Abstract
Despite its astounding success in learning deeper multi-dimensional data, the performance of deep learning declines on new unseen tasks mainly due to its focus on same-distribution prediction. Moreover, deep learning is notorious for poor generalization from few samples. Meta-learning is a promising approach that addresses these issues by adapting to new tasks with few-shot datasets. This survey first briefly introduces meta-learning and then investigates state-of-the-art meta-learning methods and recent advances in: (i) metric-based, (ii) memory-based, (iii), and learning-based methods. Finally, current challenges and insights for future researches are discussed.

A survey of deep meta-learning
AbstractDeep neural networks can achieve great successes when presented with large data sets and sufficient computational resources. However, their ability to learn new concepts quickly is limited. Meta-learning is one approach to address this issue, by ...
Can we improve meta-learning model in few-shot learning by aligning data distributions?
AbstractMeta-learning becomes a promising way to solve the few-shot learning problem in recent research. This paradigm mainly relies on hierarchical architecture and episodic training to achieve good generalization on the new learning task. ...
Imbalanced Few-Shot Learning Based on Meta-transfer Learning
Artificial Neural Networks and Machine Learning – ICANN 2023AbstractFew-shot learning is a challenging task that aims to learn to adapt to new tasks with only a few labeled samples. Meta-learning is a promising approach to address this challenge, but the learned meta-knowledge on training sets may not always be ...
