Regression Networks for Meta-Learning Few-Shot Classification

We propose regression networks for the problem of few-shot classification, where a classifier must generalize to new classes not seen in the training set, given only a small number of examples of each class. In high dimensional embedding spaces the direction of data generally contains richer information than magnitude. Next to this, state-of-the-art few-shot metric methods that compare distances with aggregated class representations, have shown superior performance. Combining these two insights,...
