Exploiting Style Transfer-based Task Augmentation for Cross-Domain Few-Shot Learning [PDF]
In cross-domain few-shot learning, the core issue is that the model trained on source domains struggles to generalize to the target domain, especially when the domain shift is large. Motivated by the observation that the domain shift between training tasks and target tasks usually can reflect in their style variation, we propose Task Augmented Meta ...
