Self-Prompt Mechanism for Few-Shot Image Recognition

Few-shot learning poses a formidable challenge as it necessitates effective recognition of novel classes based on a limited set of examples. Recent studies have sought to address the challenge of rare samples by tuning visual features through the utilization of external text prompts. However, the performance of these methods is constrained due to the inherent modality gap between the prompt text and image features. Instead of naively utilizing the external semantic information generated from text to guide the training of the image encoder, we propose a novel self-prompt mechanism (SPM) to adaptively adjust the neural network according to unseen data. Specifically, SPM involves a systematic selection of intrinsic semantic features generated by the image encoder across spatial and channel dimensions, thereby engendering self-prompt information. Subsequently, upon backpropagation of this self-prompt information to the deeper layers of the neural network, it effectively steers the network toward the learning and adaptation of new samples. Meanwhile, we propose a novel parameter-efficient tuning method that exclusively fine-tunes the parameters relevant to self-prompt (prompts are no more than 2% of the total parameters), and the incorporation of additional learnable parameters as self-prompt ensures the retention of prior knowledge through frozen encoder weights. Therefore, our method is highly suited for few-shot recognition tasks that require both information retention and adaptive adjustment of network parameters with limited labeling data constraints. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed SPM in both 5-way 1-shot and 5-way 5-shot settings for standard single-domain and cross-domain few-shot recognition datasets, respectively.

Recently, Transformer-based methods have achieved surprising performance in the field of long-term series forecasting, but the attention mechanism for computing global correlations entails high complexity. And they do not allow for targeted modeling of local features as CNN structures do. To solve the above problems, we propose to combine local features and global correlations to capture the overall view of time series (e.g., fluctuations, trends). To fully exploit the underlying information in the time series, a multi-scale branch structure is adopted to model different potential patterns separately. Each pattern is extracted with down-sampled convolution and isometric convolution for local features and global correlations, respectively. In addition to being more effective, our proposed method, termed as Multi-scale Isometric Convolution Network (MICN), is more efficient with linear complexity about the sequence length with suitable convolution kernels. Our experiments on six benchmark datasets show that compared with state-of-the-art methods, MICN yields 17.2% and 21.6% relative improvements for multivariate and univariate time series, respectively.
