Abstract

Deep learning is widely used in various fields, which is data-driven. Data privacy and expensive data labeling or other questions cause samples absent and data incompleteness. Moreover, small samples cannot accurately represent data distribution, reducing classification performance and generalization ability. Therefore, few-shot learning is defined to achieve fast learning by utilizing a small target samples. This paper systematically summarized the current approaches of few-shot learning, introducing models from the three categories: data augmentation-based, meta-learning based, and transduction graph-based. First, it illustrated the data augmentation-based approaches according to supervised and unsupervised augmentations. Then, it analyzed the meta-learning based approaches from metric learning and parameter optimization. Next, it elaborated transduction graph-based approaches. Eventually, it introduced the commonly few-shot datasets, and analyzed representative few-shot learning models through experiments. In addition, this paper summarized the challenges and the future technological development of few-shot learning.
