Learning models for semantic classification of insufficient plantar pressure images
Establishing a reliable and stable model to predict a target by using insufficient labeled samples is feasible and
effective, particularly, for a sensor-generated data-set. This paper has been inspired with insufficient data-set
learning algorithms, such as metric-based, prototype networks and meta-learning, and therefore we propose
an insufficient data-set transfer model learning method. Firstly, two basic models for transfer learning are
introduced. A classification system and calculation criteria are then subsequently introduced. Secondly, a dataset
of plantar pressure for comfort shoe design is acquired and preprocessed through foot scan system; and by
using a pre-trained convolution neural network employing AlexNet and convolution neural network (CNN)-
based transfer modeling, the classification accuracy of the plantar pressure images is over 93.5%. Finally,
the proposed method has been compared to the current classifiers VGG, ResNet, AlexNet and pre-trained
CNN. Also, our work is compared with known-scaling and shifting (SS) and unknown-plain slot (PS) partition
methods on the public test databases: SUN, CUB, AWA1, AWA2, and aPY with indices of precision (tr, ts, H)
and time (training and evaluation). The proposed method for the plantar pressure classification task shows high
performance in most indices when comparing with other methods. The transfer learning-based method can be
applied to other insufficient data-sets of sensor imaging fields
Neural Snowball for Few-Shot Relation Learning
Knowledge graphs typically undergo open-ended growth of new relations. This
cannot be well handled by relation extraction that focuses on pre-defined
relations with sufficient training data. To address new relations with few-shot
instances, we propose a novel bootstrapping approach, Neural Snowball, to learn
new relations by transferring semantic knowledge about existing relations. More
specifically, we use Relational Siamese Networks (RSN) to learn the metric of
relational similarities between instances based on existing relations and their
labeled data. Afterwards, given a new relation and its few-shot instances, we
use RSN to accumulate reliable instances from unlabeled corpora; these
instances are used to train a relation classifier, which can further identify
new facts of the new relation. The process is conducted iteratively like a
snowball. Experiments show that our model can gather high-quality instances for
better few-shot relation learning and achieves significant improvement compared
to baselines. Codes and datasets are released on

Learning from Very Few Samples: A Survey
Few sample learning (FSL) is significant and challenging in the field of
machine learning. The capability of learning and generalizing from very few
samples successfully is a noticeable demarcation separating artificial
intelligence and human intelligence since humans can readily establish their
cognition to novelty from just a single or a handful of examples whereas
machine learning algorithms typically entail hundreds or thousands of
supervised samples to guarantee generalization ability. Despite the long
history dated back to the early 2000s and the widespread attention in recent
years with booming deep learning technologies, little surveys or reviews for
FSL are available until now. In this context, we extensively review 300+ papers
of FSL spanning from the 2000s to 2019 and provide a timely and comprehensive
survey for FSL. In this survey, we review the evolution history as well as the
current progress on FSL, categorize FSL approaches into the generative model
based and discriminative model based kinds in principle, and emphasize
particularly on the meta learning based FSL approaches. We also summarize
several recently emerging extensional topics of FSL and review the latest
advances on these topics. Furthermore, we highlight the important FSL
applications covering many research hotspots in computer vision, natural
language processing, audio and speech, reinforcement learning and robotic, data
analysis, etc. Finally, we conclude the survey with a discussion on promising
trends in the hope of providing guidance and insights to follow-up researches.Comment: 30 page
