Visual concept learning from few images
summary
Describes concrete methods: using GAN’s and siamese networks to augment data and verify image pairs, episodic training and meta-learner LSTM that proposes parameter updates, and memory-augmented models that store representations. Reports concrete results: matching networks 98.1% on Omniglot but only ~46–60% on ImageNet mini (one‑/five‑shot), Siamese nets ~92% on Omniglot, and GAN-based hallucination for extra examples. Shows prototypes trained end‑to‑end and evaluation numbers that succeed on synthetic benchmarks but drop on real images.
