In few-shot learning scenarios, the challenge is to generalize and perform well on new unseen examples when only very few labeled examples are available for each task. Model-agnostic meta-learning (MAML) has gained the popularity as one of the representative few-shot learning methods for its flexibility and applicability to diverse problems. However, MAML and its variants often resort to a simple loss function without any auxiliary loss function or regularization terms that can help achieve bett

The objective of few-shot learning is to design a system that can adapt to a given task with only few examples while achieving generalization. Model-agnostic meta-learning (MAML), which has recently gained the popularity for its simplicity and flexibility, learns a good initialization for fast adaptation to a task under few-data regime. However, its performance has been relatively limited especially when novel tasks are different from tasks previously seen during training. In this work, instead

Few-shot learning is an emerging yet challenging problem in which the goal is to achieve generalization from only few examples. Meta-learning tackles few-shot learning via the learning of prior knowledge shared across tasks and using it to learn new tasks. One of the most representative meta-learning algorithms is the model-agnostic meta-learning (MAML), which formulates prior knowledge as a common initialization, a shared starting point from where a learner can quickly adapt to unseen tasks. Ho

A 100 HP rated synchronous motor with superconducting rotating field winding has been designed based on the formulated equations established from 2 dimensional magnetic field distributions in a cylindrical coordinate. The cross-section was drawn based on calculated design results via Fortran program and then modeled with FEM (finite element method) to investigate the machine performances. First of all, the magnetic field distributions are analyzed in many ways according to the field directions a

Despite its popularity, several recent works question the effectiveness of MAML when test tasks are different from training tasks, thus suggesting various task-conditioned methodology to improve the initialization. Instead of searching for better task-aware initialization, we focus on a complementary factor in MAML framework, inner-loop optimization (or fast adaptation). Consequently, we propose a new weight update rule that greatly enhances the fast adaptation process. Specifically, we introduc

Fast and reliable adaptability to appearance variations of any target object has been the holy grail of visual tracking. Recently, Siamese-based trackers have demonstrated outstanding speed, however at the cost of adaptability and accuracy. We propose to model a temporal evolution of appearance features, allowing for adaptability without online training. Specifically, we introduce a memory-augmented convolutional recurrent neural network (RNN), named Past-to-Future (P2FNet), that takes appearanc

Few-shot learning is a challenging problem where the goal is to achieve generalization from only few examples. Model-agnostic meta-learning (MAML) tackles the problem by formulating prior knowledge as a common initialization across tasks, which is then used to quickly adapt to unseen tasks. However, forcibly sharing an initialization can lead to conflicts among tasks and the compromised (undesired by tasks) location on optimization landscape, thereby hindering the task adaptation. Further, we ob

We tackle the problem of visual localization under changing conditions, such as time of day, weather, and seasons. Recent learned local features based on deep neural networks have shown superior performance over classical hand-crafted local features. However, in a real-world scenario, there often exists a large domain gap between training and target images, which can significantly degrade the localization accuracy. While existing methods utilize a large amount of data to tackle the problem, we p
