论文摘要
基于元学习的现有方法通过从（源域）基本类别的培训任务中学到的元知识来预测（目标域）测试任务的新颖类标签。但是，由于范围内可能存在较大的域差异，大多数现有作品可能无法推广到新颖的类。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了一种新颖的对抗特征增强（AFA）方法，以弥合域间隙，以几次学习。该特征增强旨在通过最大化域差异来模拟分布变化。在对抗训练期间，通过将增强特征（看不见的域）与原始域（可见域）区分开来学习域歧视器，而将域差异最小化以获得最佳特征编码器。所提出的方法是一个插件模块，可以轻松地基于元学习的方式将其集成到现有的几种学习方法中。在九个数据集上进行的广泛实验证明了我们方法对跨域几乎没有射击分类的优势。代码可从https://github.com/youthhoo/afa_for_few_shot_learning获得
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.
