• Abstract: Existing methods based on meta-learning predict novel-class labels for (target domain) testing tasks via meta knowledge learned from (source domain) training tasks of base classes. However, most existing works may fail to generalize to novel classes due to the probably large domain discrepancy across domains. To address this issue, we propose a novel adversarial feature augmentation (AFA) method to bridge the domain gap in few-shot learning. The feature augmentation is designed to simulate distribution variations by maximizing the domain discrepancy. During adversarial training, the domain discriminator is learned by distinguishing the augmented features (unseen domain) from the original ones (seen domain), while the domain discrepancy is minimized to obtain the optimal feature encoder. The proposed method is a plug-and-play module that can be easily integrated into existing few-shot learning methods based on meta-learning. Extensive experiments on nine datasets demonstrate the superiority of our method for cross-domain few-shot classification compared with the state of the art.

  Few-shot video action recognition is an effective approach to recognizing new categories with only a few labeled examples.

  Visual domain adaptation involves learning to classify images from a target visual domain using labels available in a different source domain.

Our Pretraining and Consistency (PAC) approach, can achieve state of the art accuracy on this semi-supervised domain adaptation task, surpassing multiple adversarial domain alignment methods, across multiple datasets.
