One-shot Learning with Absolute Generalization
share
One-shot learning is proposed to make a pretrained classifier workable on a new dataset based on one labeled samples from each pattern. However, few of researchers consider whether the dataset itself supports one-shot learning. In this paper, we propose a set of definitions to explain what kind of datasets can support one-shot learning and propose the concept "absolute generalization". Based on these definitions, we proposed a method to build an absolutely generalizable classifier. The proposed method concatenates two samples as a new single sample, and converts a classification problem to an identity identification problem or a similarity metric problem. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method is superior to baseline on one-shot learning datasets and artificial datasets.
