abstract

Gradient-based meta-learning techniques are both widely applicable and proficient at solving challenging few-shot learning and fast adaptation problems. However, they have practical difficulties when operating on high-dimensional parameter spaces in extreme low-data regimes. We show that it is possible to bypass these limitations by learning a data-dependent latent generative representation of model parameters, and performing gradient-based meta-learning in this low-dimensional latent space. The resulting approach, latent embedding optimization (LEO), decouples the gradient-based adaptation procedure from the underlying high-dimensional space of model parameters. Our evaluation shows that LEO can achieve state-of-the-art performance on the competitive miniImageNet and tieredImageNet few-shot classification tasks. Further analysis indicates LEO is able to capture uncertainty in the data, and can perform adaptation more effectively by optimizing in latent space.

Few-Shot Video Classification via Temporal Alignment

cs.CV · 2019-06-27 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

TAM aligns query video frames to novel class examples, averages per-frame distances along the path, and uses continuous relaxation for end-to-end few-shot optimization, yielding gains on Kinetics and Something-Something-V2.

MARCO: Navigating the Unseen Space of Semantic Correspondence

cs.CV · 2026-04-20 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

MARCO achieves new state-of-the-art semantic correspondence on SPair-71k, AP-10K and PF-PASCAL by combining coarse-to-fine refinement with self-distillation on DINOv2, delivering larger gains at fine thresholds and on unseen keypoints and categories while using 3x fewer parameters and running 10x更快.
