The paper introduces Spectral Transductive Refinement (STR), a training‑free method that refines class prototypes at test time using the geometry of a joint k‑nearest‑neighbour graph and a normalized‑Laplacian spectral coordinate system. STR operates solely on frozen visual embeddings, iteratively updating pseudo‑labelled queries to improve one‑shot and few‑shot classification under domain shift. Experiments on ResNet‑18 and ResNet‑10 backbones show STR outperforms single‑prototype baselines and rivals meta‑trained cross‑domain few‑shot methods, achieving the best 1‑shot average across eight target domains.

The paper proposes treating few-shot classification as a series of multiple instance verification (MIV) tasks, enabling effective transfer across domains without fine-tuning the backbone. It introduces the MIV-head, a backbone‑agnostic, computationally efficient classification head that achieves competitive accuracy on cross‑domain few‑shot image classification using frozen, pre‑trained backbones. Experiments on an extended Meta‑Dataset benchmark show that the MIV-head outperforms state‑of‑the‑art adapter methods while incurring lower adaptation cost.

Cross-domain Few-shot Segmentation (CD-FSS) aims to transfer knowledge learned from source domain to distinct target domains, segmenting unseen target classes with only a few annotated samples. Although existing methods have made significant progress, they still rely on training or fine-tuning processes, which incur high computational costs and risk overfitting.
arXiv:2512. 10244v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Semi-supervised few-shot learning (SSFSL) resembles real-world applications such as auto-annotation, as it aims to learn a model from a few labeled and abundant unlabeled task-specific examples to annotate the unlabeled ones.
