Training-free few-shot adaptation methods have gained significant attention recently in the context of Vision-language Models (VLMs). Yet, current benchmarks rely on strong assumptions about the statistics of the adaptation data, e.
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 critically evaluates common few‑shot learning protocols that rely on pre‑training a model on a large auxiliary set with classes disjoint from the target but drawn from the same visual domain. By comparing no pre‑training, class‑disjoint in‑domain pre‑training, supervised out‑of‑domain pre‑training, and label‑free out‑of‑domain pre‑training across eight datasets and three architectures, the authors find that in‑domain pre‑training yields a 33.41‑point average improvement, while out‑of‑domain pre‑training offers a 23.75‑point gain, revealing a 9.66‑point optimistic bias due to domain overlap. They also demonstrate that a label‑free augmentation strategy can match supervised out‑of‑domain performance and propose a descriptor‑based source‑selection method that closely approximates oracle selection, underscoring the need to move beyond in‑domain pre‑training as the default evaluation protocol.
