Motivation & Contributions Meta-Transfer Learning Hard Task Meta-Batch● Few-shot learning is challenging

due to the lack of training data.● Re-thinking promising methods:○ deep neural networks (DNN)○ transfer learning (pre-train, fine-tune)○ meta-learning (meta gradient descent)

● Problem: “catastrophic forgetting”

● Our solution: Scaling & Shifting (SS)

● Problem: slow meta-training convergence

● Our solution: hard negative task sampling

Detail

Top performance is achieved!

Faster convergence is achieved!

Detail

● miniImageNet dataset

Few-shot CIFAR-100 (FC100) dataset

method backbone 1-shot 5-shot

● Few-shot CIFAR-100 (FC100) datasetmethod backbone 1-shot 5-shot
