• Abstract: Recent adaptations can boost the low-shot capability of Contrastive Vision-Language Pre-training (CLIP) by effectively facilitating knowledge transfer. However, these adaptation methods are usually operated on the global view of an input image, and thus biased perception of partial local details of the image. To solve this problem, we propose a Visual Content Refinement (VCR) before the adaptation calculation during the test stage. Specifically, we first decompose the test image into different scales to shift the feature extractor's attention to the details of the image. Then, we select the image view with the max prediction margin in each scale to filter out the noisy image views, where the prediction margins are calculated from the pre-trained CLIP model. Finally, we merge the content of the aforementioned selected image views based on their scales to construct a new robust representation. Thus, the merged content can be directly used to help the adapter focus on both global and local parts without any extra training parameters. We apply our method to 3 popular low-shot benchmark tasks with 13 datasets and achieve a significant improvement over state-of-the-art methods. For example, compared to the baseline (Tip-Adapter) on the few-shot classification task, our method achieves about 2\% average improvement for both training-free and training-need settings.

  Contrastive vision-language pre-training, known as CLIP, demonstrates remarkable potential in perceiving open-world visual concepts. Few-shot learning methods based on CLIP typically require offline fine-tuning of the parameters on few-shot samples. We propose the Meta-Adapter, a lightweight residual-style adapter, to refine the CLIP features guided by the few-shot samples in an online manner.
