, Open MIC, fine-grained datasets such as CUB Birds, Stanford Dogs and Cars, and action recognition datasets such as HMDB51, UCF101, and mini-MIT.
