To learn models or features that generalize across tasks and domains is one of the grand goals of machine learning. In this paper, we propose to use cross-domain, cross-task data as validation objective for hyper-parameter optimization (HPO) to improve on this goal. Given a rich enough search space, optimization of hyper-parameters learn features that maximize validation performance and, due to the objective, generalize across tasks and domains. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this strategy on few-shot image classification within and across domains. The learned features outperform all previous few-shot and meta-learning approaches.

  1. Few-shot Classification as Multi-instance Verification: Effective Backbone-agnostic Transfer across Domains

    cs.CV 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A test-time trained 'MIV-head' turns few-shot classification into a series of multi-instance verification tasks and reaches accuracy competitive with adapter-based fine-tuning on frozen backbones.

  2. Reliable Few-shot Learning under Dual Noises

    cs.CV 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    DETA++ combines region-weighting, noise-entropy maximization, memory-bank prototypes, and intra-class region swapping to handle both in-distribution and out-of-distribution noise in few-shot learning.
