摘要

摘要: 针对小样本学习过程上样本数量不足导致的性能下降问题, 基于原型网络的小样本学习方法通过实现查询样本与支持样本原型特征间的距离度量, 从而达到很好的分类性能. 然而, 这种方法直接将支持集样本均值视为类原型, 在一定程度上加剧了对样本数量稀少情况下的敏感性. 针对此问题, 提出了基于自适应原型特征类矫正的小样本学习方法(Few-shot learning based on class rectification via adaptive prototype features, CRAPF), 通过自适应生成原型特征来缓解模型对数据细微变化的过度响应, 并同步实现类边界的精细化调整. 首先, 使用卷积网络构建自适应原型特征生成模块, 该模块采用非线性映射获取更为稳健的原型特征, 有助于减弱异常值对原型构建的影响. 其次, 通过对原型生成过程的优化, 提升了不同类间原型表示的区分度, 进而强化了原型特征对于类别表征的整体效能. 最后, 在3个广泛使用的基准数据集上的实验结果显示, 该方法提升了小样本学习任务的表现. 例如, 在5类5样本设置下, CRAPF在MiniImageNet和CIFAR-FS上的准确率比其他模型至少提高了2.06% 和2.30%.

Abstract: In response to the performance degradation issue from inadequate sample sizes during few-shot learning, prototypical network-based few-shot learning techniques achieve commendable classification capabilities by measuring the distance metrics between query sample features and the prototype features of support samples. However, this method directly treats the mean of the support set samples as class prototypes, exacerbating sensitivity to scarcity of samples. To counteract this problem, we propose few-shot learning based on class rectification via adaptive prototype features (CRAPF), which adaptively generate prototype features for each class. It mitigates the model's responsiveness to minor data variations and concurrently realizes class rectification. First, we construct an adaptive prototype feature generation module using convolutional neural networks. This module leverages nonlinear mappings to obtain adaptive prototype features, thereby mitigating the impact of outliers on prototype construction. Second, we optimize the prototype generation process, and the discriminative power among prototype representations across distinct classes is heightened. Finally, experiments conducted on three extensively utilized benchmark datasets reveal that this method significantly enhances the performance of few-shot learning tasks. For instance, under the 5-way-5-shot setting, CRAPF outperforms other models on MiniImageNet and CIFAR-FS with an accuracy improvement of at least 2.06% and 2.30%.
