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

Learning-State-Aware Dynamic Generative Data Augmentation on Small-Scale Datasets

Learning-State-Aware Dynamic Generative Data Augmentation on Small-Scale Datasets proposes LSADA, a method that constructs a learning state for each sample based on its loss and loss‑decrease rate to determine a sample‑specific augmentation strength. LSADA also introduces a decoupled data augmentation and diffusion fusion strategy that applies strength‑controlled transformations to class‑relevant regions while generating diverse class‑irrelevant regions, progressively fusing them to enhance image diversity while preserving class semantics. Experiments on nine public datasets demonstrate that LSADA outperforms the current state‑of‑the‑art dynamic GDA method by an average of 4.5% on six natural image datasets and 2.5% on three medical image datasets.
