Abstract: We generalize the formulation of few-shot learning by introducing the concept of an aspect. In the traditional formulation of few-shot learning, there is an underlying assumption that a single “true” label defines the content of each data point. This label serves as a basis for the comparison between the query object and the objects in the support set. However, when a human expert is asked to execute the same task without a predefined set of labels, they typically consider the rest of the data points in the support set as context. This context specifies the level of abstraction and the aspect from which the comparison can be made. In this work, we introduce a novel architecture and training procedure that develops a context given the query and support set and implements aspect-based few-shot learning that is not limited to a predetermined set of classes. We demonstrate that our method is capable of forming and using an aspect for few-shot learning on the Geometric Shapes and Sprites dataset. The results validate the feasibility of our approach compared to traditional few-shot learning.
