Improved Few-Shot Visual Classification

This repository contains source codes for the following papers and thesis:

The code base has been authored by Peyman Bateni, Jarred Barber, Raghav Goyal, Vaden Masrani, Dr. Jan-Willemn van de Meent, Dr. Leonid Sigal and Dr. Frank Wood. The source codes build on the original code base for CNAPS authored by Dr. John Bronskill, Jonathan Gordon, James Reqeima, Dr. Sebastian Nowozin, and Dr. Richard E. Turner. We would like to thank them for their help, support and early sharing of their work. To see the original CNAPS repository, visit https://github.com/cambridge-mlg/cnaps.

Simple CNAPS

Simple CNAPS proposes the use of hierarchically regularized cluster means and covariance estimates within a Mahalanobis-distance based classifer for improved few-shot classification accuracy. This method incorporates said classifier within the same neural adaptive feature extractor as CNAPS. For more details, please refer to our paper on Simple CNAPS: Improved Few-Shot Visual Classification. The source code for this paper has been provided in the simple-cnaps-src directory. To reproduce our results, please refer to the README.md file within that folder.

Transductive CNAPS

Transductive CNAPS extends the Simple CNAPS framework to the transductive few-shot learning setting where all query examples are provided at once. This method uses a two-step transductive task-encoder for adapting the feature extractor as well as a soft k-means cluster refinement procedure, resulting in better test-time accuracy. For additional details, please refer to our paper on Transductive CNAPS: Enhancing Few-Shot Image Classification with Unlabelled Examples. The source code for this work is provided under the transductive-cnaps-src directory. To reproduce our results, please refer to the README.md file within this folder.

Active and Continual Learning

We additionally evaluate both methods within the paradigms of "out of the box" active and continual learning. These settings were first proposed by Requeima et al., and studies how well few-shot classifiers, trained for few-shot learning, can be deployed for active and continual learning without any problem-specific finetuning or training. For additional details on our active and continual learning experiments and algorithms, please refer to our latest paper: Beyond Simple Meta-Learning: Multi-Purpose Models for Multi-Domain, Active and Continual Few-Shot Learning. For code and instructions to reproduce the experiments reported, please refer to the active-learning and continual-learning folders.
