Abstract

How to learn and identify new categories from a small number of training samples is a challenging problem for deep neural networks. For how to solve the problem of few-shot learning, this paper comprehensively summarized the existing few-shot learning methods based on deep neural networks, which covered various aspects such as models used in the methods, datasets and evaluation results. Specifically, for the few-shot learning method based on deep neural network, this paper divided it into four categories, named data enhancement method, migration learning method, metric learning method and meta-learning method. For each category, this paper further divided it into sub-categories and conducted a series of comparisons between each category and method to show the pros and cons of the various methods and their respective characteristics. Finally, the paper highlighted the limitations of existing methods and pointed to future research directions in the field of few-shot learning.
